    The bump on this thread got me a bit excited. It all depends on if Rodgers thinks we need a proper DMF. And yes, @jvalin , our Japanese bhoys could persuade Wataru to come to us.

    Hmmm, kept a close eye on him due to prior links - for a major premium price, not sure he'd a major upgrade on what we have.

    This.

    We're weak as * in the mid.

    We need a bruiser in there.

    Aye, it was even evident last night, no bite in the midfield. Defence was ropey and we should have been out of sight with chances missed.. but when it came to a bit of a battle we were outfought..

    Genuinely think the only reason our name is being mentioned is because we've signed several Japanese players in recent seasons.

    Endo is exactly what we need but not realistic - wages, age, and transfer fee they’d want make him out of reach.

    Sign someone like him though, find the next Endo

    It's high time we used our Japanese connection to draw a big name to Celtic Park. An 18 month loan, pls.

    Isn't he pretty lightweight, a kinda Calmac style player when at #6 - technically excellent but deffo not an aggressive holding CM?
    If so, no use to us - certainly not at EPL wages.

    No, not really - he’s a ball winner who covers a lot of ground. Was brilliant at it in the Bundesliga and did it a lot last year at Liverpool.

    Filled in at CB a few times for them this season and played well too.

    He’s a better version of Iwata in his style of play. In which we didn’t think he did enough attacking wise anyway so shipped him off! Would be wasted with us for 40 games of the season. Hence why we persist with McGregor who isn’t a 6 just cos he gets forward more than his defensive capabilities

    Wouldn’t be opposed to endo coming in, has looked a decent footballer whenever I have seen him but think it would most likely be a one year loan if it were to happen. Would imagine he will most likely go elsewhere
