[BBC]

We asked for your views on the signing of Hayato Inamura after the Japanese centre-back joined Celtic on a four-year contract.

Here's what some of you had to say:

Kevin: He should be a great improvement on the combined efforts of Liam Scales and Auston Trusty.

Hugh: Based on his playing record, this signing is either a masterstroke by our scouting and recruitment team or an act of sheer folly - time will tell. Either way for £250,000 it is probably a risk worth taking. Key to it all will be how much game time he will be given?

John: Was hoping to sign a better known centre-half but will see how he turns out. Signing him from a team that's near bottom of the J League, doubt he's used to our standard.

Ray: Four-year deal for a reason - to make money on him if it works out like many others. Won't be a first-team pick initially but will be tested to see if he has physical presence at the back, which is an Achilles heel clearly shown last season. Bit of a gamble but worth taking. Most of our Japanese players have delivered to date.

Alec: All we hear is about 'the model' and it's hard to comment on players when you have not seen them play or they play at a lower standard. However, we need proven talent through the door, not projects. The squad is beginning to look bare and untested with little sign of it being strengthened.

John: Could be a decent signing for the money paid, hopefully a step up from error-prone Trusty, who doesn't fill me with confidence any time he plays.
