    He wasn’t on the bench. Might be a while before we see him, if ever.

    Aye it’s an unusual one but he cost relative peanuts so it’s low risk. Hope he does well.

    Rodgers has said....

    Inamura will be assessed during pre-season as Celtic "see where he's at as a young player and then it's whether he stays with the squad or whether he has to go out on loan".

    Sensible... There's a player there, but gotta see if we can get him to the point we need...

    Still think this is a low-cost, low-risk transfer, with a good chance of coming through for us in time

    Might be a good signing but I'm nit going to get excited as we really need some quality at centre back and right now he doesn't displace Scales or Trusty.

    Can't work out if he's a replacement for Lager or for Rocky.

    I don’t think he is either, the J League journalist is probably closer to why we have done it.

    We can get Inamura for very little and he has some attributes we like, he is very cheap on fee and wages will be minimal, likely at the same rate as a youth player. There is a chance he becomes a player, a low one, but still a chance, so we sign him, try put him out on loan and see if he can become a decent player.

    I don’t think this ends well for Inamura or he is one we should do this with but it’s essentially like signing boys like Milan Musan, Twarzdik brothers and a host of others over the years.

    So pretty much the same as Lager and Rocky then. Stephen Welsh has already played at a higher level than him and most people think he's nowhere near good enough.

    kwon was a £1m and never got a game since he signed 2 year ago probably another small fortune in wages

    i think id rather they never publicised these deals i feel they are hoodwinking us about cover defensively at center back and left back

    wonder if the whole thing is about keeping the japanese thinking of us

    Curious to see what level of club this guy ends up on loan to.
