Brendan Rodgers discusses the need to trim down his bloated Celtic squad, and his desire to replace quantity with quality...
CELTIC manager Brendan Rodgers will look to trim the fat from his squad in January, as he aims to offload some fringe players as well as bringing in some ‘quality’ additions who can make an immediate impact on his starting XI.
He is hoping to find more suitable clubs for many of those players in the new year to get them the game time they need to help their development, and he says that he won’t be looking to add any more project signings in the immediate future.“I think there will be more out than coming in. I think there will be players who will be here for six months and won’t have played.“Like I’ve said before, it is no fault of them. The squad is obviously a lot bigger than I would want.
“Your squads are 25, which is 22 plus three goalkeepers. It is not ideal. I think there were younger players that were going to come in and see how they develop. “So, it is that mixture between players coming in to develop and ones that decided to stay and not move on. But I think over the course of the next couple of windows we’ll get the squad down to a workable group.”
