Tomoki Iwata

When you say hearing

Was it something you were told or seen online

 

KDS

 

Pendy

 

Makes sense

 

Think I'll go back to another hit of morphine now

 

haven't a clue mate I'm not on KDS lol

 

Hope ye brought enough for everyone.

 

To be fair probably makes sense he's away was never going to play for Celtic

 

Seems a dependable back up, if he moves on it will just highlight the lack of depth in the squad. Another season of bad injuries and we would be left very exposed.

 

Mental if true.

Already short of numbers in midfield and he's very rarely let us down and is only out and out DM we have

 

Never really rated him.. if we had cover I'd be happy seeing him go but we don't.. absolute shambles of a transfer window so far

 

Thought he was a good player not got a run in the team, jleague player of the year I'm sure at one point...would rather stayed!

 

I've never particularly rated Iwata but I'd be cautious of letting him go because he's the ONLY natural CDM in our squad.

It's unbelievable that we're going into Europe again seemingly unfazed by this. We won't get results without one, guaranteed.

 

Engels will be

 

I like Iwata, but he lacks one vital ingredient for a good defensive midfielder.

Natural aggression.

And I don't think you can teach that.

It might be better we let him go, and bring in someone who has heaps of natural aggression.

 

He's useful, in that he allows CalMac to push further forward when he is picked. Selling him before getting bodies in would be crazy.

 

He does things far too slowly for our game, his main issue . It's like he needs a couple of seconds to get his bearings when he receives the ball before he decides what to do with it. Don't get that time over here .

 

If he goes I hope it means we are going to bring in a first team level replacement for ORiley. He's OK as a back up but don't see him making the step up. Even so losing him before bringing in another midfielder feels a bit risky

 

This is what stands out the most for me. Seen quite a few times him recieving the ball then slowing and lifting his head up to look around and it gets nicked off him. Think with the other lads we have in that position he’s now surplus to requirements, wouldn’t mind offloading him and bringing in mccowan with Engels to boost the homegrown quota

 

Iwata’s most obvious flaw is wanting too much time on the ball and being caught in possession. He’s a decent squad player. Happy to keep him but wouldn’t be gutted if he left.
