Good piece on Naka

great play-maker! excellent attitude!

he is the maestro..

 

As well as being a quality player Nakamura seems to be a real honest class act off the field and a model pro.

 

WILL certainly be a LEGEND in time to come if he stays with celtic!!

I see my future at Celtic, says Naka
SHUNSUKE NAKAMURA has given his broadest hint yet he has no intention of quitting Celtic.
There were fears that, having achieved his ambition of playing in the Champions League, the Japanese star would now consider a move back to Europe.
But, Naka has made it clear he plans to be here for next season's return to the Champions League - and to help Celtic build on this season's first of reaching the knockout round.

The man whose free- kicks brought him back to the attention of club bosses across Europe said: "Some players might leave Celtic and some might arrive during the summer, but my main objective for next season would be to reach the latter stages again."
That declaration of intent will be a huge boost to Celtic fans who are bracing themselves for the now customary speculation about Nakamura's future, even though he is under contract until 2009.
Nakamura is determined to help Celtic find the shortest route possible back to the Champions League group stage by closing out this season's SPL championship.
He is currently in Japan preparing to play Peru in a friendly this weekend, and that means Naka will have plenty of time to recover from his journey back before Celtic go to Dundee United a week on Saturday.
Already, the 27-year-old has set his sights on avoiding three league defeats in a row.
And, having scored a hat-trick at Tannadice on his last visit in October, he is more than happy to be heading back to Tayside.
He said: "The sooner you get the title the better, but I'm not impatient at all. We've worked hard to get into our position and we want to win the league."
Nakamura laughs off suggestions Celtic may be showing signs of tiredness as they enter the final lap.
He reckons the way boss Gordon Strachan handles his players ensures they will be more than ready for the sprint to the finishing line.
He told the Celtic View: "There are a lot of us who have played constantly over the past few weeks, and the manager gave us some time off recently just to make sure we didn't burn out."
Strachan will use the break to focus on summer signing targets. He has already been alerted to the fact that Shalrie Joseph - the subject of two bids by the Parkhead club already - has broken off negotiations over a new contract with his MLS club, New England Revolution.
The Grenada midfielder, who still has two years to run on his £1650-per-week contract, said: "I had a great offer from Celtic and I should be paid what I'm worth."



on yourself Naka.
