Think the Japanese player will be a loan to buy like the one from USA we wanted.

Can't wait for David Dunn to be drafted in for the commercial for the first Vs takeaway in Japan. 

Get real

Looks like he can play on the left, right and in the hole. Probably more in the hole than anywhere.

The Ewood sink hole ?

Get behind the Japanese lad for fuck’s Sake.

Can't do much worse than Ennis/Telalovic

Leeds in for Sammi according to Rovers Latest on twitter

[JHRover]

Easy to go around making multi-million pound offers for other Championship teams' best players when you've raked in £30 million from sales.

Except when you are Venky Rovers, in which case you are still destitute and ripe for the picking.

Just now, Polky said:

LT think the fee could be higher than the rumoured £900k

”Reports in Japan claim Ohashi would be a deal worth around £1m, however, The Lancashire Telegraph understands that figure is higher than what could be agreed. It's understood the forward has some favourable clauses in his contract when it comes to negotiating with European clubs.

Those initial claims also state that a deal has been agreed between the two clubs and he will fly over in the coming days. A work permit would need to be sorted for Ohashi to play in the Championship.

That should be a formality as Rovers have four ESC slots available, which can used for players that would not otherwise qualify for a work permit under the new post-Brexit rules. Leopold Wahlstedt and Semir Telalovic assumed two of those last season but have both left the footballclub this summer.“

The quote is the opposite of your statement

For saki's sake, 200 million seems an awful lot for a unproven player but I hope it comes off we're so desperate for any new faces. It seems he has a yen to play here too.

Oops.

Misread that one - apologies 🤣

I've watched a bit of him on YouTube and X this morning - looks technically good and can finish, but i'm extremely aware in every video I've watched he would have been crunched by a 6 ft 3 defender by the time he got the chance in the Championship. 

[Wheelton Blue]

Why do people refer to this Nixon chap as 'Nicko' like he's some friend of ours? He's just a newspaper hack who sucks in the gullible with his little 'exclusives'.

Embarassing.

He used to post on his forum as Nicko.

Always tough to gauge how people will cope. I’m sure technically he will be good. He looks mobile and two footed. Will he be able to cope playing 3 times a week and feeding off scraps, it’s a lottery really.

Joined his current J1 team in January 2024 on a free. 27 games, 11 goals, 3 assists for his new club in 2024.

He moved from Shonan Bellmare to Sanfrecce Hiroshima

Almost 6' and a striker.

No idea if it's a really bid.

So we're finally signing Danny Batth? Obviously too late in his career for it to be worth it for Rovers.

[Ossydave]

Looks like we're shopping or at least trying to in France again, centre half from Nantes in this week 👀 

[Rover8T4]

Exact words I like to see. Any player who jumps at the chance to sign for us is the sort of player I want. Will come to prove himself

The Belgian right back, Zeitflug or something, looked terrific on YouTube but turned out to be terrible. Same with Telelovic. I'm very doubtful about this Japanese lad. It's a big gamble, and in the club's present state we cannot afford gambles

Telalovic was playing German sixth tier - as I said at the time, its completely incomparable.

I'm not even gonna bother looking into this Yuki Ohashi chap, have made this mistake too many times!

Once I hear something concrete I may entertain it... but I just can't see these muppets spending ~£1m on someone.

You can't even trust it when he's at Brockhall holding the shirt up for the press release.

This is in addition to Mafoumbi?

We should definitely be raiding Ligue 1/2 more often than we do. Clubs like Nantes have incredibly prolific youth setups. 

[Oldgregg86]

Hiroshima attacker is probably the only way we get this lot out

Another under 19 player I'm guessing.
