I hope this one isn't true especially if Kane leaves. The ones who score bucket loads in the Scottish league never replicate it in the Prem. He looks ok but I dont think he will cut it in this league.

Knowing Levy, I think he's casting an eye to the Japan market next, knowing how well Ange can spot a talent or two there and expand our presence there like how we did in South Korea.

Wouldn't be opposed to that really, there's some good talent in Japan and I like their high energy approach to the game.
Don't know anything about this lad really though, so can't say whether he'd be worth a punt.or not.

There's some cracking Japanese youngsters coming through, so fingers crossed we pick up a couple of gems.

The Celtic lad seems to be their star player, so maybe he's one of those players that can bridge the SPL/EPL gap. Certainly works hard and looks like he has quality.

Does AP have a habit of substituting his strikers towards the end of games? It seems like his demands for that position involve a lot of running… if so then I think we would need at least three if not four players capable of playing as a 9, which would make this feel more sensible.

Gary Hooper scored 63 in 95 appearances for Celtic. Im not saying every player wont make it but I think we should be targetting players in more competitive leagues.

If we are looking at Japanese players, we should be all in for Daichi Kamada. Free Agent and would add a lot of creativity to the team.

I have not seen him play. Assume you have? If so, what’s the difference between them vs Mitoma at Brighton? The latter has taken to the PL like a duck to water. So, I am just curious about the gap between him and Mitoma? I knew f all about Mitoma before he started playing for the Seagulls. He’s been excellent. Guessing this other chap is nowhere close to Mitoma then?

Funnily enough I was reading up on him the other day and seeing what Celtic fans thought of him as I presumed we would be linked and now we are!

From Celtic fans - He is quick, very tenacious and presses well - although they say he doesnt really make loads of tackles but he pressures defenders into making mistakes. Their thoughts were that he is very good but would probably struggle in the prem. One said they thought he would get around 10 goals rather than be a 20+ goals a season striker. He would need a lot of service apparently and one person said they see him being more of a super sub (chicarito type) than someone that would lead the line in the prem.

Im no expert and never seen him outside of youtube but the above was useful to read.

Gets into great positions regularly, but should probably convert more chances, possibly worth the gamble and Ange should know either way.

Need to stop scoffing at certain markets.

Football is significantly improving in many countries and that means more talent comes through.

Brighton have the South American market and they themselves picked up Mitoma.

We looked at Min Jae a lot and he's gone onto become a superb CB.

Kvarastkhelia too and other Georgian players coming through.

Hopefully we can start to tap into some of these as well as young British talent.

Id sign a quality CB and GK and then look to these markets

Also, even if he was second choice to Slot, I think that it's clear to me there has been a plan in place of what coach weve been going for.

Slot and Postecoglou are 2 very similar coaches in the way they approach a game of football. Attack attack attack with a strong character behind it.

The fact it was a matter of days between Slot confirming he was staying at Feyenoord and Postecoglou agreeing, tells you that there was an order and this was not like 2021.

I honestly have no idea what that plan was.

So despite people panicking and getting very down about things, I do think there has been a very measured approach this time.

In my head, your name is actually Ross, so I'm going to run with it. Another sensible and informative couple of posts from you. Your postings always bring a much needed bit of sanity to the place. Thanks, Ross :LOL:
