Kyogo Furuhashi - on final striker shortlist

[jrb]

Since joining the Scottish Premiership champions in the summer of 2021, the 29-year-old has scored a staggering 73 goals in 135 appearances. He's also provided 16 assists in that time.

He' really really Big in Japan, easy to recoup his fee

 

[Lord Blue]

seems a decent enough player but do we really not have an academy prospect or even a false 9 type plan

Especially as Yokohama is in CFG

I think this would be a great bit of business for us if it happens. He is an excellent goal scorer, won’t cost a crazy amount and will not be expecting to come in and be a starter every week. I was expecting Spurs to sign him when Big Ange took over and I am surprised they haven’t tried.

Peak age for him, no doubt decent pay rise and a chance to win the premier and play with the likes of Haaland, KDB etc?

and quite possibly to get to play in on of CFG clubs

What's the SPL equal to, League 2 maybe?

Can't say City don't do forward planning!

£25M?? That is insane.

He joined Celtic for £4.5M 3 seasons ago at age 26.

He performed well scored a lot but he gets shoulder injury problems and will be 30 by January. Transfermarkt valued him at 14M euros.

Spurs tried to sign him in 2023 and the price they talked about was around £16m. Spurs still felt it was a bit more than ideal. No way we are going to pay significantly more when he gets more injury and grows older.

For a reference Danny Ings joined West Ham at 30 years old for £12M + 3M add ons. Home grow. Liverpool on the resume. Plenty PL experiences. Although it did not work well at West Ham it is the market value of a back up striker around 30.

Ok Txiki ;)

Really good off the ball , good at scoring low xG shots.

I like him. If he’s happy to be the number 2 then I don’t mind it. Think he scored a couple of UCL goals too.
