Saint Charlie Posted 30 August, 2012 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itchen_dan Posted 30 August, 2012 Share 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 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This Charming Man Posted 30 August, 2012 Share 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." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griffo Posted 30 August, 2012 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
