He'll be worth the £2million if he does this in the last minute against the Skates in the FA Cup
But seriously, I can't really say whether it's a good signing or not because I've never seen him play.
However... He's young, can play as a left or right sided centre back, and is Japan's captain, so he must have something about him.
Just found this video, from 2:54 is evidence that his English is considerably better than Lee's:
So, has anybody seen him play? Is he better than what we already have?
Captained Japan in the Olympics, scored a headed goal against Egypt. Can't really remember his individual contribution but I recall Japan looking defensively very solid, so hopefully that was down to him!
is there any chance he can play on sunday?, says he needs some sort of clearance
Yep Japan showed at the Olympics that they are an emerging force. Nice to know we have two of their best players!
