Not sure why a thread about a Japanese player has turned into talking about China

It is just a conversation nothing more nothing less. Not really worth commenting on is it?

People often mock me but the first good Chinese player is going to be a fcuking goldmine. They have put so much money into their academies that we really should have scouts out there.

Yes, yes they do.
Yes, yes we do.
But we still love you.

It's something to do with people talking about something, then others repeating it and others repeating what they heard then others repeating what they heard....

Hopefully agent Dembele did some scouting for us whilst he was playing in CSL.

Poor man's Foyth

Poor man's Foyth

Except he is 2 footed and doesn’t appear to have taken out any players having just come on the pitch

I don't see any similarities other than they can both play fullback and central defence.

The tackle at 1:10. To be honest, I can't tell if he's the defender or attacker there, as Bologna play in both those kits.

I also mean that he tends to overplay things and his passing is a little 'feet not cashing the cheques his brain is writing'.

GB was a very high opinion of Foyth

The question is does this guy do the x number of mistakes per game that Foyth, Dier, etc. have

2 legs, 2 arms and a head too

Hold on, you are talking about Foyth there aren’t You?

Two footed. Can play right across the backline. A couple of good seasons in a decent league. Rumoured to cost around £17m. What is not to like?

Not much to be honest. I think our principle CB needs to be quick, cultured and left-sided (a new Vertonghen or King). He ticks a couple of those.

Yep. French whispers.

 

[JerusalemMan]

I'd never heard of him.
I've now read about him.
I'll now be gutted if we don't sign him

If £17m is the price then it can only be a good deal - I mean, he cant make more mistakes than Dier last season, and might cost less than we'll receive from selling Dier.

So an improvement and some cash in too. Next, flog Sanchez and sign the Dane

And they have invested so much money in coaching and fitness
