Pundit defends Celtic’s transfer business, uses Bournemouth’s Dominic Solanke as an example

Celtic have concluded very little deals this month as Brendan Rodgers heads into the second half of the campaign with possibly only one new signing.

Whilst it’s easy for the fans to demand that the powers that be bring in more added quality, Peter Grant was keen to highlight that it isn’t that easy.

He thinks there ‘isn’t much out there’ for Celtic to go and buy this month that will improve the quality within the squad, as he told Go Radio.

The former Bhoys star was keen to use Bournemouth’s high-flying forward Dominic Solanke, who worked with Brendan Rodgers at Chelsea, as an example and how players like that are on a ‘different planet right now’. The 26-year-old has 12 goals from 20 Premier League matches.

When it comes to competing in Scotland, there is no doubt that Celtic hold an advantage over others, they have the money and the wage bill.

But when you start to compare it to other leagues, then it becomes a drop in the ocean and prevents the clubs from buying the really big stars.

You would imagine if those at Parkhead had the financial power then they would buy players like Dominic Solanke, but Peter Grant thinks it’s not the case anymore.

Celtic’s quiet January transfer window

“Quality in this window is so, so difficult,” said Grant. “I must admit, I have been in the position before and been to clubs before oh, he hasn’t been playing or whatever.

MORE CELTIC STORIES

“He maybe sixth choice, but they are still not letting him out. For the quality Celtic need to make them better. I don’t think there is that much out there, to be honest with you, which is going to be available.

“It’s not as if you can say, which you used to do, ‘the boy Solanke doing well at Bournemouth. Let’s go and buy him’. Unfortunately, that’s not going to happen anymore. Everything (the price etc…).

“Brendan worked with him at Chelsea as a kid and all those sorts of things. You are talking about people like that. We are on a different planet right now, and that’s Bournemouth we are talking about, so we have to understand that.

“He has said ‘the quality has got to be better than what I have’. I think that’s interesting because when you look round about. Are there people better?”

Any late deals

The window will officially slam shut on Thursday and it doesn’t seem as though any major deals will be concluded by Celtic.

Perhaps one more face can be sneaked through. Surely, with the injury to Greg Taylor, even a loan deal from somebody will be pushed through at left-back.

Could there be any late outgoings? Certain players, such as Gustaf Lagerbielke, clearly don’t have a future under Rodgers.

So, if he isn’t gone by the time the window slams shut, then he will only be harming his own career because you would expect him to get very little game time, if any.
