Didn't realise Inesta and Thiago are playing in the J League.

Transfermarket valuation is less than £1.7m. Peanuts in the football world (but probably BS as per usual).

He doesn't qualify for a work permit so he will - as with Percy Tau - be with USG for a season or potentially til January.

Didn't appreciate that Japan are ranked 28 in the world, so once he gets a few caps under his belt then he'll qualify.

In Japan's Olympic football team too so might get a chance to see him 'live'.

Seems that this will likely be announced after Olympics are done if true.

Our xG is going to be staggeringly high next year. I almost hope we don't sign a striker.

I've always found this the oddest of phrases, who the hell would put their cap under their belt? Irrespective of the fact that the FA don't dish out caps anymore anyway. :facepalm:

They do still dish them out

In fact everyone now also gets a ‘legacy’ cap on their first appearance which has their own number much like the England cricket team have legacy numbers under the crest on their shirts.
