Ian the Red Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 Hi Ian ....I think ....he's a Davies ...(I know it's difficult -isn't it ) Well spotted!! Just testing David, to see how many were alert to the deliberate mistake!!!
Saint Charlie Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 Found out that Yoshida can speak some English, spoke it with his team mates in Holland, certainly helps and will help Lee too.
itchen_dan Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 Found out that Yoshida can speak some English, spoke it with his team mates in Holland, certainly helps and will help Lee too. As a little sidenote, Lee did his first interview in English yesterday for the programme on Sunday. Someone like Yoshida will improve the team and also help Lee settle in even more due to him being able to go to someone who can speak English but also his natural language.
SuperSAINT Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 Southampton are reportedly in talks with Japan international Maya Yoshida. The £2million-rated VVV Venlo defender is also believed to be attracting interest from Celtic.
itchen_dan Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 Seems to be close. http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.voetbalinfo.nl%2Fnieuws%2F51420%2Ftransfer-yoshida-naar-southampton-in-afrondende-fase%2F
Saint Garrett Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 You're going to be awfully busy tomorrow ID !!
HurleyBurley Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 Seems to be close. http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.voetbalinfo.nl%2Fnieuws%2F51420%2Ftransfer-yoshida-naar-southampton-in-afrondende-fase%2F 'and should be part of their defensive problems' Let's hope not!!
Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 Sibley says another signing to report. Presume its Yoshida rather than Ramirez...
Saint Garrett Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 Another signing Here we go....Yoshida or Ramirez ?
RonManager Posted 30 August, 2012 Author Posted 30 August, 2012 Ron brings home the bacon. Koki Harada /原田公 树@ kokidaiz Maya Yoshida agreed with Southampton!!!! 吉田麻也、サウサンプトン移籍決定です。まもなく正式発表です。
JustMike Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 Yep, Gordon Simpson from echo just re tweeted it. A CB at last.
Griffo Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 So now we'll have even more f*cking sappy Japanese tourist-students trying to get into SMS with stupid home made banners.
itchen_dan Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 officialsaints: Japanese international Maya Yoshida is set to join #SaintsFC on a three-year deal from VVV-Venlo. More at http://t.co/uOy2bQWx shortly.
JRM Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 So now we'll have even more f*cking sappy Japanese tourist-students trying to get into SMS with stupid home made banners. there was a group of girls with their cameras at the ready at the front of block B on tuesday night, about 8-10 of them, if that is what they can take to stevenage midweek for Tadanari Lee just think how many will be out for bigger games! think we're going to need a bigger stadium
swannymere Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 So now we'll have even more f*cking sappy Japanese tourist-students trying to get into SMS with stupid home made banners. Anythings better than Green Street wannabe's and deluded casuals.
doubleonothing Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 Great news. A defender and not a bad one by all accounts! Konichwa etc
Griffo Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 Anythings better than Green Street wannabe's and deluded casuals. You alright there?
Saint Charlie Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 Good stuff...now for Ramirez then anything is a bonus for me.
Griffo Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 there was a group of girls with their cameras at the ready at the front of block B on tuesday night, about 8-10 of them, if that is what they can take to stevenage midweek for Tadanari Lee just think how many will be out for bigger games! think we're going to need a bigger stadium Saw them going into the toilets at half time, ha. We should have our own segregated Japanese end within our away ends to cater for them. They should get their own allocation in our end and have stewards surrounding them so we can abuse them in safety.
Dibden Purlieu Saint Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 Know nothing about him. Hopefully he will be good! UTS!
Dellman Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 So now we'll have even more f*cking sappy Japanese tourist-students trying to get into SMS with stupid home made banners. They're welcome and more the merrier
DT Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 Yeeha! Great signing. Get another CB in plus Ramirez and maybe a GK and it will have been an excellent window.
Toadhall Saint Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 Good oh glad to see we are rectifying a large gap in the current squad. Now who gets dropped for him?
Griffo Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 They're welcome and more the merrier This Charming Man will have a much harder job this season trying to keep them out.
CanadaSaint Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 So now we'll have even more f*cking sappy Japanese tourist-students trying to get into SMS with stupid home made banners. Judging by the attendance and lack of atmosphere at the Wigan game, I wouldn't look that gift horse in the mouth.
This Charming Man Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 Not happy about this at all. Going to be a nightmare trying to keep all the cringe worthy home-made banners and the like out the ground now. Also, I posted the following on another thread but feel it's more apt on here; "I actually went to see Venlo play last season. They were very poor and were easily beaten 3-0. I actually remember thinking at the time, I wouldn't want one of these players at Saints, apart from this decent, young winger they had. So based on that, I'm going to write him off before he's even kicked a ball for us."
Griffo Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 Stick the Japanese in some decent clothing and make them purchase a flag from BarmyFlags. I can picture it now at away games.. Japanese flag with "Japanese Loyal and Scum Army" written on it.
Alain Perrin Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 Saw them going into the toilets at half time, ha. We should have our own segregated Japanese end within our away ends to cater for them. They should get their own allocation in our end and have stewards surrounding them so we can abuse them in safety. You sick pervert.
Tokyo-Saint Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 Saw them going into the toilets at half time, ha. We should have our own segregated Japanese end within our away ends to cater for them. They should get their own allocation in our end and have stewards surrounding them so we can abuse them in safety. Spot on! Let's make them wear little kind of captain bands on their arms but instead of saying captain it could show something to signify they are different from us, a sun or a star or something.
This Charming Man Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 Has an Asian player ever 'made it' in a Western football league? There's that lad Man Utd have signed from BVB but even he's over-rated, IMO.
Griffo Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 Spot on! Let's make them wear little kind of captain bands on their arms but instead of saying captain it could show something to signify they are different from us, a sun or a star or something. Sounds good to me.
Colinjb Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 (edited) Has an Asian player ever 'made it' in a Western football league? There's that lad Man Utd have signed from BVB but even he's over-rated, IMO. Ji Sung Park, Champions League, Premier Leagues and FIFA World Club Cup winner Hidetoshi Nakata, Serie A winner. Edited 30 August, 2012 by Colinjb
Appy Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 That's a good start. Desperate for another CB still though, I agree with TCM, we don't want to turn into Fulham with fans turning up not giving a ****.
david in sweden Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 So now we'll have even more f*cking sappy Japanese tourist-students trying to get into SMS with stupid home made banners. yes, and now we have the captain of the Japanese national side ...what sort of interest ....and shirt sales will that generate?
shurlock Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 Has an Asian player ever 'made it' in a Western football league? There's that lad Man Utd have signed from BVB but even he's over-rated, IMO. Shunsuke Nakamura
Saint Charlie Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 Ji Sung Park Hidetoshi Nakata There's 10 Japanese in Bundesliga. Nakamura was class for Celtic in league and Europe.
Matthew Le God Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 (edited) Has an Asian player ever 'made it' in a Western football league? 4x Premier League 1x Champions League etc etc Plus plenty of other Asian players in top European leagues. In any case it is quite a generalisation to right off a player based on his nationality. Edited 30 August, 2012 by Matthew Le God
Colinjb Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 There's 10 Japanese in Bundesliga. Nakamura was class for Celtic in league and Europe. Yes, great player to watch.
RonManager Posted 30 August, 2012 Author Posted 30 August, 2012 Know nothing about him. Hopefully he will be good! UTS! I know naff all about this player!! If I may respectfully direct your good selves to post number one (1) on this thread then your lack of knowledge of said footballer may be reduced somewhat. I thank you.
Avenue Saint Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 Great stuff. Good signing. So without reading the thread how many have decided he's sh!t already???
This Charming Man Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 Ji Sung Park, Champions League, Premier Leagues and FIFA World Club Cup winner Hidetoshi Nakata, Serie A winner. Forgot about Nakata - he was decent when he was at Parma. The real test for Park will be this season when he won't be carried by the rest of his team.
Colinjb Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 yes, and now we have the captain of the Japanese national side ...what sort of interest ....and shirt sales will that generate? The Olympic side, not the full international team. A subtle but important difference. [/MLG mode dissengaged]
david in sweden Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 We should have our own segregated Japanese end within our away ends to cater for them. They should get their own allocation in our end and have stewards surrounding them so we can abuse them in safety. ......and now it'll be sushi and sukiyaki on the half time menu .....
