I was reading an article in which it said our Directors were willing to let Hatate go for a decent sum, and then replace him with Lennon Miller.
I would imagine we would get £10m+ for our Japanese midfielder but then Miller would probably cost as much also.
If this happens, is Lennon Miller an upgrade on Hatate even at £10m.

Would think miller wouldn't be any more than 4 or 5m Tim.

Hatate has been a terrific talent, but so frustrating IMO, as he only produces the 'magic' in fits and starts and has a lot of quiet games. I have heard a lot of great reports about Miller, but I don't know if he has the flair and spark of genius Hatate is capable of?

I can see Hatate leaving in the summer and TBH, I don't think he's been the same player since he was previously linked with leaving us in a previous summer window.
Lennon Miller is never £10M but regardless of the numbers being guessed at, I think he could be developed into a very good player.
I'd still like to see a seasoned CDM signed in the summer, someone who can come in, particularly in Europe, and enable the others around him to play.
Just my tuppence worth.

I think Hatate is worth two Lennons.

I don’t. think many writers of articles know what our Directors are thinking of doing. It would seem strange that Lennon Millar would be seen by anyone as a replacement for Hatate . Hatate is a very expansive player more often trying to switch the area and direction of play whilst Lennon Milllar is a very compact hard working skilful player.
As I have said before, I don’t think you often read much sense regarding Celtic, the club have learned often in the past not to rely on SMSM.
