This is gonna sound daft. But he looked tall in the photos and videos. But he’s a right short arse isn’t he. Thought he was ok. There was the one terrible pass but he at least looked forward. Which made a change for our midfield. I don’t think it particularly matters but yeah, looks like a 6ft2 marauding midfielder in most of the photos I saw |

Which made a change for our midfield. I think it's Arsenal who have a policy of only signing players over 6foot (they made an exception for Sterling). We look like a team of midgets, and even our taller players look weak. Have to hope Phillips, Lawal, Gallagher make a difference. Odegaard and Jorginho are both 5’10, as is Saka (not a signing but wouldn’t play so much if it mattered to them so much.) Gabriel Jesus is 5’9. So not sure about this? |

Yep looked positive. Get him involved at Boro. Burger is looking really poor.

He was pretty tidy nothing more nothing less.
Not enough time to really assess him but what we really need is a couple of powerhouses in the middle who can bully teams rather than be bullied.
We really look weedy in the middle with no exceptions. Even Thompson who’s our enforcer isn’t particularly strong and doesn’t win many battles.

One dreadful pass but as others said looked to be trying to get the ball forward early and played with his head up looking for movement. Not a bad little cameo.

He wanted to get on the ball which is more than can bes said about our other centre midfielders.
Sneaky suspicion that it will be him and sol in the holding role at some point.

If he's good enough play him, and if he's not, don't fucking sign him. He's not going to bed in being sat on the bench either.
Our midfield had zero control. So can hardly be worse than this lot

I'm more questioning the wisdom of Jon Walters and recruitment signing him in the first place, if we're not playing him |

I’m beginning to think he’s not trusted other than to play 1 min cameos

Looked lively for the couple of mins he was on.
I really hope he gets more time. Especially as Burger is struggling so much atm.

I’m beginning to think he’s not trusted other than to play 1 min cameos I wonder if he'll end up in the catalogue of players like Brek Shea, Maurice Edu types that sign then rarely play if at all and then just vanish off the face of the earth once they leave. It could be that the coaching staff are wanting to ease him in very slowly given the new culture and the fact that he's clearly not been signed with a talent ceiling like Junho. Realistically I'd say it will be cup games where he'll get the most minutes. |

Is he a signing to make the most out of the Japanese commercial market?

I was very surprised he never got on in the Portsmouth game considering it was 6-1 after 53 minutes. Thought that would have been ideal to give him a 30 minute run out with no pressure.
Although I’ve been following Stoke long enough that even at 6-1 I was still waiting for us to balls it up and lose 6-7 😂

If he cannot get on the pitch after THAT midfield showing tonight, it really doesn't bode well for his future here surely?

He looked lost and desolate as he walked off,must be so difficult in a foreign country, lonely and not even getting a sniff. Feel for him.
