Rumoured Yoshinori Muto

[Kendrick 339]

Let's say this- Even if it's only for those business purposes, Chelsea still picked him out of 127~ Japanese in the world.

So i agree with CHOULO, we don't know the guy, lets not judge him yet.

Also, i'm sure we won't miss a CL final because Mourinho was obligated to play him. We had worse sitting on our bench anyway.

In the videos, he looks good. Obviously the Youtube videos are very misleading, but at least give us a idea of what type of player is him. If he can do this here, in premier league, would be a great back up.

My personal opinion, if this is true, is that he obviously is a imposition of the Yokohama Sponsor, so, We search a player that can help us and not only will come here to fulfill the contract.

Yes yes yes bring in the samurai!

Makes sense with Yoko deal I guess, asian market is very interesting for us anyway.

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)

We're never gonna sub off Hazard for Muto unless we're up 3-0 and he's dead tired or injured.

Hopefully he can help sell a few jerseys down there and help with our visibility in the market. I'm not mad....

Even Hazard needs to be rested sometimes and he can also get injured. It was Salah and Schürrle that replaced him in the last few months but now they are gone and Cuadrado only plays on the right wing(isn't he?). It wouldn't be bad to have another LW in the squad.

A club as big as ours should not be signing a crappy player to tap into the Asian market. If we want to tap into it sign a fucking good player or at least do a tour or two, what a shambles. If he comes here and takes a spot in the squad and is utter shit what a waste. Even if he goes on loan, who is he? The J League? Kagawa has been the best player to come out of that league and will be for ages and ages I assure you.

if it doesn't speak any English at all, kill it with fire i say. (I'm Just joking. I am trying to get myself permanently banned)

[Joker10 946]

I would welcome him with open arms obviusly like any player that signs for Chelsea. But gawd i would not recommend him to sign for Chelsea. Go to the Bundesliga, where other former J-league and K-league players have done so well.

You could add Honda to that list as well. People are too fast to past judgement. Has anyone ACTUALLY seen him play live?

Edit: Doesn't seem to be in bad form either.

Well I know nothing about the J-League so I'm in no position to offer assurances about it, or to doubt any given by anyone else. I do say again however, this bloke looks an interesting prospect to me. There is genuine talent there. Will it translate? Who knows, certainly not me, but there are a lot of finishes in his videos that any player, anywhere, would be proud of. If we complete this deal I'd feel positive about it and look forward to seeing what the lad can do with that talent.

Indeed

Don't worry though - literally every FM based Chelsea fan is now hastily signing him to see if he's really any good I'm not sure about FIFA - they probably have him too

YouTube is how Downing was signed for Liverpool though - lol

Unfortunately FIFA does not have him.
