We currently have 17 places in the 25 man squad pencilled in. No need to worry about which players won't make the cut just yet.

We need at least 8 signings or contract renewals before that becomes an issue.

We are going intro reputedly the best league in the world so he would need to be fairly good. The only Asian doing any good in the Premier is the one at Spurs but our recruitment team will know more than us that post on here. Oh I am sorry I forgot many play Championship Manager or whatever its called so they know better.

You do get annoyed when anyone questions you, don't you? It sounds like Hertha Berlin, who came sixth in the Bundesliga, were keen to keep him and are only selling him due to his refusal to negotiate a new contract. That, combined with the fact Albion want him if we do sign him, surely suggests he shouldn't be written off based on comparing his scoring record to Murphy/Skalak's scoring record in the Championship.

Looking forward to seeing 100's of Japanese fans in the front rows filming with there phones and Albion scarves around there necks at all our Sky games next year then

Aaahhhhh! They both look very sweet and wholesome. Hope the PL doesn't corrupt that.

Labradors are above that.

If we do indeed sign him it makes me think we'll be bringing in a decent striker. Both Gross and this chap seem to be facilitators more so than finishers. So someone high class will need to be finishing off their work.

No nothing except that he has been regular in a top six German side. That gives me confidence.

Wiggy Power · May 22, 2017

Another solid 75 rated gold. It's a yes from me.

I would be delighted if we signed a Japanese player. It would be a bonus if they were good

(I'm no weeaboo though

Would be a good signing to ensure we become a popular destination for Japanese football tourists. Sign him up I say.

I think we are already known to many Japanese sports fans, due to their nation sealing a famous victory against the Springboks, in the Rugby World Cup at the Amex.

Says he's a winger/striker.... better hope its the winger, as 4 goals from 70 appearances for Hertha Berlin sounds like an upmarket Japanese Billy Paynter

No one from Japan is the size of Barn Door Billy! . . . unless they are a sumo wrestler of course.

JAP is a glaring omission from THE LIST of (all-time) Albion nationalities.

So its a YES from me.

You can't say JAP. That's as bad as saying Paki. Come on Hansy , you of all all people.

Yet, we don't get offended if we're called Brits??

This is an old argument from ten years back. Hansy will remember. ( anyway you tell him)

symyjym · May 22, 2017

It looks like we are interested in players in German football. We have Uwe, Gross and now possibly this fella.

Maybe it is easier doing business with Germans?

I don't think Japanese people are sensitive to being called Jap, are they? To me, it's like us being offended being called Brits...

Even the word Paki wouldn't be a "thing" if it wasn't made to be. I'm from Bradford - and when I was a kid the Pakistani shopkeepers used to laugh and say "you'll always have a Paki shop on Christmas Day if you need owt!"

It was only when idiots used it as an insult it became a "horror word" :0(

Was it used as a horror word first or did it become one later?

Good story though.
