KSV Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 i really want him due to his set pieces. We have some of the worst corners/crosses off free kicks in the game. Imagine the crosses he would put for Helenius and Benteke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raymond Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 Yes please! The passes at 1:18 and 1:44. Wow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 Yes, some really stunning passing in those vids. Great vision, and great confidence. I really hope this happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czechlad Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 Come on everyone, a couple of youtube videos proves absolutely nothing. How consistent was he during the season? Did he only produce against lower table clubs? We could very well be looking at another N'Zogbia if that is the case. Can someone who actually knows something about him post some facts? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gompedyret Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 (edited) Wow, i knew he was meant to be good but he looks incredible! can't see them letting him go for less than about £12m though surely?! Hopefully they haven't seen the youtube clips. Edited July 2, 2013 by Gompedyret 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a Japanese International who plays in the Bundesliga...I'm gonna go out on a limb and say he's a good player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you make a video of one of our players setting up so many goals from set pieces last season? At a stretch Westwood.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArteSuave Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 I watched him a few times last season and can confirm he did in fact look like a baller. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanBalaban Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 I just hope he doesn't cost too much. I'm more worried about the language barrier than anything else. Very few Asian players seem to perform in the PL even when they've set other places in Europe alight. Whilst I'd disagree with that to an extent, it's likely that he now speaks some German at least and Paul Lambert can speak German so I doubt there'd be any problems here.

Biskitt Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 Not heard much of him before now but having seen the videos and reading up on him, he looks a proper player. The thought of him skipping through balls through to our front 3 is giving me a semi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westwood is difficult but I can make Albrighton look like the next Ronaldo with a few videos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raver50032 Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 I suspect the gist is they don't want to lose him but a sizeable bid could change that - the club are inviting Villa to piss or get off the pot. ROFL - so very eloquent. Like it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SempiternalVillain Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 (edited) He had a really solid Confed cup experience and am really wishing for this transfer to come through. Gives us a lot of exposure and shirt sales in Japan. Vision and free-kicks are really the missing puzzles at Villa's attack for a lllllllllooooooooooonnnnngggggggg time. Although if he gets his strength and scoring ability developed he'll be just as good as Kagawa. Edited July 2, 2013 by SempiternalVillain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob182 Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 (edited) He only scored four goals last season, so he isn't much of a goalscorer. His real strengths are his vision, through balls, crosses and his set pieces. Would love this to happen. Which is exactly what we need, when we'd have 3 of Benteke, Gabby, Weimann, Helenius & Tonev in front of him. Someone with vision & creativity is just what we need, imo! EDIT: I forgot the big man, Helenius! Edited July 2, 2013 by Rob182 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArteSuave Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 He had a really solid Confed cup experience I didn't see him in the confed cup and I've been trying to figure out why. According to wiki he only played the first half of their first game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qwpzxjor1 Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 Injury? Or was he rubbish, subbed off and not used again? Japan are building a decent team, but I'd expect this guy to be one of their key players unless he doesn't fit in tactically? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
