Daizen Maeda

Agreed Pad..

He'll get loads of joy for us. It may just be because he's that quick that he can look like he hasn't got it all under control in some of the reels but then at other time's he looks spot on..

 

Maeda expected in Glasgow tonight? Something I've heard, anyone else heard the same?

Be great to get some deals in place early on and get players bedded in quickly before the huns game.

 

Surely not, the window isn't even open yet.

 

I thought that, but didn't Barca sign Torres from City today?

 

I'd imagine you could have everything in place agreement between players and clubs etc but need to wait to make it official on the 1st.

Didn't know that about Torres.

 

Aye you can sign anyone any time put paper work in but registration can’t shift until fifa TMS opens 00:01 on 1/1/22

 

Window isn't even open yet and I'm starting to get concerned that we haven't already announced these guys

 

Sorry but we have enough cover at left back, that’s a fact.

Now that you have introduced the midfield area we can have a discussion, only Cal Mac has the leg and the engine out of all our midfielders.

We never replaced Christie with his pace and workload and severely lacking, hence why our manager is going for midfielders and has seen what we need at the club as he works daily with them.

We don’t have any legs in the middle of the park which is a major issue braking down teams which is more of a priority than sorting a left back.

 

We have loads of left backs of similar quality, which isn't good enough.

Starfelt and pick a random left back to start, are the weak links in our starting XI by some distance.

 

Remembering back to my initial post I picked out 5 players to sign before saying ideally a left back!

Two were midfielders both being guys with good energy and preferably capable of playing box to box. Two wingers as we again have a number of bodies but most have injury issues and others are young and untried and a forward as Ajeti has proved he can’t fit the system and Giakoumakis hasn’t managed to hit the ground running either.

There is a fact we have plenty of bodies who can play left back but going with facts the guy who has played there most this season is our starting right back, Taylor in his time at the club has never been able to play 3 games in a week without looking like he is struggling and Scales has only just played a handful of games for us. As mentioned before Montgomery is nowhere near the required level to be considered an option and Boli is desperately trying to be punted.

I know and even said so myself that there are more pressing positions to fill quite a few of them but if not this window in the summer I think we could do with a starting left back.

 

Hard to argue with that.

Translated to English thats the most promising and concrete news I've seen so far, looking good.

2m.. * steal for a league top scorer.

 

Loan part is weird. All I can hope is that we're saving cash for Carter-Vickers or Jota

Excellent news. Cannae wait to see Maeda, Hatate, Ideguchi, Calmac, Jota, Abada and Wolf absolutely harassing and ripping the * out of every midfield and defence in the country.

Someone get that Norad J league flight tracker on the go.

 

This is the guy I wanted most out of the 3 Japanese players so I’m happy!

 

Good stuff..

Deffo saving cash for elsewhere..

It's Ange's old club and player so maybe a bit of goodwill in the bank..
