CHOULO19 24,332 Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 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 Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kendrick 339 Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illmatic 901 Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 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.

(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.

Chelsea Legend 11 4,062 Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Hopefully he can help sell a few jerseys down there and help with our visibility in the market. I'm not mad.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

OneMoSalah 8,886 Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 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.

Joker10 946 Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 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.

People are too fast to past judgement. Has anyone ACTUALLY seen him play live?Edit: Doesn't seem to be in bad form either.http://www.goal.com/en/news/3194/video/2015/04/09/10604392/video-chelsea-target-yoshinori-muto-scores-screamer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
