Celtic cannot afford another repeat of last season’s transfer failings when it comes to replacing Daizen Maeda. Brendan Rodgers admitted he knew of Maeda’s intentions as far back as February, which makes the club’s failure to plan for his departure all the more frustrating. Instead of acting decisively in the summer, Celtic blocked the move, leaving the player in limbo and running the risk of having an unsettled figure in the squad. Supporters still haven’t forgiven the hierarchy for last January, when Kyogo was allowed to leave for France without a replacement lined up. That was followed up by an even more baffling summer window, where Kuhn was sold and Adam Idah’s 20 goals from the previous campaign were not replaced.
