Out of all the RB's we've been linked to, this is the guy I wanted. Younger and at least as good as KWP. Considerably better than Aarons.
Really good signing Not least because Yukinari is 31 in Japanese years so will add much needed experience to the squad (Emojis not showing so please know that this was tongue in cheek!)
I don't remember who said they thought we'd sign 10+ but I'm begining to believe it. We've not even addressed many of the key positions of need yet.
I know absolutely nothing about this bloke, but I’m buzzing anyway. We should never be without a Japanese defender imo. Especially an actual right back.
Never heard of him, but all the Twitter experts (who have probably never heard of him themselves before this window) seem pretty moist about it ...
Looks decent enough. Can tackle, shoot, pass and pick out a player in the penalty area, that last skill being something that KWP has always struggled with, imo. My only concern would be the number of times he slid into tackles inside the penalty area. Could see players and VAR using that to get penalties.
Yep, medical today. BBC saying we decided to hold off on Max Aarons after Bournemouth asked for £10m+
AZ Alkmaar posted a video of their players warming up for training today and Sagawara is not there, so must've travelled already
Seems good value. Pretty crazy to think we have signed Edwards, Wood and Sagawara for not much more than £10m up front.
