We signed someone!

[BlueArmy 86]

Ryotaro Tsunoda from Japan J1 League. Anyone know anything about him?

EDIT - he's been loaned to KV Kortrijk. He's 24, why isn't he ready for us?

Re: We signed someone!

Think it's work permit related.

Re: We signed someone!

he doesn't qualify for a work permit for us.
he might after half a season playing in Belgium?

Re: We signed someone!

good player above his station for where he is... lots of good players over there that would do well here

fitness levels and discipline, he has a great left foot, very whitts like... and likes a good sliding tackle, will that wash with the championship players and refs not sure

young and good though... will he ever make it here thats the thing, has to play for eu poins before he can come

Re: We signed someone!

from what I've seen in very limited grainy YouTube footage he plays a bit like a left sided Perry Ng.
Not beating his man out wide for pace, but tucking in and delivering raking passes from the half spaces.
Could be a nice balance to the side with them both involved (in the longer term).
Would also give options for 3 at the back

I was reporting this in my blog piece on the Leeds game - Bulut confirmed the move ten days ago.

You predicted a Ryot.

Interesting signing, seems random but let’s wait and see… next season.

Do you know much about him?

24 is practically youth for us.

I don't see why not

I don't see why not

I hope you’re proved right, Rjk! I’d love my expectation to be wrong.
