Hertha were playing him at right back pre-season although previously he's played as a winger and as a false number nine for Japan. Plenty of examples of wingers converting very successfully to wing back/full back.

Interesting that Hertha fans rightly say that but in the Japanese national team he has become something of a stand out player recently playing a more direct role. With this and talkvof Snodgrass and Cafu it certainly seems that we are looking to use pace as a primary weapon next season possibly...

Think this one is nearly over the line. Hertha fans tweeting it as a done deal.

It used to be Norwich :lol:

Another 4 year deal. We appear to be making longer term commitments than we often have generally in the past. Amortising costs over a longer periods can of course indicate a preparedness to spend significant sums.

Nippon is the Japanese name for Japan hence both Nip and Jap are diminutives. Whether either are offensive in themselves I doubt unless there is intent to offend in which case I'm not sure the actual words used matter that much.
