Liquidshokk Posted 31 December, 2011 Posted 31 December, 2011 Japanese friend tells me he cost 500K As he's only joining on a one-year contract, supposedly special conditions apply for visas He will be having an interview with the home office at the end of January and hopefully joining soon after. That far off?

Matthew Le Tissier Posted 31 December, 2011 Author Posted 31 December, 2011 Did you you think his first name was fw?? I assumed that was his position Yea thought it was like a Js park thing Thicko Oh well he said its all been agreed pending permitt that should be fine He also said he is ****ing amazing
Matthew Le Tissier Posted 31 December, 2011 Author Posted 31 December, 2011 He will be here way before that! Next week IDE say
aintforever Posted 31 December, 2011 Posted 31 December, 2011 Thinking along the same lines, it could be this fella...
trousers Posted 31 December, 2011 Posted 31 December, 2011 He will be having an interview with the home office at the end of January and hopefully joining soon after So, not "done and dusted" then....?
Tokyo-Saint Posted 31 December, 2011 Posted 31 December, 2011 Lee is not a Japanese name though, as mentioned before he is not of Japanese decent. I doubt our motives are for commercial befits as he would need to be 100 % Japanese for them to really care. Plus they have a number of players who are Japanese dining well across the world, a couple in Germany and Honda in Russia (cue really funny car jokes).
shurlock Posted 31 December, 2011 Posted 31 December, 2011 (edited) He will be here way before that! Next week IDE say Yes, my fault, the beginning of January - he'll be having an interview with the Home Office then and signing soon after. But according to the press, its definitely for one year as special conditions exist for visas and for £500K. Edited 31 December, 2011 by shurlock

Korean descent but its big news over there right now.
tommi Posted 31 December, 2011 Posted 31 December, 2011 Southampton brand will go japanese in a big way simular with park at man utd Park is Korean and in his home country his fame is on a par with Mr Beckham. Would be nice to add to the brand in the largest region in the world. Fernandes has done that at QPR - Malaysian TV now show all their games live. Plenty of opportunity.
Jonnyboy 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. Yep, give Adam a bit of competition and hopefully will raise his game. It's not hard to outcompete Holmes.
shurlock Posted 31 December, 2011 Posted 31 December, 2011 He's a striker, not a winger. He's definitely not known for his pace.

Monk Posted 31 December, 2011 Posted 31 December, 2011 the hyper **** loves a goal celebration. Pretty excited about this one for some weird reason. Where's MLG with the players all important FM profile?
del boy Posted 31 December, 2011 Posted 31 December, 2011 Looking forwards to Tandori linking up with Trotter and Jukewizzy - should keep the taters on their toes (I may have got some of those spellings wrong) ...this time next year Rodney
Matthew Le Tissier Posted 31 December, 2011 Author Posted 31 December, 2011 I've had 3 emails today from japs wanting one of his shirts already
Tokyo-Saint Posted 31 December, 2011 Posted 31 December, 2011 Korean descent but its big news over there right now. I've got lots of Friends and family still over there, some of them are season ticket holders for J league clubs. I've asked their opinion of him and will post their replies.
Nexstar Posted 31 December, 2011 Posted 31 December, 2011 Another video for good measure - He looks to be quick, good with his feet and has an eye for finishing. His goal on 13:00 was brilliant. If nothing else, he'll add a bit of spice to our goal celebrations! The ones at 5:30 and 7:45 were particular highlights.

surrey1saint Posted 31 December, 2011 Posted 31 December, 2011 Hope the OP is right....here next week is what we need!
thorpie the sinner 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! Thing I love about this site is that we have friends all over the place to corroborate signings lol!!! Fair play
Matthew Le Tissier Posted 31 December, 2011 Author Posted 31 December, 2011 How very confusing http://m.youtube.com/#/watch?v=82cHo7YJONE http://m.youtube.com/#/watch?v=Ux7S4tmyu8M
niceandfriendly Posted 31 December, 2011 Posted 31 December, 2011 What's for sure is we need to find a Sanfrecce Hiroshima message board. That's how to really judge a players quality. If those on there reckon he's good then Nigel Adkins has done a great job, if they say he's not up to much then, well, we can all be considerably "underwhelmed", "disappointed" and we can question NA in the transfer market.

saints_is_the_south Posted 31 December, 2011 Posted 31 December, 2011 http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11688/7403123/ Scored the winner in the final of the Asian Cup against Australia this year for what its worth.

Lets B Avenue 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 The Purple Archer?????? :lol:
Aardvark 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! Must be South Korea - they don't allow dissent in the North.
Matthew Le Tissier Posted 31 December, 2011 Author Posted 31 December, 2011 Yes sky probably got that info of hear
(not THE) Kevin Moore Posted 31 December, 2011 Posted 31 December, 2011 sounds like exactly the sort of 'left field' deal we've made a habit of recently. He looks (albeit from limited clips) like a tricky player with a range of finishes, if not 'lightning quick' his touch looks good and he looks reasonably strong so should fit into our 'style' of play. Far rather take a £500k punt on him than overpay for a 'name' that we all know like Maynard, J-Rod, Lucas J.... Left footed as well (by the looks of things) so gives us a bit more balance up top!
Webby Posted 31 December, 2011 Posted 31 December, 2011 Perhaps the video clips are reversed to fool us into thinking we've bought a left footed genius!
miserableoldgit Posted 31 December, 2011 Posted 31 December, 2011 Yes sky probably got that info of hear Is this Japanese translation??
Jimmy Gabriel's Halo Posted 31 December, 2011 Posted 31 December, 2011 Lee is not a Japanese name though, as mentioned before he is not of Japanese decent.

JackFrost Posted 31 December, 2011 Posted 31 December, 2011 Saw him play in the Asian Cup Good player, got the winning goal in the final
EastleighSoulBoy Posted 31 December, 2011 Posted 31 December, 2011 Or Ben Ah Lee? No, this guy has a permanent cough and is named..... wait for it..wait for it! Ben Ah Lin Who's hidden my coat?
Crazy Diamond Posted 31 December, 2011 Posted 31 December, 2011 I bloody told you I saw a Japanese player at St. Mary's! Get in. I'm ITK.
skintsaint Posted 31 December, 2011 Posted 31 December, 2011 Least he looks like he can shoot first time and doesn't need 3 or 4 touches to get a shot in.
St Chalet Posted 31 December, 2011 Posted 31 December, 2011 YouTube Footage - Check Wikipedia Review - Check Unless I have missed it have we had a view from the FM experts?

skintsaint Posted 31 December, 2011 Posted 31 December, 2011 not sure you can get J-League players without using a custom version of FM12 so just youtube and wiki info only at the moment.
Crazy Diamond Posted 31 December, 2011 Posted 31 December, 2011 It might have been all the way back when we played Peterborough when I noticed Nigel and the guy, who we now believe to be Lee, posing for photographs in the tunnel, which tells you how long we've been working on this and how good a job we've done at keeping it quiet.
Matthew Le God Posted 31 December, 2011 Posted 31 December, 2011 YouTube Footage - Check Wikipedia Review - Check Unless I have missed it have we had a view from the FM experts? Football Manager doesn't have the rights to the J-League so it won't be any help.
Tokyo-Saint Posted 31 December, 2011 Posted 31 December, 2011 Let's just fill the gaps with racist slurs and inaccurate stereotypes then. We have had a few of the usual suspects on here so far but nobody has cracked a joke about eating dogs (Korean) of whales yet. Turkish is trying his best to fill the Deppo void but be needs support. Come on knuckle draggers, at least give us a song.
Matthew Le God Posted 31 December, 2011 Posted 31 December, 2011 Football Manager doesn't have the rights to the J-League so it won't be any help. If he does sign, I'm going to have to make his profile from scratch rather than the normal having him passed over to me from his previous researcher. That'll take a while.

sfcuk fan Posted 31 December, 2011 Posted 31 December, 2011 Hmmm, could result in some interesting new tunes when we work out a song for him ! .
