We have signed a Scottish player also
My friend in Japan rates him highly, and she knows what she is talking about.
Been out the country for the past week, but, oh look, here comes the utterly predictable strategic Premier League Asian signing. Sell a hundred thousand shirts to the Asian premier League market. It's a well-trodden path. If we don't sign this one, we'll doubtless sign another one. And not for any football-related reason. Fair enough, guess the board could probably exerted sufficient pressure on Hughton by saying that this one currently plays in Germany. It's a fair compromise.
It's going to be a long hot summer if this is the attitude we carry.
Was there a point to your post?

Or just possibly, this lad might just be GOOD AT FOOTBALL?
Behave! You know as well as I do the reason for this particular signing. And if it falls through, then guess what. we might just uncover another Asian gem as a Plan B.
All* I care about is whether he is a good player. If he can be a good player AND spark a bit of interest in the club, too, that's just a bonus.
*that, and how fit his wife is.

When you say 'fit', do you mean:
- able to do the 100m dash in under 13.5 secs; or
- delightfully attractive.

So... to summarise...
95% are in favour of signing up whatever the bloke's name is, missus
5% think she's not all that
And nobody cares very much about the player. Pure Premier League tokenism tapping into the burgeoning Asian at work? Heaven forbid!
No and possibly. His other half is fit though.
