Decent goal rate but it is in the J-League...

Some of his strikes are peachy right enough but the fact remains he is still playing in the J-League where as Nakamura had a long spell in Seria A which was obviously beneficial to his development.The only way i can see this guy coming to Celtic is if it's in some sort of loan arrangement

 

Impressive but dont we already have too many average young strikers? We need a Makaay!

 

i think we should sign him. It's a relatively low risk signing.If he was guff we'd probably get the money back for him from championship or continental team

 

makaay is TOO OLD.
that * he reminds me of kenny miller

theres no good strikes there.

 

The boy looks like a cracking finisher, and quite nippy, but the culture change is a lot to handle so am no sure he'd be as confident over here. Dare i say it but some of the goals there reminded me of a certain Mr Of-Kings

 

i thought that too!
i like what i saw j league faroes league champions league if you can finish you can finish plus he has scored at international level too.
there shouldnt be much outlay but him and naka could cause a frenzy in the asian market.....£££££££'s

 

He looks a decent player, but weve got enough of them just now

I would rather we sign a more accomplished striker

 

Top of J league looks better than the SPL except maybe Celtic. I reckon a top J league striker would easily be a top SPL striker as long as he could adjust to the hammer throwing style of Scotland. He does look the nippy type of striker but with JVOH and Killen in place we dont need more target men. No price has been mentioned but if we are talking a couple of milion tops then could be of interest. Cant really judge him on a few clips though. You could make JJ look good with a minute of clips.

 

* I can't believe it, Sato is my favourite J - league player!
Sato is very consistant and has been the top Japanese goalscorer of the J - league the 2 previous seasons, and is pretty high in the goalscoring rankings at the moment...I wouldn't advise him to come to Glasgow, although that would be cool...

And to say that he is like Kenny is harsh, Kenny didn't score much the previous season, did he?

 

Where are you from?
Do you know much of the J League?
I myself know * all about it except that Gary Lineker played for some team with one of those Stupis American Names - J Force Fighting Sparrows or something like that .

I'd sign him, he looks better than what we've got with the exception of JVoH, but that's clips for you.

 

is it just me ? but he reminded me (a wee bit) of lubo. looks very comfortable on the ball and a quality finisher.
