Daizen Maeda

Brentford would be a bad move for Maeda. That club is closing up shop and heading back to the championship.

 

Aye but not with the state the teams currently in.

Yang, Idah & Forrest. What an absolute state that would be.

 

You could argue that £25M(if that is indeed accurate) is on the cheap side. Ben Doak is apparently valued at £25M down there these days. Brentford are looking at the best part of £120M if they sell Mbeumo and Wissa. Let them spend some of it if they want one of our most important players.

 

Bit more respect for Jamsie Eh? He's been a fantastic player for us and was playing well again towards the end of last season.

 

Suddenly the Yamada signing makes sense.......

 

Tragic

 

Mind last season BR daid5 can't play 90mins? He's an impact player from the bench. Horrendous if he's a starter

 

Always likely given contract situation.

Board rarely let players get into last 2 years of their deal.

He'd be more valuable to us if we kept him another year, particularly with the boards refusal to back an outgoing manager, but board don't see it that way and only want as much cash in the bank as they can get

 

Hes also rumoured to have said he wants to go as well. Daizen that is

 

Really * grinds my gears the board have set this £25 mil marker as what we accept at most. Start high and let them bid down! If Ben doak is worth £25 mil then Maeda shouldn’t leave for anything less than £30mil. I’d want £35 mil honestly but let the clubs wanting him bid it out! £25 mil these days gets you * all really to replace him

 

He’s also said in interviews he’s happy here

 

Would contradict quote's he made to Japanese media last month but suppose that's football. Ange taught us never to trust what anyone says

 

Don't think the board have been in touch with teamtalk, whoever the * they are, to let them know £25m is the price, they've just pulled it out of the air based on our recent big fees.

 

Yep, means any club wanting our players no the magic figure. We are as * at negotiating sales as we are purchases

 

Do you get any enjoyment out of supporting Celtic

 

I think in this case, its clear we dont want to sell Maeda. But if he doesnt sign a new deal there wont be much of a choice.

Brentford would be a disaster of a move. Dont get the appeal for him. Lost their manager and replaced him with a rookie who was their set piece coach. And selling off their squad. Mbuemo gone, Flekken gone, Norgard gone, Wissa on the way out. Smells of a club checking out and preparing for the championship.

 

* off

 

There isn't a single player who isn't for sale if the player is willing and our valuation is met. It's been like that since MON left.
