Rumoured Yoshinori Muto

[supporter 3,088]

The Japanese market is one of the most important in the world. Having a Japanese player would give us many annual economic incomes by marketing. From this perspective could be an interesting operation.

And If after he's a good player ... perfect.

But if he is not ... we have secured many insured incomes by marketing each year. To grow with Financial Fair Play we need operations like this.

Regarding Muto I know absolutely nothing about him, but I guess it will not be a lame player with the ball. Maybe training with Jose he can have a good / acceptable performance like Kagawa ...

Although I recognize that this issue is disconcerting ...

Regards.

who the fuck is this kid

think it's something to do with that shirt deal. But I'm here to watch football so don't really know much about that.

There's really no secrets about why this would happen...clearly to tap into the Japanese market and one we should have tapped into ages ago.

This could be a good move for the market in Japan. That's football nowadays, you 1st think for the market and then for the quality, but I'm not bothered, this transfer can only help the team, so let's go for him.

I suppose it makes sense. If we're going for a Japanese player we may as well take the best prospect from the J-league and hope for the best.

It's about the money not about the quality. Like most I have never seen anything from him but I can't imagine a player from Japan making a straight impact in the EPL. I guess it is more of a or move and a clever one given the Nikon market is still undiscovered for us. Would be a great one for vitesse.

most likely he will spent more time at Vitesse, if we do sign him

You are right of course, about both points, but I think it's worth all of us adding an asterisk to every comment along these lines. The asterisk should note that the lad looks an interesting player. A player who seems worth a closer look.

muto will probably be loaned out to Vitesse if chelsea sign him

Is it Moo-Toe or Mewtwo?

former.

Deal makes sense.

Promotes the brands Chelsea & Yokohama as well as selling shirts in Asia which will pay for his transfer and wages. Potential to be loaned out and sold later for profit or keep as a squad player if he fulfils his full potential.

No, it doesn't!

It might make some weird sense in the messed up framework of running a football club like a greedy corporation, but it does NOT make real actual sense for football to be completely about money and profit rather than the actual fans and people and communities.

[CHOULO19 24,332]

On the actual player, let's please not pretend like we know anything about him from YouTube videos. Equally, let's not pass judgement on him and completely dismiss the player. Even if he is a 'marketing signing' he might surprise us all.

Exactly. Hulk and Kagawa were signed from the J-League and they turned out to be pretty good players. Hazard plays too much anyway, this Muto guy might be a pretty good backup. (according to transfermarkt.co.uk he is a left winger)
