Japanese cb being rumoured, story coming from Stephen McGowan, only 5.11 and his stats aren't great.

Japanese players seem to struggle with the physical side of the game, a see Edd the boy you mentioned from serbia being linked again,17yr old do you like the look of him mate av nvr seen him.
{Ed007's Note - I've honestly never seen Veljko Milosavljevic play apart from YT etc mate, but people who know better than me say he is a great young player and only going to get better. He's a big unit for 17-years old at 6ft3 and pretty solid for someone so young.}

Yeah he does, valued at £8m so ad imagine if we wer in the running he must be ready for 1st team hopefully.
{Ed007's Note - Milosavljevic turns 18 later this month and although it seems a lot of money it's like a Lennon Miller type signing, they're good enough domestically and they'll get game time but will need time to fulfil their potential.
It goes against me thinking CCV will leave this window but bringing in Milosavljevic as his back up for a year would be the ideal scenario. But if CCV does leave I can't see us signing the young Serb as we will need a higher standard to immediately replace CCV.
I don't even want to suggest we sign a CCV replacement AND Milosavljevic ??

Reports saying board confident of keeping Ccv, if reports true about young Serb your 100% about keeping Ccv for that particular reason but apart from that am not to bothered if we do sell him as long as we bring experience in.

I don’t think a Japanese cb will ever make it at Celtic playing SPL, football.
In Scotland attacking players can throw their weight around without SPL ref penalising . No other league is as lenient and certainly not Japanese .
Trusty couldn’t handle the robust approach.

Gut feeling isn't great with this one. I feel like his name will be on those lists of CBs where we top up the combined fees and ask why we didn't sign somebody more proven. His numbers defensively don't look great. Aerial duels won are near 50/ 50 I read. Not surprising when he's the same height as my gran. Certainly doesn't look like an exciting full back either. Then somebody will say don't write the lad off before he's kicked a ball. Just as they did with all the others. Hopefully this isn't our only CB being brought in. He just seems like versatile cover to me.

He must have some top qualities. I don’t think we would be chasing a Haoanese player for the craic . It’s not like when Ange was here when we were buying Japanese players by the car load.
