Furuhashi first-hand experience

308
By on CQN BLOG & Comments

Whereas yesterday’s signing, 19-year-old Liel Abada, will mostly be known to Ange Postecoglou and scouts through the medium of video, the manager knows today’s capture, Japanese forward, Kyogo Furuhashi from first-hand experience.

There will be challenges for Kyogo to settle so far from home.  The sheer professionalism of our first Japanese player, Shunsuke Nakamura, ensured his star would always shine, but Shunsuke relied on interpreters for pretty much everything until Celtic signed compatriot, Koki Mizuno three years later.  Ange will not need you or me to tell him it is better to bring players from so far away into the Celtic Ark in pairs.

When Ange joined, we hoped he would return to the Japanese market for talent the European market found too difficult to uncover.  There will be value there the likes of that guy from Bournemouth would never be aware of, let’s make the most of it, bring Kyogo some company.

We are four days away from a Champions League qualifier in a 60,000-seater stadium while the Scottish Government and Glasgow City Council ponder the criteria the former want for the latter to approve more than 2,000 fans to attend.  There is no actual reason to delay or refuse, they just don’t want to approve Celtic’s request without handing a simultaneous prize across the city.  This is Scotland in 2021.

    The injury time in the Artmedia game at CP was laughable, I think Beattie missed a great chance late on

    From where I was sitting it was GREETABLE :O(

    What a smashing day. My brother, a really top man, has not had his troubles to seek of late and today fair raised his level of happiness.So thanks to all concerned but particularly to Big Jimmy and Davis 66 for making it happen. I am sure there will be other meetings of the same ilk.

     

    Cheerio for now.

    Talking of right backs

     

     

    Lee O’connor

     

     

    Alot of Manchester United fans were disappointed this boy was leaving to join us.

     

     

    What has went so wrong? Is he simply not close to our level?

    Seemingly NL has been bumping his gums to the DR tonight about AP getting a shock regarding the nature of Scottish football.

     

     

    Not sure if this is a throwaway comment turned into an article or a full blown sit down interview covering everything from Brexit to renewable energy but no matter — either way NL should have kept his big gub shut.

     

     

    AP has done more on the training pitch in the past couple of weeks than he managed to achieve in his 7 years with us so a period of dignified silence would have been appreciated.

     

     

    NL running to the papers so quickly just shows you how small he has become.

     

    He surely doesn’t need the money so why this great desire to get his face in the papers?

     

     

    Somebody really needs to have a word with him.

    Sadly, not surprised. Good player, good manager – never really a Celt in his heart. Oh well, don’t hate him, but remember the good things he achieved.

    Is it just me or are we making more signings, and signing players sooner, than previous seasons?

     

     

    Ange and Dom seem to be aware of the challenge we are facing and are up for it.

     

     

    I just hope the quality of the players matches the enthusiasm of the new boys

    Need some advice on what to doo next.

     

    Neighbour leaves a tray of bird seed out on the adjacent garden lawn. Pigeons, crows, squirrels et al come and feed there. Whenever I’m out watering my garden the pigeons et al fly/scarper away and a squabbling (baby pigeon) that has been hiding in my garden bush for the past couple of days marches out bold as brass alongside me and proceeds directly to the now vacant feeding tray.

     

    The pigeons et al get used to my presence and slowly return none to pleased at squabbling and start attacking. Squabbling takes the hits until returning to bush. Crows don’t follow because I’m there.

     

    Do I intervene (maybe give the squabbling to a pigeon keeper) or let nature takes its course?

    Hot smoked – God bless to you and Frank (if I was talking pash it was Jimmy’s fault)😂 loved every minute of today.

     

     

    Special mention to my old mate Drew1967. His mum who worked in the pools office was a diamond and ps….Drew was no a bad footy player of course I used to carry him..

     

     

    Big Jimmy – Well, my old mucker is a diamond he put up with my shit all day.

    Is Neil Lennon not allowed to talk about the nature of scottish football? I think he has already gave Ange a personal insight. He probably explained to the big man that he will be treated slightly differently to himself due to background. He probably told him about the meltdown, personal abuse etc for not winning the 10! But hey what gives him the right to open his mouth. Pathetic HH

    I took my youngest son to the artmedia game. After the match I took him round to the main entrance and waited for the platform autographs. BBJ was more than obliging but was upset he was only a sub in the game. As the Artmedia players came out, Celtic fans applauded their team for progressing, myself and my son included. On seeing this the Artmedia manager looked around in admiration then came over to my son and preset him with a size 2 Artmedia ball. Classy I thought

    Hope the jars went down well lads ☺ probably disagreements about all things Celtic but in the end we are all in it together. If we could have virtual pints on cqn to be sure we would all get on better HH

    You make solid points and I agree with your sentiments.

     

     

    All I would say, without wishing to pour cold water over our preparations, is that we must be taking a medium, rather than short-term view.

     

     

    Looking at the squads in recent friendlies, surely there is not enough to derail the Danes. We will ‘bed in’ the new acquisitions over time, but are we really expecting to mount an early, or, sustained challenge against a settled and strengthened Ibrox squad.

     

     

    I am content that after a prolonged period of success and a disaster last season, to give our club & new men, Dom & Ange, time to build – I suspect many won’t.

     

     

    Who knows we may hit the ground running and surprise everyone – I can’t see it, but we can hope….and pray!

    JHB, since your talking sense, push the boat out and post a song or dare I say it, tune :-)

    Maybe, just maybe, NFL gave a straightforward answer to a duplicitous question.

    Neil Lennon was on Talksport for an hour today, from 12pm – 1pm, with both Jim White who he has known for a long time, twenty years I reckon, and appears to be good friends with, and Simon Jordan who he also seems to get along with, and vice versa. As such Jim White was not trying to get a story for the Daily Record, they took an edited reply to suit, no, he was trying to elicit Neil’s opinion on a number of matters, including but not only his view on how Celtic’s season was likely to pan out under Ange. A lot closer than last season was Neil’s general response, and that Ange brought a lot of experience with him, but would face different challenges at Celtic than he had elsewhere. Did not speak favourably about the Green Brigade. He also informed us that he had played Turnberry the previous day, but was not asked about Donald Trump. Gave his opinions on Scottish football, would be more interesting with two Dundee teams, Hearts and Hibs, new man at Aberdeen etc. Was mildly critical of Southgate bringing subs on to take penalties in the final, and dismissed England’s chances in the World Cup next year, wasn’t sure about Patrick Viera at Palace, or Benitez at Everton, but liked Nuno going to Spurs. Thought that Scotland was producing some very good players, or providing a route for them in Tierney, Robertson, McGinn and also Van Dyke. Whatever his faults, he is very knowledgeable about football North and South, and is likely to be found on the likes of Radio 5 next season, and like Gordon Strachan will always be supportive of Celtic FC. Nothing he said on Talksport would disprove that, despite the selective hearing of Daily Record editors. Might not always agree with him but Neil is always worth a listen.
