Celtic and Postecoglou busy on the transfer front! - 0762 - 17-07-2021

And the most intriguing signing is this 26 year old Japanese striker, Kyogo Furuhashi, who looks like he'll score lotsa goals in the Scot Prem. No doubt, more players coming in while guys like Ajer on their way out. In Ajer's case it looks like he's off to Brentford AFC in a £3.5M move.

13.5 million apparently !!
By all accounts Kyogo is regarded as one of the best of the J- League players but you don't tend to see many Japanese players making it in the UK, so no doubt its a risky one.

So that'll be a tidy £13.5M sum to add to Postecoglou's transfer kitty plus a more ready money poss available to use if Christie is transferred out which looks likely.

Who would've guessed it eh!!? It looks like Ange's team rebuild is coming together nicely and Mackay doing sterling work on the transfer front - not ended yet btw! Looks like the imminent arrival of Scales (this will be a shrewd signing of a potentially vg young defender) from Shamrock Rovers plus the already signed Josip Juranovic will really strengthen the manager's hand for the challenges ahead.

You can see what he's aiming for. An expansive style of football that looks great middle to front but looks like they could be "got at" defensively. I think losing goals is sort of priced in to what he's doing - its a "we will score more than you" type football, but it could come a cropper away from the confines of celtic park and when the winter and injuries kick in.
He obviously a decent coach, but early days yet.

Palace,Everton and Rubin Kazan all in for Edouard. Palace have put in a bid of 15 mill for him.
Looks like he might be away this window. Celtic have some greek striker lined up to come in.

Georgios Giakoumakis, the Eredivisie top goal scorer last season. I think he scored 26 goals, but it didn't save VVV-Venlo from being relegated.
