\n “He\u2019s got intensity and work rate. It\u2019s something the scouts have seen.\n<\/p>\n
\n “In terms of the club, we will bring in players to develop and players for now. Even though he\u2019s a bit older, he\u2019s probably one of those that can give us that intensity and pressure.\n<\/p>\n
\n “I need to look and see him when he comes in, and hopefully he can do well. The idea was to bring him in and assess him.\n<\/p>\n
\n “He\u2019s a strong boy \u2013 but we\u2019d want to add to our front line also.”\n<\/p>\n
\n Rodgers also quashed talk of a potential Celtic return for Odsonne Edouard this evening: “I\u2019m not worried so much about a big name,” he said. “It\u2019s about the collective of the team.\n<\/p>\n
\n “Big names don\u2019t always give you want you need. This team needs hunger, goals and work rate and intensity.\n<\/p>\n
\n “Big names don\u2019t always give you that. It\u2019s about big players.\n<\/p>\n
\n “I just want players who are hungry to learn but also ready now. There are lots of players linked with us.\n<\/p>\n
\n “Odsonne hasn’t been on my radar, to be fair. I obviously know him, but it\u2019s about a player who will fit into the structure of the team.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Japanese striker is set to join the Parkhead club from Kawasaki Frontale.\u00a0 Rodgers spoke on Yamada after…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":268201,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4100],"tags":[94,79,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-268200","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-football","8":"tag-football","9":"tag-sports","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114866289707417968","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/268200","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=268200"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/268200\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/268201"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=268200"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=268200"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=268200"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
