Colinjb Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 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. And at Roma, where he won the Scudetto. Park will be interesting this season but he always looked a real livewire.
Matthew Le God Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 The Olympic side, not the full international team. A subtle but important difference. He still has 17 caps and 2 goals for the full international side at the age of 23.
david in sweden Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 The Olympic side, not the full international team. A subtle but important difference. [/MLG mode dissengaged] Thx. Colin... I stand corrected ....so who is their "proper" captain, then?
CHAPEL END CHARLIE Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 A formidable addition to our defence May be a bit rusty though .....
KelvinsRightGlove Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 I don't get this uber-fan ********. Surely we want people to support our club? That's kind of what 'growing' means, no? People moan about empty seats, yet they moan about new fans. Can't have it both ways really. Happy for anyone to come along and cheers on the Saints, especially if they are paying for tickets/shirts/scarves etc. All helps towards our next Japanese international signing. Oh also, welcome aboard Yoshi - yes, that is how I will refer to him forever henceforth, deal with it TSWF.
Katalinic Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 Just a suggestion but maybe we could wait until we've seen him play before we pass judgement - mental idea I know.
This Charming Man Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 4 Premier Leagues 1 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. Park was carried by Man Utd. He was deployed to run around a lot in big games when Man Utd knew they wouldn't have all the possession like normal. Interesting to see how he fares this season. Where have I written him off because of his nationality? I was merely asking a question and igniting some debate.
Colinjb Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 Thx. Colin... I stand corrected ....so who is their "proper" captain, then? Makoto Hasebe, a wolfsburg midfielder apparently. Thankyou Wikipedia....
toe_punt Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 I can just see you in front of your computer, willie in your left hand, empty pizza boxes all around and smudges on your milk bottle bottomed glasses. Internet cool guy............... 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.
This Charming Man Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 Just a suggestion but maybe we could wait until we've seen him play before we pass judgement - mental idea I know. I've seen him play in person, he wasn't great. Could've just been an off day though.

shurlock Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 (edited) Yuto Nagatomo (Inter) another decent player - could solve our LB problems. Edited 30 August, 2012 by shurlock
Katalinic Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 I've seen him play in person, he wasn't great. Could've just been an off day though. Yes, to qualify, I mean over a period of time rather than one game, but you knew that.
Saint Charlie Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 ********, Park was/is pretty good and scored some very important goals for the mancs... Also very good for PSV. He is a good player, not world class but very good.

Tokyo-Saint Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 Has an English player ever made it in the J league? They don't like it on a humid Tuesday night in Osaka.
MOSaint Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 Sibley must have a different definition of shortly as there is still no sign of an article on the OS.
Jack Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 He's GOT to be better than Seaborne. Which means he's improving the squad, which was needed.
Griffo Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 I can just see you in front of your computer, willie in your left hand, empty pizza boxes all around and smudges on your milk bottle bottomed glasses. Internet cool guy............... is that another bite?
Saintandy666 Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 I saw Japan Mexico at the Olympics. Wish I'd paid more attention to individual players now! Oh well, look forward to seeing him.
Tokyo-Saint Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 He's GOT to be better than Seaborne. Which means he's improving the squad, which was needed. Seaborne has never made it in the J league - Fact.
SaintRichmond Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 SimonPeach: Mayuka deal done so not one of the three new faces. Yoshida move is on as is Ramirez, leaving one other. And no, I don't know who it is. Where is it Officially on OS ??
pap Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 Good job. We actually signed a defender with time to spare!
This Charming Man Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 Has an English player ever made it in the J league? They don't like it on a humid Tuesday night in Osaka. Gary Lineker.
itchen Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 Alpine won't like it*. I don't know what, but I know he won't like it.
Tokyo-Saint Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 Gary Lineker. Toe injury - didn't make it. Next?
JustMike Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/index.htm?aspxerrorpath=/news/article/japans-yoshida-set-for-saints-343281.aspx now it appears
This Charming Man Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 Toe injury - didn't make it. Next? Chris Marsden - K League.
SO16_Saint Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 Where is it Officially on OS ?? http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/news/article/japans-yoshida-set-for-saints-343281.aspx
TK8267 Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 another one whose work permit has already been secured all this worry about work permits doesnt seem to be needed were on top of it
Saint Charlie Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 Awaiting clearance so probs available for the Arsenal game. Probably the same scenario for Ramirez if he signs.
oldskoolsi Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 Love the claim on the website tht it was put up 45 mins ago.
Tokyo-Saint Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 Chris Marsden - K League. What's that got to do with the J league? Also didn't make it by the way.
SaintRichmond Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/news/article/japans-yoshida-set-for-saints-343281.aspx Sorry to be pedantic, but it says he is "set" to sign..... Which is NOT the same as he "has" signed How many have we actually signed as we speak ??? NONE
Bananaman Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 I don't get this uber-fan ********. Surely we want people to support our club? That's kind of what 'growing' means, no?

Spot on.. too much elitism amongst supporting a football team.
S-Clarke Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 Sorry to be pedantic, but it says he is "set" to sign..... Which is NOT the same as he "has" signed How many have we actually signed as we speak ??? NONE lol stop being an idiot. He's signed, get over yourself. The OS wording is just because he hasn't got clearance as yet. Which is a formality.
JustMike Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 Sorry to be pedantic, but it says he is "set" to sign..... Which is NOT the same as he "has" signed How many have we actually signed as we speak ??? NONE work permit is done, international clearance will be no prob
Saint Charlie Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 Sorry to be pedantic, but it says he is "set" to sign..... Which is NOT the same as he "has" signed How many have we actually signed as we speak ??? NONE Very concerning IMO. Treating fans like mugs.
SaintRichmond Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 lol stop being an idiot. He's signed, get over yourself. The OS wording is just because he hasn't got clearance as yet. Which is a formality. Idiot, Thanks, but read the OS again Since when has "he is set to sign" meant that he HAS signed WHERE, on the OS, does it say that we have ACTUALLY signed anyone ?? Simple question to answer surely
alpine_saint Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 Great news. A CB at last, and by all accounts a decent one too.
Thedelldays Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 Idiot, Thanks, but read the OS again Since when has "he is set to sign" meant that he HAS signed WHERE, on the OS, does it say that we have ACTUALLY signed anyone ?? Simple question to answer surely do you think he won't be a saint..? he has signed...work permit sorted just waiting for the green light to start work..ffs how hard is that to understand
Matthew Le God Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 (edited) He already speaks English so fluently that he used it rather than Dutch when at VVV... Might be him helping Tadanari Lee rather than the other way round! Edited 30 August, 2012 by Matthew Le God
SaintRichmond Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 do you think he won't be a saint..? he has signed...work permit sorted just waiting for the green light to start work..ffs how hard is that to understand Show me WHERE he HAS signed All I see is that he is SET to sign NOT the same thing, how hard is THAT to understand ??
itchen Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 Not available until after 11 th September according to article because of Japan international games.
Thedelldays Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 Not available until after 11 th September according to article because of Japan international games. matters not really.....he would never be playing at the weekend and there is (as you mention) an international break
John B Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 Great news. A CB at last, and by all accounts a decent one too. Only time will tell may take time to settle into the PL Would be a very good signing if we already had two PL CBs
JustMike Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 Great news. A CB at last, and by all accounts a decent one too. This could end up being a decent window after all
S-Clarke Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 Only time will tell may take time to settle into the PL Would be a very good signing if we already had two PL CBs In theory, we do
tttdcs Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 Signed from a Dutch club, this might help with a CB partnership with Jos (assuming his Dutch is better than English?) Edit: just seen MLG post, before you point it out
