The winter transfer window is going to be very vital for Celtic if Wilfried Nancy is to have any hope of turning things around. It is safe to say that most fans have given up on the French manager already and want to see him being shown the exit door after winning just five of his seven games in charge of the club.
At the same time, there is also a recognition that he does not have the right players at the moment to implement his preferred system. Let's see if the club provide him with that in January.
Of course, there is a risk involved with backing Nancy. It feels inevitable that he is going to be sacked, especially if the results don't turn around quickly. The board clearly want to see him succeed and avoid admitting that they made an error in appointing the Frenchman. Even then, at some point, common sense will need to prevail.
Celtic have already gotten one deal over the line this winter. They have signed Julian Araujo on loan from Bournemouth. And it looks like a second addition might not be far away.
'Transfer could take place' - Celtic want winger after signing Julian Araujo
As reported by Martin Charquero, Nacho Laquintana could move to Celtic. The Hoops are interested in acquiring the winger's registration from RB Bragantino. The transfer could take place in this European transfer window.
Laquintana is a winger who has spent all of his career in South American leagues. He is also a full Uruguayan international, who has even scored for the national team.
There is a lot to like about these Laquintana rumours for sure. But then again, there would be a question regarding the adjustment, considering he has never played in Europe. Let's see if a move happens.
