Yuki abe to sign subject to medical

[Blue Maniac]

How many times do you reckon Sousa has seen this guy play? (apart from the world cup)

Four million.

 

[TommyK]

Four million.

Slight higher than I would have guessed.

Presumably we've somehow circumvented the work permit issue. Either that or it's another rule we've overlooked...

if he meets the criteria should not be a problem. Looks like we wasted at least £475 on Kiata

 

[Magellan]

He's an honest player...

I seen it. Honest Abe - as in Lincoln.

This bloke's name is pronounced "a bay" (with "a" as in "a book") if anyone is interested.

I have spent all morning trying to think of a Japanese player successful in any of Europe's major leagues......

Shunsuke Nakamura at Celtic (if you count that as a major league...), Shinji Ono won the UEFA Cup with Feyenoord in 2002, Nakata had a long (if fruitless) run in Italy at Perugia, Roma, Parma, etc.

Of the current Japanese national squad, seven now play overseas. The most notable are Honda at CSKA Moscow and national captain Hasebe at Wolfsburg, where he helped win the Bundesliga title in 2008-9.

Is there anyway to come out of this charade without looking like an idiot?

You could start by writing 'any' and 'way' as separate words.

have you not heard of youtube

Apparently its the no1 scout tool managers use nowadays. How do you reckon we signed our best striker Yann? He's a youtube sensation! Theres a compilation video of him scoring wonder goals so he must be good.

The current Home Office financial criteria for a player to come to the UK outlines he must be continuously funded during his time in the country ...

I'm sure that doesn't apply to us.

Someone should tell Oxford English.

Japanese press at the usual pre match press conference today....

There'll be some good creases in Leicester today, then.

Signed according to Stringer's tweets.w

 

[Nottingham Fox]

Paulo Sousa has informed the press that Yuki Abe is a Leicester City player.

 

[buzzer_b]

Never heard of this chap but must be good because he's foreign.

Paulo Sousa has informed the press that Yuki Abe is a Leicester City player.

A Leicester City player who hasn't got clearance to play yet....

Ahem! You are a City supporter, what you mean is, he must be shit because he is a foreigner that the Messiah NP didn't look at with his ground breaking, worlds best scouting network! :icon_roll

I like the 'use youtube to judge a players ability' scouting network. Look at Yann and that Kaebi lad. They were world class foriegn players.

 

[dpjfox]

has he signed "subject to recieving work permit"?

 

[Mike - True Blue Tinter]

Bloody foreigners, coming over stealing our jobs and our women ...
