Takehiro Tomiyasu

Dunno about that he had 4 yellow cards last season so pretty average for a defender, Dier only had 3 in the league last year surprisingly.

dier was too slow to even foul anyone lol

For sure. Japan and South Korea both have quite a few interesting and talented chaps in their new generation of players. It's a shame with Brexit that we're unlikely to get any talents from over there in the younger years as they're more often than not unable to get a work permit.

Surely the work permit is granted by the UK Government, the EU has nothing to do with it ? Maybe make it easier

The UK Government made the rules a lot harsher after Brexit, which might make it a lot harder for a lot of foreign players to move to the prem in the future. What EU did was allow people within the union to move freely but non-EU permits were handled separately by each country.

As far as I understand it, now every single non-UK-born player will be subject to work permit.

When he's played LCB, was it in a back three of four?

 

[Clark28]

Ah that's awesome.

I was worried about this lad at first, but now your mate has spoken up, I'm totally on board.

No worries mate, if there are any of players you are worried about, let me know. I'll pass their names onto my mate and get his feedback

RB in a 4, RCB in 3, LCB in a 3, CB in a 4. The works.

One of our major weaknesses with our defence has been the inability to carry the ball into midfield and take out the attacking press.

Dier and Sanchez couldn't beat a man with the ball and both struggle to find the dynamic range of passing.

This is imperative in modern football. You can get away with one defender having limitations but we only really have Toby who has this yet he's declining.

I see a lot of these qualities in Tomiyasu

cool, thanks. Would obtaining a work permit make it more difficult though ? Surely the uk elected government want the top players here as the Premier League as a massive bundle of cash, ? If not the clubs will be banging on the PMs door,

Top players would still get the permit relatively easily. It's getting the talents from abroad, that has yet to truly prove themselves, that might prove to be a lot more difficult. Time will tell but IIRC the English FA and Prem teams have expressed some concerns. Time will tell I guess

It will be very interesting to see just how quickly Paratici can sort this transfer out if he is a real target. It will give some indication perhaps of not just how much control Fabio has been given over such matters but also how willing Levy is to back him up financially with his selections. If this drags on and on then we can assume nothing much has changed but if it's done and dusted next week it has to be a positive sign surely ?

 

[TennesseeYid]

Like the signing, can play anywhere on the back line, still think we need a bigger name CB. This guy and Rodon are good young CB to build around.

Seems like this will be our first signing of the Summer.

I was going to agree with you, then I realized how many boxes this ticks for Levy. Young, cheap and potentially a big new market for him to get into. This will be wrapped up quickly

 

[jpascavitz]

Looks a good signing! Might not be the most earth shattering signing but I love when we sign versatile players.

I really think our squad could benefit from 3 or 5 atb formation to help our defense. Instantly it looks like we have options across the back line when you start looking at the squad that way.

LWB - Regulion, Sess, Davies
LCB - Tomiyasu, Davies
CB - Toby, Sanchez
RCB - Rodon, Dier, Tanganga
RWB - Doherty, Tanganga, Tomiyasu

Obviously need to clear out a few CBs and if one other is brought in, I think we can shore it up for the season hopefully ?
