GeordieDazzler Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Were Kagawa and Park Ji-Sung at Manure at the same time? That's the only time recently i remember a Japanese and a Korean at the same club. Nope they just missed each other Park left the summer Kagawa arrived. I suspect there is a few times in Germany this has happened though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeordieDazzler Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 A quick Google tells me that Ausburg currently have two Koreans and one Japanese player Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
John P Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Why are there so many Asian players in the Bundesliga compared to other European leagues? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRD Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Less money plus proven record of players from selected Asia markets? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRD Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 The Japanese especially. Think it's also a case of similar ethos between the Germans and Japanese. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginola Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 If he means we sell Gayle he’ll be my favourite ever player. Joselu second choice Because Gayle fixes that problem? Gayle is a better option than Joselu, so yeah Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Okazaki also played like that in Bundesliga. Typical Japanese forward. They may be able to play as a "striker" there but no way they could replicate that in EPL, just like Okazaki would never be able to lead the line. They are excellent supporting casts behind the main striker though. Well I don't think there's any way we've bought him to play as the main striker, he looks like he'll be the supporting striker like Perez - although whether he's an improvement on Perez might be debatable.

Disco Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Why are there so many Asian players in the Bundesliga compared to other European leagues? I think it's just a historical thing. The first Koreans/Japanese to go over did really well so other clubs started investigating those markets plus the players are cheap so it's low risk. Bit like how there used to be loads of Scando's in the PL back in the day. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think we'll play a mixture behind the striker, lot of hard work and movement. Kenedy, Perez, Murphy, Muto, Ritchie, Atsu, Aarons (if he stays) isn't a bad set of options imo. If we'd just spend some cunting money on a legit striker I think we'd have a canny team myself, though some better full back options would be good mind.

Sho Time Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 So why cant he play up front? Is this a typical "He's small so he needs to be number 10" thing? Aye, nowt to do with his below-average goalscoring record in a worse league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zero Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 So why cant he play up front? Is this a typical "He's small so he needs to be number 10" thing? He can play there just like what Perez did.

Tiresias Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Mutos quick and wants to run in behind defenders doesn't he? Sounds like gayle replacement more than perez, both could play with latter dropping back and doing the hold up work which he isn't that suited for really but don't see them as that similar from descriptions.
