    Aye. When I watched his videos that's what sprang to mind.

    Same height, similar stocky build, presses and is aggressive, has obviously shown he can score goals before.

    I read that they got a new manager for this season who is more defensive and apparently impacted his form. It's very much worth the risk.

    I also still think we will sign another striker.

    Was against this signing from the off purely for the simple reason that his surname instantly made me think, ‘yer mad da’ - and now I can’t unsee/hear it every time.

    And you don't look at Maeda every game and wish he was "my da"?

    Someone made a good point recently in that had we signed him in January, this place would be buzzing.

    At that point, we'd be signing him off the back of 19 goals and 4 assists in 38 league matches. Excellent stats.

    Clearly hasn't worked out for him this season but it does look like they've changed manager, which can always make a big difference.

    As a third choice ST on paper, its a shrewd signing imo.

    I’m never done trying to make they jokes, but when the majority somehow think it’s pronounced anything like fitting into that ‘Tequila’ song, I fight a losing battle. :56:

    Anyway if we're doing songs for him then there's only one option for me:

    There's only one Shin Yamada
    Scoring goals for the Celtic
    He runs with super speed
    Even faster than daizen
    If you can believe
    Shin Yamada, Shin Yamada, Shin Yamada...

    Some Japanese journalist reported that Yamada had offers from the Bundesliga and chose Celtic. I don’t know the details, but that’s good if true.
