Reo Hatate

What happened with Daizen indicating he'd like to sign a new contract. Bullshit I assume

 

Why would you assume that? He thoroughly deserves a new deal if he’s still here by the end of the window, no? He’s in a strong position whereby he knows there could be firm interest in him this summer, but won’t be devastated if it comes to nothing.

As I said, it’s not a dissimilar situation, as neither player is kicking the door down or likely to throw toys out the pram.

 

You said he told the club he wanted to sign a new deal. He hasn't. I assume it was alot of * and hes not wanting to sign one at all

 

Since he told the club he was willing to negotiate a new deal, has he even spent a week in Glasgow?

I’d be surprised if he signed a new deal in the next month. It’s not a particularly quick process at the best of times, never mind when agents are busy focusing on transfers.

 

You're very much trying to cover all bases now I see just in case he leaves or stays

 

Running about telling the club he’ll be away if an offer comes in

 

I’d like to apologise @McGrory1888 you were right after all

 

Was there not some noise about him moving last summer? Really not surprised if this is a goer, and as much as I want him to retire here I think Maeda will be waiting to see what his options are as well, even if we have slapped a massive new deal in front of him, they've done it all here the last few years and just might not fancy another season in scotland.

 

The press would have picked up on it


If it came from a legitimate source

 

End up leaving in the last week of the window and we'll have no time to replace him.

 

Really hope that the club have done their scouting in preparation for him leaving and we have 4 or 5 players similar to Hatate's traits. He's frustrating but we would miss Hatate a lot more than people realize

 

Really don’t want him to leave but if he is to go, it has to be for £10m-£12m minimum.

 

you're joking right? it would need to be much more than that. No one else in the team brings what he does.

 

Not sure there is anything in the Porto link they seem to have a decent number of midfield options and just spent a fair bit on an attacking midfielder. Unless they are likely to lose any of their big players, they may be struggling a bit financially to pay decent money too.

Although the guy from Brazil largely seems to have posted stories that have some truth to them or are at least in line with other reports. Time will tell with this one.
