Hopefully he'll get one, Saints have had a few issues in the past with work permits.
It only says we are in talks with him on the os?, so we haven't actually signed him yet.
Hopefully we will see a few more players come in and Lee (if he chooses to stay) will hit the ground running because we need it.

Yeah but the OS says "
Lee, who is a leading light in Asian football, is training with the club at Staplewood whilst the application for the work permit that would allow him to permanently join the club is reviewed." So pretty sure "in talks" is badly worded seeing as that makes it seem it's just a matter of waiting on paperwork. Also pretty sure Don wouldn't allow something to go on the OS if it wasn't certain.​

True unless he says "**** me england is a **** hole" I guess it's one extra on the bus.
 
Haha hopefully he won't. Though his Twitter suggests he doesn't like rain so trust he'll be off in summer when he's had enough

They don't have summer in Japan, they call it "the rainy season". I think he'll be ok.
 
Not sure how many japanese live in Southampton but I think you can bank on longer queues at the ticket office! Good business move from the Don!
 
Is it just me or is everything that I hear about this guy make him sound more and more like Guly?!? Maybe with a little more pace.
Don't get me wrong I am a huge Guly fan so thats fine by me! Sounds like a top signing. Good work scouting team I think
 
Not going to look at his vids on YouTube, just going to see what he does on the pitch.
 
Eiji Kawashima would be another brilliant player to bring in if we are looking in Asia. Ever time i see him he puts in a great performance (in the Asia Cup in particular). At 28 he still has many years left in him.
 
Really pleased if it comes off. Been lacking in attacking options lately so good to see us looking at international level to further the push for promotion.


oooooooooh tadanari , he's a striker , does martial arts..........
 
His signing should also guarantee a massive increase in matchday stream links for those of us unable to worship at St Marys!
 
Until it's all 100% official, I wont be treating him like he's one of ours. But yes, it certainly all sounds very promising. But we can't sit back and rest - we'll still another another player or two as well. And ideally before Forest.
 
Obviously Saints are pretty certain he's going to get a work permit, otherwise I doubt they would have put this on the website. As st brendy says we still need another 2 or 3 players imo. Let's just hope that Guly and Steve are fit before the Forest game!
 
With Lee already training wouldn't it be nice to see him play against coventry. It would be the perfect chance to slowly get him used to the physicality but at 6ft something that should not be a problem

His work permit isn't decided until the 12th so he won't be able to.
