UpweySaint Posted 31 January, 2020 Share Posted 31 January, 2020 Seeing the video on Saints twitter was a nice watch, he's not always been without fault but there is no doubting Yoshida's professionalism and dedication over his time at the club. Sensibly I think we all knew he was likely to move on so it's understandable all around but still tinged with sadness. Best of luck Maya, as per twitter a saint forever.

Mr Brightside Posted 31 January, 2020 Share Posted 31 January, 2020 Sad to see Yoshida go. Of the many loyal land very useful Saints players who probably spent more time on the bench than on the pitch, for me he ranks highly. Maya, I'm sorry we possibly won't see you playing for us again - unless called for in an emergency - but I would love to see you on the last day or the season with the rest of the squad, parading around the ground so that we can say thank you. Thanks for the blocks in front of goal and thanks for some important goals. Good luck for the rest of your career, mate. This. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antrimsaint Posted 31 January, 2020 Share Posted 31 January, 2020 Sad for this. One of the longest lasting players to leave. Never as bad as some made out. Great squad player who never complained.

Shroppie Posted 31 January, 2020 Share Posted 31 January, 2020 This. and Danso is staying? They rated Danso at CB over Yoshida? Interesting.Try looking at it realistically. Maya is 4th choice. He's out of contract in the summer and won't get another one. In my opinion, he's been a brilliant servant to the club and has my total respect. I thank him for the great things he's done for Saints and wish him well. This move gives him a chance to have one more episode in his career. But for the rest of this season, if we need to call on a 4th choice, this means we can assess Danso in his proper position. Otherwise he'll sit on the bench and we'll never find out how good or bad he is. And hopefully, in a few games time, we'll be safe enough to give him game time if we want to.

Shroppie Posted 31 January, 2020 Share Posted 31 January, 2020 I will never forget his humble speech to those in hospitality after the 0-9 loss. He didn't have to do it but insisted it was his duty. I'm pleased to say I got to shake his hand. Great loyal servant to Saints. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
striker Posted 31 January, 2020 Share Posted 31 January, 2020 Not sure why Ralph doesn't rate him, but I always thought he should have been out there. Under rated player in my opinion. This leaves us weaker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
austsaint Posted 31 January, 2020 Share Posted 31 January, 2020 Well I liked Yoshida. Even though there was a mistake in him he was a model professional, worked his socks off, great ethic, good servant to the community and representative of the club...and he was a solid CB with a goal threat for headers too. Captain of his country for 100 caps. Class act. The kind of player we need more of not less of. Best of luck Yoshi and thank you. Absolutely this. Well done Maya Yoshida; a much better player than many on here are claiming. Great Clubman too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy_D Posted 31 January, 2020 Share Posted 31 January, 2020 His dedication and professionalism meant he was always improving, and the fact he always gave it everything made him one of my favourite players. He reached 100 international caps and was given the international captain’s armband thanks to his efforts here, and he truly earned them. He’ll always be very welcome back at St Mary’s.

GarrettIvo Posted 31 January, 2020 Share Posted 31 January, 2020 Exactly!!! Can't believe people are happy with stephens Bednarek and vestergaard as our only CBs!!! I for one have never been happy with Stephens as 1st choice or otherwise. As for Maya, good luck to him as he's been a decent pro for a long time. But there's no point having five very average CBs when four very average CBs will do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

egg Posted 1 February, 2020 Share Posted 1 February, 2020 Brilliant and Ioyal servant to the club who made had some great games for us. That said, his best days are behind him and he wasn't getting any game time here and was unlikely to unless we had a couple of injuries or suspensions. With his contract up in the summer, it made sense to let him go. We have 4 CB's for 2 places so we'll be fine for the rest of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alehouseboys Posted 1 February, 2020 Share Posted 1 February, 2020 Wherever you put his abilities as a PL player, I'd say he's been reasonable overall, he's been a great servant to the club and by all accounts a real nice and honourable fella.

Polaroid Saint Posted 1 February, 2020 Share Posted 1 February, 2020 Deserved an opportunity to say goodbye. Played in some of our finest recent teams, a key element of the sides that came 8th, 7th and 6th in consecutive seasons. The league cup final, the San Siro, unlikely yet occasionally excellent goals...... A tireless professional who deserves the greatest of respect. Good luck Yoshi, may we have the chance to see you soon. All of this. Otsukaresama de****a, Yoshi! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr X Posted 3 February, 2020 Share Posted 3 February, 2020 He’s become a real symbol of how saints have declined in recent years. Gone from being back up to Fonte and Van Dijk, to backup to Bednarek and Stephens.
