gannonball Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 Didn’t realise Dundee had an option to bin Griffiths in January. He’s actually managed to get less fit judging by his pop belly on Sportscene. Would imagine a pay off and a championship team awaits him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still can’t believe we gave him a new contract at the start of the season. Even if it was only for a season 31 and still unfit, the guy never took the professional side of being a professional footballer seriously Even Lennon would criticise his fitness 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Terrapin Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 Think theres a real risk of Celtic's signing policy biting them on the arse and I sincerely hope it does. May start off well but there will be a clique in that dressing room and other players will resent their presence. Recipe for disaster. lovely 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G51 Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 One thing that should be observed: buying loads of foreign players from a league because your manager worked their once and you once signed a player from that league who was decent is extremely good process with a very high success rate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyogo however seems to want to be part of the team/bench even when injured and still learning the language. He will still be our talisman so can only bode well for us really.

It’s bad process though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greenlantern Posted January 4, 2022 Author Share Posted January 4, 2022 It’ll be very interesting to see how quickly the new Japanese boys adapt (if at all) to scottish fitba. If indeed they start as brightly as Kyogo has done since his move you have to then wonder the mentality of some of our other fringe players, those that can’t quite keep their place in the first team. Some have that ability to perform and progress at another level, sadly others don’t. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve done a bit of reading on Japanese football over time via 442 and this is the biggest scale that a European team have brought in Japanese players ever. Teams in Albania, Portugal and Finland have had 3 before but even then they were not all regulars in the first team. Obviously bringing in 4 at once has its advantages as the players will feel less isolated and given that the 3 recent signings have known for some time they are moving to Celtic, you’d hope they have already learned some English - the basics anyway. I’d also expect given their ages, they are coming to be part of the first team and will play regularly which will also help as if their football is going well you’d expect them to settle in quicker as ultimately that’s why they are here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn’t aware it was a first in terms of volume of players at once. We’ll soon see if this bold move is beneficial for both club and players. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, Sint-Truden in Belgium have a high turnover Japanese players but are owned by a Japanese company and their clubs policy has been built on integrating Japanese and Belgium cultures for a number of years. I’m a bit of a bore with this stuff but if you ever have time, it’s quite an interesting read. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
