    He's built like a * rugby player. "Too lightweight" :giggle1:.

    Any update on his injury?
    I feel like this guy gets totally overlooked, even when he does well he doesnt get a mention by Rodgers or in the media. I think he could have a very important part to play this season.

    Tomokoi may be many things and it remains to be seen can he make it and be a success at Celtic but being too lightweight will never been an issue for him.
    Really was hoping when I saw this thread bumped that there would be some positive news on his return from injury. Having him this weekend would be a massive boost I think.

    Thats not a good sign. Likely missing again tomorrow so. It is odd though that we have heard absolutely nothing about what his injury is and how long he may be out.

    It sounds incredibly narrow, but I think our midfield would be unreal if we can get Iwata, Mcgregor, Hatate and O'Riley all on the pitch.

    All fun and games and I know it sounds harsh on Scales but if we do a back three I'd much rather see Lagerbielke, Nawrocki, CCV. But in reality we all know that ain't happening as its more likely two of CBs are sold come January :56:

    Tbh with kyogo in the middle I find it odd the amount of crosses we put in. Need much more central penetration

    Thats where Turnbull just doesn't cut it other then his ability to shoot from distance.

    Could have been the difference for us if he played every game that hatate never. Got a lot of time for him, and gutted for him getting his injury. Very important player for us imo.

    Really unlucky with timing of injury, just felt he could have really kicked on

    Would be worth a try but suspect BR is too stubborn in his ways.
    With a back 3 of CCV Nawrock and Scales, and run with Maeda Oh and Kyogo up top, would be interesting.

    Certainly while Hatate is out yes. But he needs to be fit himself.
