kpturner Posted 25 January, 2012 Posted 25 January, 2012 Billy Sharp??? I think I would spuff my pants if he signed today too.Please elaborate on the verb "to spuff"
eurosaint Posted 25 January, 2012 Posted 25 January, 2012 I can see him being nicknamed Bruce by the squad... I hope that his nickname does not end up as 'Brenda'
Saint_Ash Posted 25 January, 2012 Posted 25 January, 2012 I hope that his nickname does not end up as 'Brenda' I'm going to call him Rusty...
thornhill_saints Posted 25 January, 2012 Posted 25 January, 2012 I wonder want song he's going to sing in the dressing room as the induction.
Lets B Avenue Posted 25 January, 2012 Posted 25 January, 2012 I wonder want song he's going to sing in the dressing room as the induction. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aRiEA-qERtk
Window Cleaner Posted 25 January, 2012 Posted 25 January, 2012 (edited) I wonder want song he's going to sing in the dressing room as the induction. In general the japanese are sh*t hot at Karaoke, national pastime. Worse you are the more they like you though. Perhaps he can hire his ex to sing Sayonara ...Orange Range version that is.

SuperMikey Posted 25 January, 2012 Posted 25 January, 2012 Excellent news, hopefully he'll get a bit of gametime on Saturday. Fantastic signing on a free transfer as well! Congrats to the person who scouted him, nice big bonus methinks.
Saints foreva Posted 25 January, 2012 Posted 25 January, 2012 Hope this works out. Big LOL at the Saints fans getting over excited by YouTube footage though.
SNSUN Posted 25 January, 2012 Posted 25 January, 2012 ********! After all my playfulness on the Puncheon thread I fell asleep on the sofa literally two minutes before this was announced! Very pleased with this signing, it'll widen our audience in Japan for one thing, but also judging by his stats he'll be a welcome addition to our first team! Yes people will question why we couldn't have achieved both the Puncheon scenario and Lee's signing before the Leicester game, but these things take time. Looking forward to seeing him in action the next time I can get to see Saints. A CB and another Striker and we're golden. :-)

Congrats to the person who scouted him, nice big bonus methinks. 10/15 minutes may be, I mean he hasn't played a competitive game since early december.Pity we can't arrange a reserve match at short notice, we have players who could do with a bit of a run out,Jaidi,Puncheon,then there's the DS who don't seem to play at all very often.
Thorpe-le-Saint Posted 25 January, 2012 Posted 25 January, 2012 The club photographer said "think of alpine_saint" HAHA - fair play to you Alps.
saint si Posted 25 January, 2012 Posted 25 January, 2012 Free transfer... So almost certainly we did the deal with him in the summer (hence shirt #19 was free), and allowed him to complete his contract and finish the J-league season which ended in December.

So almost certainly we did the deal with him in the summer (hence shirt #19 was free), and allowed him to complete his contract and finish the J-league season which ended in December. Like I've said before Tadanari Lee was proposed to a fair number of European clubs from last summer onwards. I have an aquaintance who scouts for AJ Auxerre and he told me that the AJA had received a circular fact sheet about him.They might well have been interested as well but his salary ask was probably too high for them. PSG took a look as well I think.
martel Posted 25 January, 2012 Posted 25 January, 2012 Welcome Tadanari Lee - Now bang in those goals !! Does Southampton have a sushi restaurant? That would make him feel at home, just don't eat the blow fish.
Horley CTFC Saint Posted 25 January, 2012 Posted 25 January, 2012 http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10280~2588592,00.html I know we have a 31 page thread - but he has actually now signed - deserves a fresh one!!! Don't like his attitude get him to train with the academy
bjk Posted 25 January, 2012 Posted 25 January, 2012 Does Southampton have a sushi restaurant? That would make him feel at home, just don't eat the blow fish. Theres one up stairs in West Quay i think.
Matthew Le God Posted 25 January, 2012 Posted 25 January, 2012 I now know his Current Ability/Potential ability rating in the Football Manager database, it is very high! Hopefully he lives upto it.
Saint_Ash Posted 25 January, 2012 Posted 25 January, 2012 Does Southampton have a sushi restaurant? That would make him feel at home, just don't eat the blow fish. There's a Japanese restaurant called Zen opposite Holyrood Church.
david in sweden Posted 25 January, 2012 Posted 25 January, 2012 Is he the Japanese Michael Owen? I'd be satisfied if he were the Japanese Marian Pahars !
Verbal Posted 25 January, 2012 Posted 25 January, 2012 The club photographer said "think of alpine_saint" Why? Is he mooning?
S-Clarke Posted 25 January, 2012 Posted 25 January, 2012 I now know his Current Ability/Potential ability rating in the Football Manager database, it is very high! Hopefully he lives upto it. Go on then....what figures are we talking about? what's his pace/acceleration?
influx Posted 25 January, 2012 Posted 25 January, 2012 So today we have signed Jason Lee? Pineapple anyone? I love how you have tried this joke in both this thread and the Puncheon thread, and I hear the sound of tumbleweed in both!
Under Weststand Posted 25 January, 2012 Posted 25 January, 2012 been on nights this week just got up looks like a good news day after a day of doom & gloom. Welcome to Saints Tadanari. Love that picture of him in the red & White stripes, real don't mess with me attitude. Lets hope he gets off to a flyer, scores early on which will help him settle in quickly.
Window Cleaner Posted 25 January, 2012 Posted 25 January, 2012 scores early on which will help him settle in quickly. Probably will because we create a lot of chances,most of them go begging though.
Secret Site Agent Posted 25 January, 2012 Posted 25 January, 2012 I can see him being nicknamed Bruce by the squad... NA: Hey Tanadairy, Tandumanu, Tadardairylee, Tandumbicycle. TL: Hey, bross. Jus' call me Broose. NA: If you don't mind. TL: Not at all. Now, Mr Cortese want me have a word with someone. Where is this Jason Puncheon, I have special punchoen for him if he not apologise.
influx Posted 25 January, 2012 Posted 25 January, 2012 I now know his Current Ability/Potential ability rating in the Football Manager database, it is very high! Hopefully he lives upto it. You do know that football manager very rarely reflects a players true ability dont you??
Secret Site Agent Posted 25 January, 2012 Posted 25 January, 2012 The club photographer said "think of alpine_saint" Well, that not only made me laugh, but i almost felt a bit sorry for giving you some s@%* on the Puncheon thread. I did saw 'almost'.
Secret Site Agent Posted 25 January, 2012 Posted 25 January, 2012 I think you'll find MLT will take this up with you, at a later date.
Dibden Purlieu Saint Posted 25 January, 2012 Posted 25 January, 2012 You do know that football manager very rarely reflects a players true ability dont you?? Not true.
Gingeletiss Posted 25 January, 2012 Posted 25 January, 2012 There's a Japanese restaurant called Zen opposite Holyrood Church. Glad you replied to that, how anyone could miss it, is a mystery!
miserableoldgit Posted 25 January, 2012 Posted 25 January, 2012 Excellent news, hopefully he'll get a bit of gametime on Saturday. Fantastic signing on a free transfer as well! Congrats to the person who scouted him, nice big bonus methinks. Recommended by Harry Redknapp apparently.
dubai_phil Posted 25 January, 2012 Posted 25 January, 2012 TBF, I could understand a few doubts creeping in to those of that disposition, but some of the conspiracies that were coming out were quite funny, and all based on literally nothing. And not many held their hands up yet. Meanwhile this is now a complete disaster. He was FREE? Must be rubbish after all then. Why were you getting so excited about him. My citeh supporting mate this afternoon
trousers Posted 25 January, 2012 Posted 25 January, 2012 Recommended by Harry Redknapp apparently. Well, at least that explains what happened to Rosie....
Saint Fan CaM Posted 25 January, 2012 Posted 25 January, 2012 At last he's with us - great news! Welcome Bruce - hope you've got some pace and goals in you!
ART Posted 25 January, 2012 Posted 25 January, 2012 Just hope he knows JET LEE's "one finger press and you're dead" move. Can't wait to see opposing defences dropping like flies within a single batter of an eye.
ART Posted 25 January, 2012 Posted 25 January, 2012 Sign Jason Pearce from Pompey and were sorted. With all that's happening down the road, and having shown patience in this transfer window, we are in a vultures situation ready to swoop down and make one or two very nice signings. Our neighbours players can only be delighted of a move locally and the chance of Premiership football.
ART Posted 25 January, 2012 Posted 25 January, 2012 At last he's with us - great news! Welcome Bruce - hope you've got some pace and goals in you! JET is much more original and modern.
Crazy Diamond Posted 25 January, 2012 Posted 25 January, 2012 Sign Jason Pearce from Pompey and were sorted. Jason Pearce is really overrated. I saw him for an entire season when he was at Bournemouth and he just about stood out in League One. There's very little chance if any that he'll be a Premier League footballer in the future.
Jimmy_D Posted 25 January, 2012 Posted 25 January, 2012 keepers are probably a weeny bit better in the NPC, don't forget that misfit that they had at Skate,Kawaguchi,played 122 times for Japan. Still, we'll mould Lee to our style if he's got the right building blocks. Japan have improved a heck of a lot since then.
ART Posted 25 January, 2012 Posted 25 January, 2012 The pickings of the carcass of Skatesville and Pompey players deserves it's own thread. I can't see the window closing without us signing someone from down the road. We'd be foolish not to take advantage of their dilemma.
Window Cleaner Posted 25 January, 2012 Posted 25 January, 2012 Japan have improved a heck of a lot since then. Kawaguchi played for them up to the last WC though.
The9 Posted 25 January, 2012 Posted 25 January, 2012 And not many held their hands up yet. Meanwhile this is now a complete disaster. He was FREE? Must be rubbish after all then. Why were you getting so excited about him. My citeh supporting mate this afternoon Like England international Owen Hargreaves and World Cup Winner Patrick Vieira, who City have signed for nowt in the past 3 seasons ?
musesaint Posted 25 January, 2012 Posted 25 January, 2012 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aRiEA-qERtk Surely the Northam End can do something with this!
