    Can't get over our efficiency in the transfer market. Ange is a consummate professional and I'm loving every minute of it (to quote Kris Boyd)

    My goodness, we are not hanging about are we?

    If he has similar success as Kyogo, Hatate and Maeda then we are on to a winner.

    interesting times indeed

    Exact same as Daizen deal. It’s a compulsory purchase order so he has essentially signed a 4.5 year deal!

    As much as I am happy with our Japanese Bhoys I am a bit worried if they are all called up for international duty for some Asian continental qualifiers in the middle of the season which could leave us a bit short.

    Brilliant to get another in. Hopefully 4th time lucky in terms of a holding midfielder as well.

    I was thinking this also but then it's a risk we take. I do believe Ange if he keeps picking a few gems from Asia, drills it into them our winning mentality we could be onto something big. It's not wild to think he could get a team together to win the Champions League or even one of the other European cups. Anyone who thinks this is impossible doesn't have the winning mentality that some of us do! Anything is possible when everything falls into place and this could be it. If not, atleast they'll bring something different plus still picking up domestic trophies although I do believe Ange has his sights on the cup with the big ears. Could ya imagine it too. Another European final only this time winning it again.

    A couple more Japanese players and we launch an assault on the Champions League.

    And Pearl Harbour.

    One thing i dont think many think about is that with 5-6 Japanese players, we will most likely keep them even though huge clubs would show interest in them. No way would they leave for another club when they have so many friends with the same nationality and culture at Celtic. This could be absolutely huge for us long term.

    It's a huge bonus for new signings coming in that we already have a settled group to help them adapt and settle in, and if players are happy they maybe will stay a bit longer, but still if you get a decent sized team from a bigger league offering two or three times the wages we do? They're still professionals with ambition and would be tempted.

    I have a feeling he's going to be a missing piece for our midfield.

    Felt the same with Hatate.

    Gut instinct.
