    He's only played 5 games at RB. Seems very predominantly left sided.

    I always prefer to have an option though. If he was to come in and be outstanding then we would all want to keep him regardless of Inamura.

    Unless we view Inamura being ready as Tierney's cover next season, I don't see the point in this signing.

    It screams of a panic loan.

    To be fair, he's not someone we'd struggle to keep if he does well, but I think we clearly see Inamura there in the future.

    Just get it done at this point.

    Im not that bothered with the "hot head" stuff. Quite the opposite actually. About * time we get someone in that will scream and players faces and give them a good kicking.

    I am. You don't think a hot head is a complete liability playing for Celtic when we have Scottish refs looking for the tiniest excuse to handicap us?

    Problem for me is the reported poor discipline. We've seen this before with Bernie: big culture shock coming from South America, coming in as second choice, poor discipline as it is. Just seems a recipe for a blow up.

    All we can hope for is that Tierney stays fit. I'd be shocked if Saracchi is here next year.

    It's incredibly frustrating that every single window we go into it looking for a left back and the best we can seemingly deliver are loan deals of players clubs simply want to get off their books.

    Valle is a prime example last season - we could have actually tried to get him permanently for £3-4m. He may or may not have wanted the move permanently but we weren't interested. Barca needed to sell also.

    Best thing we can hope for is Inamura takes every chance he gets and convinces Rodgers he's the answer as our backup LB.

    Yeah if it is discipline issues i don't want that here. would be very strange as we are extreme when it comes to bringing players that suits the team well in.

    I get the that's feeling why we've loaned. Usually at £2m you'd think we'd just take the punt. I think it's worth the loan to see, get Inamura the loan and see if he can replace next year.

    Feel this must be due to Johnson's injury. I think he'll possibly be first choice RB, but the fact he's got limited game time there is poor.

    On the plus side, he can easily shift to LB when KT gets subbed, allowing Ralston or Donovan to come on to cover RB.

    Another positive is the linked to signed time here, which was only 3 days!

    This time of the window usually always completes destroys Celtic trotted out excuses of things taking time and "moving parts" or complex deals - turns out almost every other club can do a deal within a few days and when we really want to, so can we.

    Fact other deals can take all summer, sometimes multiple windows, is just sole destroying knowing the * could act better.

    Che, Saracchi's representative is a genius, I don't know how he convinced the Celtic folks to take him to Scotland.








    To think that independent they preferred the eared dwarf that is worth almost 3 sticks

    He's definitely not well rated over there :56:

    The fact he can play RB is a bonus, but i do think I'd have preferred giving Inamura a chance at LB.

    It's 100% cover for Tierney.

    He's played 5 games at RB by the age of 27.
