    It all reels back to the fact that we are scouting guys who clearly don't suit our system. The whole thing need reviewing.
    He's okay but most of us called exactly what type of player he would be from his highlights. We don't need that type of player here. Laughable really

    Cannot comprehend that we chased this guys for two seasons.

    Our transfer strategy might generate profit but in terms of finding the very best we can get, expensive or bargain, it's failing miserably. That team we played last night are clearly operating on a whole different level, from top to bottom.

    Just makes it more frustrating when we have the resource to outspend them. If only we had a clued up transfer strategy and would back it properly

    He might even be ok in his own right but come on..

    5 mill, chased for ages and an attacking player. You're hoping for way more than he brings. There's no excitement and I get he may no be a bums off seat type player but still, some sort of bounce to start off with..

    There's just nothing really to get behind whenever be comes on..

    He is an attempt at Maeda’s replacement, stat wise off the ball, press, work rate wise we tried to match someone similar. Had some ok attacking wise stats but w thought Maeda was definitely leaving and we tried to get in what he brings off the ball.

    Which is * stupid, we absolutely cannot get somebody who can bring what Maeda does in that respect, we can’t attempt a poor mimicry of it. And its ignoring that Maeda doesn’t bring just that alone, even before he went mental scoring 31 last season.

    Everycunt when Maeda leaving prospect came up said he brings something irreplaceable. So don’t try and replace that bit that is close to impossible to do. Maeda LW last season if he left, then you go to a Jota. Doesn’t replace that off the ball Daizen, but he shafts him for other qualities and a different approach.


    We’ve clearly tried to find a poor attempt of another Maeda

    I've no hope for him tbh. His Celtic career could be finished before it's even began.

    2 years we chased this guy, 2 * years.

    I agree with everyone about him here but thought Thursday wasn’t a game that seals that like it seems to have been, think it showed where he has his uses and should have been on earlier.

    But that is definitely not saying 2 years chasing, £5m outlay spent on him is anywhere near worth they ‘uses’

    We’re so infuriating with how we spend. We usually don’t and when we do… * why?
