2021- K.Furuhashi | 2022- R.Hatate | T. Iwata 2023 | D.Maeda | 2023- Y.Kobayashi @ Celtic F.C. (SCO)

Furuhashi scored in an 4-3 victory vs Man City.

 

And Furuhashi scored also against Chelsea. Celtic is leading 2-0 at the Moment.

Furuhashi need to change the Team. He can score goals in the CL, he can score against big teams and he can score around 20-30 goals a season. He is ready.

 

Incredible pre-season for Celtic. And what a player, also. Ten years ago he would have been a boss in the JNT. That tells the level we reached nowadays, sadly for him.

 

100% agree. But on the other side, its cause of Moriyasu I would say.

By the way Kyogo scored 6 pre season goals till now. Only in 1 game he didnt score. Great player.

 

Leicester City want to sign Reo Hatate.

 

Reo scored Celtic's first goal of the new season against Kilmarnock.

 

And an assist for Furuhashi.

 

Rodgers spoke so highly of reo after the match, he's so good and such fun to watch. If he wasn't injured last season he'd no doubt be attracting a lot of attention from more clubs, I know Leicester have been interested.

BTW celtic haven't lost a game since he came back from injury last season.

 

Kyogo is injured, so Maeda started as a striker in the League Cup against Hibs. Scored early.

 

2 now

 

Kyogo is out for 4 months

 

No , you missunderstood it. He is only out for around 4 months when he go under surgery, but he refused it till now.

His actually injury is only a day/precautions thing after Rogers. He said he was able to play in the cup but they dont want to risk him, cause he should play in the league.

So looks like everything is "okay".

 

So he will play all season with the injury?

 

After Kyogo and Rodgers,he has these injury since J-League days.

Its nothing really serious but the thing is, he will have here and there again and again some shoulder problems and will miss here and there a game.

But surgery cost him at least a bunch of months. And I think he is fine with some maybe shoulder problems.

 

Okey I see, lets hope it doesnt get worse.

 

Man city wants Kyogo now
And Leicester wants Hatate

Interesting but unlikely i feel.

 

The man city reports are very real. Pep is apparently a big fan.

I think Kyogo would go.

 

He should go, Kyogo has nothing more to prove or win in Celtic. Take this chance.

 

Would be a perfect fit.

It looks like its getting real. After sources Kyogo said, he have no problems to be the No.2 behind Haaland ( which is very very likely). And also after sources, they are already talking.

He should replace Alvarez. Furuhashi would get nontheless enough playing time due to rotation or here or there a game cause Haaland is often injured.

I would say go for it with full force.

 

The only problem is his shoulder. And to be the backup striker, you have to be healthy.

 

Yeah to be fair, maybe thats the point at the end.
It seems, they are only 2 strikers in the Shortlist. Furuhashi and another one.

 

This is madness. Kyogo to City while under injury? I know he can play but I bet City can't face a season like this (EPL + FA Cup + Community Shield + UCL + Club WC) with a Celtic FW as the only sub for Halaand.

 

Yuki Kobayashi rumored to be moving to Portimonese

 

City will likely only buy 1 more FW as the Alvarez replacment. City confirmed that they eying only 2 players for this spot. Furuhashi + another unamed FW. So no matter who will come its only 2 FWs.

Of course they have theoretical other players who can also play FW but normaly City have only Haaland and a No. 2 which was Alvarez (Furuhashi).

Alvarez of course could play more positions like Furuhashi.

Lets wait and see. Hope its not like the Kubo/Liverpool rumour. But this time after sources they are already real talks and it looks like it can happen in the next days. Would love when this happens.

 

After Pep, City dont want to buy any new player. So maybe it doesnt happen.

By they way good news on Kyogo, he is fully fit and can play in the next game.
