    Could be important for us off the bench if BR wants to go inverted he looks very suited to that or if we are struggling to beat a press he looks very calm and great range of passing. Still seem to be in for a ledt back though so maybe the plan is still a loan move.

    Falkirk would be a decent shout, play good football ane his defending will be tested plenty

    To be fair they say the same about Idah and Engels.

    Price is a of course important but what a player contributes is the ultimate factor.

    Wasn't really the price that underwhelmed me it was more that its not a place famed for great defenders. Will see how he fairs, it is still early days.

    Technique wise he's brilliant though.

    Could be ideal as back up LB with scope to move into CB when he’s more adjusted to the physicality of the league.

    Would have been interesting to see him lining up with Kyogo. Wee man was always making darts in behind and was very rarely picked out

    I hope Daizen can introduce him to his stylist because he really needs a makeover. Apart from that, Welcome Hayato!

    Have to say I have liked what I have seen from Inamura so far in pre-season. Its early days yet but he looks like he could be just what we need as cover for Tierney at left back for the season.

    KT overlapping Maeda will rip any defence apart, Inamura has been surprisingly good but zero chance he starts over KT unless he’s getting a rest.

    I think the good side of it is that we may actually have a dependable back up so we can rotate him and KT more often to keep him fit.

    Yeah agreed, it's important we play it safe with KT to keep him fit. No reason why Inamura couldn't play 20 games or so across the season.

    Worth bearing in mind he was half way through the season in Japan so is much more sharp than any of the players he's played against so far. We saw against Newcastle how much that can affect players

    Exactly why maeda must start as our striker. Why then would we want maeda edge of the box as the ball gets whipped in. Need to have a technically creative player out wide who can produce from the edge of the box
