Matthew Le Tissier Posted 31 December, 2011 Posted 31 December, 2011 Japanese fw lee joins to the saints. Don't know to much about him . A left winger I think. However I believe the deal has been done and dusted.
S-Clarke Posted 31 December, 2011 Posted 31 December, 2011 Makes sense as there were talks of a J League player at St Mary's not so long ago.
Matthew Le Tissier Posted 31 December, 2011 Author Posted 31 December, 2011 FW LEE A friend of mine who works in Japanese football has text me this morning saying he has signed for saints. That's all I know! And he would know for sure!
Webby Posted 31 December, 2011 Posted 31 December, 2011 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lee_Keun-Ho This him?
S-Clarke Posted 31 December, 2011 Posted 31 December, 2011 FW LEE A friend of mine who works in Japanese football has text me this morning saying he has signed for saints. That's all I know! And he would know for sure! Is he one of the better players in the J League do you know?
Liquidshokk Posted 31 December, 2011 Posted 31 December, 2011 Hope this is him! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ux7S4tmyu8M&feature=youtube_gdata_player
Webby Posted 31 December, 2011 Posted 31 December, 2011 Powerful dribbler who scores goals too. Aged 26.
Badger Posted 31 December, 2011 Posted 31 December, 2011 (edited) ..who? Ay relation to FH Lee ? (or Fran Hee Lee - used to play for Man City before manufacturing bog paper). Edited 31 December, 2011 by Badger
Dibden Purlieu Saint Posted 31 December, 2011 Posted 31 December, 2011 Ay relation to FH Lee ? (or Fran Nee Lee - used to play for Man City before manufacturing bog paper). Or Ben Ah Lee?
Matthew Le Tissier Posted 31 December, 2011 Author Posted 31 December, 2011 He's very good apparently. Was in team that won Asia cup. Come on as sub in final v australia and set up goal to win
Hopkins Posted 31 December, 2011 Posted 31 December, 2011 http://www.firstpost.com/topic/person/tadanari-lee-20100925--video-mIIb4wzj1BQ-68961-3.html I think.
Liquidshokk Posted 31 December, 2011 Posted 31 December, 2011 He's very good apparently. Was in team that won Asia cup. Come on as sub in final v australia and set up goal to win So is the guy in my vid above? Is he not the guy who scores it?
Matthew Le Tissier Posted 31 December, 2011 Author Posted 31 December, 2011 The YouTube link above of the volley is our new signing
Badger Posted 31 December, 2011 Posted 31 December, 2011 Great to be bringing a good player in to the building - but it is more on the right that we need reinforcements rather left as suggested above. (although having seen the goal v Australia that did appear a cross from the right).
hypochondriac Posted 31 December, 2011 Posted 31 December, 2011 Hope he is what we need. Do you know who he is so we can check him out?
Matthew Le Tissier Posted 31 December, 2011 Author Posted 31 December, 2011 The final with Australia didn't end within 90 minutes and was extended into 15-15 periods. At 4 minutes in the second extra, FW Lee (Sub) made the beautiful left foot volley from DF Nagatomo's long and accurate cross from the left side and this was the GOAL to the 4th championship! The MVP of 2011 Asian Cup tournament went to Honda Keisuke. Today's MVP could be our goalkeeper Kawashima, who blocked numerous shoots from the tall and physically strong Aussies.

saints-cris Posted 31 December, 2011 Posted 31 December, 2011 Guess that means Puncheon wont be returning with opened arms
hypochondriac Posted 31 December, 2011 Posted 31 December, 2011 Looks decent. Do you have some attributes? Pacy? To play alongside Lambert? Or just a winger?
Badger Posted 31 December, 2011 Posted 31 December, 2011 The YouTube link above of the volley is our new signing But that is T Lee (I think) playing for Japan. The suggested (KH) Lee from Wiki is a South Korean international. Will the real FW Lee please stand up ?

Right footed volley and cross from the right side surely?!
Thedelldays Posted 31 December, 2011 Posted 31 December, 2011 there are so many Lees... what if we are going to sign the wrong one by mistake..?
S-Clarke Posted 31 December, 2011 Posted 31 December, 2011 Great to be bringing a good player in to the building - but it is more on the right that we need reinforcements rather left as suggested above. (although having seen the goal v Australia that did appear a cross from the right). I would imagine he can play either side, as with most wide players. We needed to strengthen the flanks and up top, looks like we've killed two birds with one stone on this. Let's hope he settles quickly. There have been some real jems come into english football from the Asian leagues, the lad at Bolton springs to mind recently. Quite excited if this all gets confirmed.

Nakamura at celtic was brilliant also....
Matthew Le Tissier Posted 31 December, 2011 Author Posted 31 December, 2011 I've text my mate back for more details so will let you know soon as he replies.
Badger Posted 31 December, 2011 Posted 31 December, 2011 is it..? With AL on the left, it is usually the RM that has been subject to debate, Guly, SDR, or putting a CM out there. Accept that AL could swap to the right side.
S-Clarke Posted 31 December, 2011 Posted 31 December, 2011 Nakamura at celtic was brilliant also.... yep at him. The guy at Wolves years ago too wasn't too bad.....it's not a bad standard in asia at all, and if this kid is performing in Asian cup finals then we could have a bit of a gem.
Chez Posted 31 December, 2011 Posted 31 December, 2011 with Lallana struggling and Holmes not fancied the left side really needs strengthening so this is good news.
Thedelldays Posted 31 December, 2011 Posted 31 December, 2011 yep at him. The guy at Wolves years ago too wasn't too bad.....it's not a bad standard in asia at all, and if this kid is performing in Asian cup finals then we could have a bit of a gem. indeed...that part of the world is what scandinavia was like 15 years ago for us..........could..COULD pick up a good player for next to nothing... just hope he does not take too long to get used to the team etc
Matthew Le Tissier Posted 31 December, 2011 Author Posted 31 December, 2011 I agree the cross was from Right,
hypochondriac Posted 31 December, 2011 Posted 31 December, 2011 With AL on the left, it is usually the RM that has been subject to debate, Guly, SDR, or putting a CM out there. Accept that AL could swap to the right side. Or even give Adam a rest from time to time like de ridder has been. Competition in all positions could be a good thing.
saint lard Posted 31 December, 2011 Posted 31 December, 2011 I think i will make a judgment on how good he is until i see him in the flesh......cue all the 'best of' youtube clips......we know how well that often pans out,don't we. Here's hoping he will live up to the billing he appears to have by many on here already.
S-Clarke Posted 31 December, 2011 Posted 31 December, 2011 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tadanari_Lee Pretty sure this is the fella. Japanese, but of Korean dissent which would explain some of the confusion!
S-Clarke Posted 31 December, 2011 Posted 31 December, 2011 I think i will make a judgment on how good he is until i see him in the flesh......cue all the 'best of' youtube clips......we know how well that often pans out,don't we. Here's hoping he will live up to the billing he appears to have by many on here already. I don't think he's been built up massively at all, it's just the sort of player we could do with to freshen things up. It's been a long time since we've signed any current internationals...
Matthew Le Tissier Posted 31 December, 2011 Author Posted 31 December, 2011 Ok I think I have worked something out My mate text fw lee But I think they use the term fw as forward And I fact his name is http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tadanari_Lee
VectisSaint Posted 31 December, 2011 Posted 31 December, 2011 Good stuff, we can drop Lallana, put Lee in the team just in case AL gets injured, see how he gets on, things will probably get worse to start with, but at least we will have used more players.
hypochondriac Posted 31 December, 2011 Posted 31 December, 2011 indeed...that part of the world is what scandinavia was like 15 years ago for us..........could..COULD pick up a good player for next to nothing... just hope he does not take too long to get used to the team etc Yes there is also that factor. Having not played in English football it may take a while to adjust when we don't really have time.
itchen_dan Posted 31 December, 2011 Posted 31 December, 2011 Yep it's Tadanari Lee. http://www.goal.com/en/news/14/asia/2011/12/31/2824683/japans-tadanari-lee-to-join-championship-side-southampton
crouchi Posted 31 December, 2011 Posted 31 December, 2011 Work permit rules says picked in 75% of the games he was available for over last 2 years. He has 10 caps in 2011, so he looks a bit short of qualification to me.
Badger Posted 31 December, 2011 Posted 31 December, 2011 Or even give Adam a rest from time to time like de ridder has been. Competition in all positions could be a good thing. Yes, fair point.
hypochondriac Posted 31 December, 2011 Posted 31 December, 2011 I think i will make a judgment on how good he is until i see him in the flesh......cue all the 'best of' youtube clips......we know how well that often pans out,don't we. Here's hoping he will live up to the billing he appears to have by many on here already. Dont be silly. Saying he looks good before seeing him is just as sensible as saying he looks bad. Nothing wrong at all with making judgements before you have seen a player.

He has 10 caps in 2011, so he looks a bit short of qualification to me. I'm sure any work permit stuff was sorted out and investigated long before we even offered him a deal.
Matthew Le Tissier Posted 31 December, 2011 Author Posted 31 December, 2011 So he's a striker! Nice That's two hems in 2 days I have given you boys If one of them comes off I'll be happy IDE rather the jap tho! Cortese will love that To Southampton brand will go japanese in a big way simular with park at man utd
shurlock Posted 31 December, 2011 Posted 31 December, 2011 (edited) Japanese friend tells me he cost 500K As he's only joining on a one-year contract to begin with, supposedly special conditions apply for visas He will be having an interview with the home office at the start of January and hopefully joining soon after Supposedly 1899 Hoffenheim of Budesliga 1 were looking at him. Edited 31 December, 2011 by shurlock dont know the beginning from the end
InvictaSaint Posted 31 December, 2011 Posted 31 December, 2011 The 'Goal' article refers to his homeland as France. Is that right?!
Liquidshokk Posted 31 December, 2011 Posted 31 December, 2011 Ok I think I have worked something out My mate text fw lee But I think they use the term fw as forward And I fact his name is http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tadanari_Lee Did you you think his first name was fw?? I assumed that was his position
