Kyogo Furuhashi - on final striker shortlist

[richards30]

There has to be a youth player who we can promote. He’s hardly great, not at that price. Scoring goals in Scotland doesn’t equate quality. With a decent ref he’d struggle.

It would have been Delap i imagine but he had already gone when the huge offer came in for Alvarez? The next gen arent ready yet and we want someone who is prepared to sit on the bench, play cup games and be a squad player?

 

[Kippax Street 1880]

He would want to play though?

I mean if its the last week of the window I'm sure he'd rather sit on our bench than train with Chelsea's youth team. Would let us rest Haaland for the cups without changing the system and give us a big physical option from the bench.

Henrik Larsson moved to Barca from Celtic aged 33 and won a champions league. Then had a half decent loan spell at the rags after he’d moved back to Sweden age 36/37.

yea and this guy moved from feyenoord and not from japan which league level could be compared to sunday league if not lower

Is Mario still playing?

 

[Xhavenjoe]

He suits our game. And it would be such a boost for our fanbase in Japan.

But what about the fanny base on bluemoon?

Super, I hear

I really like him. I think people are judging him solely on the fact he plays in the SPL, which isn't entirely unfair, but isn't giving anyone an accurate read on the player.

Short, very quick, low centre of gravity, excellent movement, strikes the ball cleanly with either foot, can finish near and far post, likes to take his shots quickly even when in space and/or one on one. Stylistically reminds me of Agüero and Romário. Obviously not as good as either, but I think he could surprise a few on here and could even match or outdo Álvarez's imput from last year (if given the game time).

Would be much bigger wages as well mate? I get what you`re saying but i think its a headache seemingly the club are avoiding at this time, same with Toney, he would be my choice to be honest but again, with his character he may become a pain when not playing?

Yeah I'm envisaging one of those Barcelona/Italian club like loan deals where they are just so desperate to fuck him off we end up with a real bargain. Something like a 5 million loan fee and 50% of his wages. Probably won't happen but I'd rather have a proven PL and CL player as a stopgap if possible. Haven't seen much of the Japanese lad but it's a huge step up from SPL to the top of the Premier League.

 

[Phil1]

I’d take him over lukaku even if he came for free and only wanted 50 quid a week.

 

[Blue_Lightsaber]

Honestly, I'd rather take Lukaku on loan for a season. He scores shitloads for Belgium, him and Kev have a great connection.

Did you have a stroke?

Last time we signed a "premier league proven" striker

That's all the endorsement I need, count me in then!

 

[RayCTID]

Profile in Japan would go through the roof as well?

Not a bad idea as well.

 

[mattcity5]

Fair enough but is he good enough to step up to our team when called upon. Not being funny but there's a huge difference in quality of the SPL and EPL.

He would also have better players on his side also.

It's hard to find players who suit how we play. There are 'Prem tested' players who play in teams who rarely get over 50% possession and are reliant on chasing long aimless through balls.

I'm not saying Celtic are as good as us, and the opposition are clearly weaker than we face, but he is used to playing for a team who easily get the majority of possession, come up against packed defences, and need to win each week.

There's quite a lot to like about this as a move. I'd offer more like £15m though.....

 

[Barcon]

O.k, I can’t hold back anymore.

Furrry Gashi.

 

[Kippax Street 1880]

Did you have a stroke?

85 goals in 119 internationals
302 club goals

But yeah he's shite won't offer anything, better spend 25 million on a 29 year old who cant start for Japan and plays in one of the worst professional leagues in Europe.
