Mentioned to a mate that I thought Hatate was at last showing his class in the last couple of games and he suggested it was because he was putting himself in the 'shop windae'. Does anyone else agree?

No I definitely don’t think Hatate or even Maeda have that mindset, it’s their agents I’d be worried about, that would!

I'm not sure how many clubs are looking at him. He's completely marmite for me and if we get a crazy offer I'd sell but on his game I'd hate to lose him. BR needs to get him consistent.

Our last 2 opponents have been poor so tricky to judge if Hatate is coming on to a game. See how he fares at the Debt Dome in 2 weeks. That's a better barometer.
That aside, I'd punt him if a decent offer came in.

I like to enjoy a Celtic player playing well without becoming negative and think he is playing well for a move .
We have no way of knowing what is going on in any players minds but if he can give us exceptionally good performance we need to show our appreciation and if given a chance encourage him to stay .
I wonder has Kyogo leaving has had opposite effects on 2 players . Khun has struggled, maybe Kyogo’s off the ball movement was picked up easily by Kuhn . On the other hand maybe Hatate always used Kyogo’s movement to create space to play ball in and he released the ball so quickly he didn’t have to look, with Kyogo gone it has taken Hatate a number of games to find a good area to play his quick instinctive pass to good affect.
