    Feel really sorry for him. Clearly something is going on which is leading to him bombed out. This is a young lad's career that's being exploited to make a point.

    Inamura has proven he’s good enough. Rodgers having an absolute stinker here just cos he doesn’t want to prove the club and their scouts right about finding a player!! He keeps saying HE wants a new left back in to rotate with KT. We have one!!:31:

    Struggling to see why we signed him. Ridiculous that he’s not even making the bench.

    Think he'd need a loan anyway but we can't be sure unless we actually play him in a competitive game.

    He’s an executive signing to sell shirts in Japan.

    clearly not a BR signing.

    Yeah pointless signing, better off with your 5th choice CB being youth or a punt from within Scotland. Obviously viewed as not even good enough to be Tierney back up.

    Rodgers is going to damage someone's career and potentially our season just to make a point to the board.

    Stinks of Rodgers’ ego.

    Or he's just a bit *. The fee wasted on him could have been used to spend a bit more on our main targets and get them in earlier.

    Did you watch our pre-season games? He was an obvious highlight, and he cost us less than 500k so I don't know how you could think his fee would impact any other business.

    Genuinely believing now that he's been given a few weeks off.
    Half way through the Japanese season when he came, if we don't give him a break now he would play a season and a half and burn kit come new year.

    Nothing else makes sense for him to be completely bombed out of the side, more so in a rotational squad like tonight.

    And add to the fact scales is not a left back. The one sub we’ve made every game is KT….perfect for Inamura to rotate for the last 30/20 minutes

    Exactly. Two strikers on the bench is not overly needed and again for a game like tonight, he should have found himself on the bench surely.

    It's mad politics by Rodgers or inamura has been given a break.

    Businesses, which Celtic are, have budgets and 500k plus his wages could affect our window.

    If it is just Rodgers playing politics, I'm actually not that fussed. The window has been terrible and he needs to make a point. If this guy needs to be sacrificed for the good of the club so be it.

    The good of the club? You’re having a laugh.

    Rodgers made his point in saying the only striker he wanted was idah when we signed him. Rodgers can’t see a player….our scouts can.

    the only one who suffers with Rodgers making a point is us and the club. Inamura is an absolute steal at 500k. Rodgers would no doubt buy Luke Thomas from Leicester for £10mil if he could and he’d be *

    Rodgers wants a better option, and if he’s half decent that won’t happen. And I mean half decent, Rodgers and the style of Lb’s linked doesn’t want that. He wants a young guy to learn as Tierneys back up with high potential.

    Kuhn was also Rodgers btw. People stopped bringing that up as one of his after the first 6 months when making this point.

    I agree with you right enough, he hasn’t got the best record. First time though the fullback for £7m he wanted was Castagne. Which would have been a great signing.

    Idah honestly I’m sure it was him testing the board if they were actually backing him. He does clearly rate him as well, but it was are you backing me? Then get him. He let that be known as well for Norwich to keep adding another million on. If he went and watched Miovski play or that, like he wanted him, Idah would have been £6m odd

    You’re right Kuhn was, but across most of Rodgers teams it’s few and far between. Compared to players our scouting network find. My point is Rodgers needs to trust them. Cos they got it wrong with nawrocki, lagerbielke etc. in his eyes he doesn’t wanna know. Yet look at lagerbiellke, played every game for braga at right back since joining? Not even his position. And even Nawrocki, was fine every time he played! Feel like he makes his mind up and doesn’t allow it to be changed.

    if Inamura doesn’t get a good loan to a team within our own division we’ll be ruining his career before it’s even started. He 100% is capable of Tierneys rotation. And if anything from what we’ve seen would be capable of keeping possession in the middle of park a bit more and being more conservative if we’re already a few up.

    It would be a huge shame if he was finished before he even started here.

    I thought he looked absolutely superb in pre-season, composure and technique for days. Still to see plenty other aspects of his game but he was a breath of fresh air for me.
