Kyogo Furuhashi

Usually I would be one for reccomending that we intergrate him into the team but under current circumstances I think Big Ange would be wise to throw him straight into action.

 

I'd rather he be bled into the team than chucked in. Think it would be more rewarding for him and us in the long run.

 

Off the bench to score the winner tomorrow, just like sincys debut.

 

A nice we 20 minute run out to have a look would go good. Guy seems an utter professional so wouldn't be just sitting about his London hotel room eating tea cakes anyway

 

Kyogo Furuhashi is thrilled to have joined Celtic, with the Japanese internationalist having moved to Scotland on a four-year deal from Vissel Kobe in Japan.

The 26-year-old attacker is looking forward to pulling on the green and white Hoops for the first time, and he will do so wearing the No.8 jersey – a number that has personal significance for him as well as being an iconic one in Celtic’s recent history.

Speaking exclusively to the official Celtic website, Kyogo, who will hopefully arrive in Scotland at some point this weekend, said: “I am absolutely delighted to be a Celtic player and I can’t wait to join up with the manager and my team-mates and start playing for our great supporters. This move to Scotland and to Celtic is huge for me and I am so excited.

'The number 8 is a number I have always loved and one I wanted to wear.'

“I know it’s a massive number for Celtic fans and was worn for so long by Scott Brown, who is one of the club’s true heroes. I am well aware of what he gave to the club.

"He is a real legend of Celtic and knowing that Scott has worn this jersey for so long with such success will be extra motivation for me to do my very best to honour and pay tribute to him as best I can.

“It is also the number worn by my former team-mate, Andres Iniesta, someone I am very close to and who I am privileged to call a friend.

"To wear the number of these two great players means a lot and it is a phenomenal honour for me. I will work hard to do it justice.

“But it won’t all be about numbers for me. This is about Celtic, about joining a brilliant football club, about hard work, getting to know my team-mates, enjoying football, working closely with the manager and giving my supporters everything I have.”

 

Boooo, I was hoping he'd take the 7

 

Same

 

Really think this boy could be special for us

 

Wake me up before Kyago

 

Flattering Broony with Iniesta on the same sentence! Probably first he heard of him was last week.

 

"Sometime this weekend"

Better get a move on the games at 8pm! I'd be driving up at 12 in a limo with a bed. Fresh n ready for training in the morning

 

Anyone aware if the wee man is fluent in English?

 

I hope he's good in the hoops. We can't really afford money failures in the transfer market at the mo.

 

Just start him up top tomorrow in the middle, will do better than Edouard even if ur hasn’t trained.

 

In that Vissel Kobe behind the scenes video he said he was going to start studying English so I don't think he has any. He did mention he was studying Spanish, to which his mate replied "Spanish? You know they speak English in Scotland? What the * were you learning Spanish for?"

 

Celtic should reply and ask him what he’s doing tomorrow, would still be more effective than Edouard.
