Huffton Posted 16 July, 2012 Share Posted 16 July, 2012 Anyone know who the Asian guy is on Nigels right? Translator for Tadanari? And if so does that mean he's fit to train again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thedelldays Posted 16 July, 2012 Share Posted 16 July, 2012 I think it is Nigel said the other day that Steve Davis will be fully fit very shortly and expects lee to be back in full training towards end of pre season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Le God Posted 16 July, 2012 Share Posted 16 July, 2012 It is Tadanari Lee's translator. Adkins said after the games on Saturday that Tadanari Lee has gone to France with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-Clarke Posted 16 July, 2012 Share Posted 16 July, 2012 Yeah, that's Tadanari's translator mate, by all accounts he's now a mingled in member of the squad! he goes everywhere. All the injured players all went on the trip as well, maybe not to play or train hard, but it's important to mingle with all the other lads rather than being left behind.

Hopkins Posted 16 July, 2012 Share Posted 16 July, 2012 Well Lee wasn't on the pitch Saturday but that guy was fully involved in helping run the pre game warm ups. So I'd suggest he probably had some coaching experience before and has got himself a tidy little job on top of translating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

david in sweden Posted 16 July, 2012 Share Posted 16 July, 2012 seriously, isnt about time he spoke English by now? I mean the whole world speaks it FFS oh no they don't - you'd be surprised at the amount of foreigners who struggle with Tourist English - T. Lee can probably manage some basic daily chat, but every new expression he hears will need translating for a while at least. Football terminology may be simple for you , but how do you think it sounds in Japanese? I recall hearing about some of the Swedish players who had trouble understanding Gordon Strachan in the beginning....the funny thing was that some of the English players had the same problem.

Badger Posted 18 July, 2012 Share Posted 18 July, 2012 The only Japanese connection with initials TT was something like 'Tiger Tanaka' or similar. This however was James Bond's contact in You Only Live Twice. But with the power of Google : Tadanari's translator never played the game at any competitive level but has got all his badges and had a coaching job with one of Huddersfield's youth teams before joining us. it brings up a geezer by the name of Tsuyoshi Takano.
