Hayato Inamura

  1. If Rodgers says he may be one we look to loan out, when arrived.. then this should happen.

    Think we'll sign a more experienced backup, maybe a loan deal and let him go out to another Scottish Premiership club.
     
  2. Could be *

    but in the Celtic underground weekly they mentioned a new player was asked to play for the b team in order to help build up fitness



    Wonder if that’s why he’s not been involved recently

  3. What was that we saw in pre-season then? A * mirage? :56:Looked fit and capable during that haha
     
  4. Probably the man city boy on loan

  6. Inamura wouldn't make sense..

    He was match fit playing in the j league right before signing for us and played in most of our pre season games..

  7. He looked fitter than the rest of the squad in the games he played. No chance it’s him.

  8. JSP??

    Rodgers spoke about him being behind fitness wise due to lack of games.

    There's also certain rules for who can play in B team games, even in the cups, in terms of age etc

    Inamura would be too old
     
  9. Loan, no buy clause and won't do the basics to get fit if it is him. Not sure why we'd not just send him back unless it's to not * off Man City.
     
  10. Aye couple of massive IFs.... IF it's him and IF it's true then get him to * and give Murray the opportunity
     
  11. A pointless signing.
     
  12. Not from a profit point of view. £250K I think we payed for him, he's worth way more than that especially if we developed him.

    Just more money in the bank though.
     
    Only put a wee "if" in, apologies @Ryanm1984. I'll try to use more of those massive IFs as you suggest :50:.

    It might not be him, I'm just responding to another persons comment. Squad management is looking a shambles though. Luckily we aren't adding to the chaos and keeping squad compact.
     

  13. Haha not having a go mate. I agree with you but just meaning it depends on if the story is even true and it's even him.
    Celtic underground do tend to be a lot of rumours with no backup

  14. I suppose we'll see. I was referring to contribution to the team though.

  15. I see he hasn't made the CL squad but Osmand did.

    He will probably go out on loan in January.
     
  16. He should be out on loan now if he’s not playing games. Not rotting in the B team until January.

    The B team isn’t currently fit for purpose and plays at a level below which we should be developing our best prospects.

  17. Probably burned out bridges with any other Japanese players watching this unfold.
     
  18. I think Rodgers has handled this very poorly. He was impressive and pre-season and it seems to have meant nothing. Playing Scales at Left back for the sake of it is pointless.

    That said, a decent loan move (preferably in SPFL) could see him come back here next season and contribute.

  19. Isn't the B team restricted by age? Surely 23 is too old?
