Revealing transfer targets is not the Ange Postecoglou way and the Celtic boss has never wavered during his wildly-successful 18 months in Glasgow.
And why should he? The 57-year-old's uncanny knack of unearthing gems means there's no reason for him to do his bidding in public. It's his modus operandi to bat away individual names, however, that doesn't mean the Postecoglou is keeping his Parkhead public in the dark over his long-term signing vision. His words over the past few weeks have been illuminating as he mapped out the next stage of his plans.
The Celtic manager, speaking to punters at the club's AGM earlier this month, said: "Aggressive in the transfer market – it could be unsettling with players in and out quickly but if you look at the models of clubs our size they’re very agile. Every couple of years they regenerate and move players out at the right time with improved players in. We need to push aggressively over the next two to three years, first qualifying and then making an impact.”
