Kyogo Furuhashi

Ange making the big moves baby. Vissel Kobe have announced its signed for 4.5 milion pounds. Strong striker/winger. Very clinical. He has been playing in front of Andres Inesta for the last few seasons. Im * excited.

This was all a bit 'secret'; wonder how many other 'secret' signings are going to pop out of nowhere.

 

Interesting one.

Will put to bed any idea that Ange is not making any of these signings on his own.

Big step for all concerned.

Don't see anything official yet, any other links confirming this?

 

From Celtic? Not that I see.

Although I would say his current club is fairly official

Timing would suggest this deals suffering from the old time difference thing, where perhaps Kobe have agreed to what ever latest proposal Celtic out forward, in the dead of night for us in the UK, so no one likely awake to push this on our side yet

Wikipedia already has him as a Celtic player, good enough for me!
Welcome to Celtic!

 

Ah, I just used google translate, doesn't say he has signed though just the transfer fee has been agreed. Hopefully not a premature thread

 

We are pleased to announce that we have reached a basic agreement between the clubs regarding the complete transfer of forward Kyogo Furuhashi (26) to Celtic FC, which belongs to the Scottish Premiership. In the future, a formal contract will be signed after undergoing local medical checks.

Part of the statement from his club

 

Very big step amongst some of the doubting section of the fan base.

 

True, likely more just that side of it.

Though that's usually the biggest and last stumbling block for us.
In assuming (risking it here) we've already talked to the player in some capacity and the move is going to go ahead pending medicals and all that good stuff.

Not expecting it announced from us, with a scarf above his head, before the start of next week at least.

Just seen a clip of him on you tube.
Good goals using both feet.

 

His club saying its happening any day now is as good a source as you can get.
Guy has scored 14 in 20 in the league this season and 3 in 5 for Japan this year too. He is also a left winger which is a place we all know we need to improve.

 

If he hasn't had a medical yet........Rivaldo Coetzee.

However if Celtic confirm this then it can only be positive. A huge sign that Ange is being backed. Totally his signing yes?

 

Also good that it's totally out the blue and been kept under the radar. Long may it continue.

 

Yes Man

 

Lad looks to have a shot on him. From the comments the fans seem to put him up there with Iniesta in terms of importance to the team. Good stuff.

 

Is that an official club website?

 

Looks great on that video but we all know what YouTube highlight reels can do for someone.

This has come out of nowhere, can play left wing as well, seems a decent signing on paper.

Anyone know the fee?

 

Like with Abada we have another winger/forward to essentially play a front 3. I don't think these signings have come from elsewhere.

 

the good thing with these players from Japan is that they already know who Ange is and what he will expect from them, even if they weren’t at Marinos.

hopefully he can come in and hit the ground running for Game 2 against the Danes.
