mrmojorisin75 Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Don’t know why but I’m tickled pink we’ve got a Japanese and South Korean in the squad. Excited to see what this guy can do under Rafa. Exactly the same. Despite my Korean links I'm unreasonably happy about us signing Muto. Japan were the bollocks in the world cup. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dokko Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Another thinking outside the box signing, I reckon he will do well, may not just be goals but general style of play. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ritchie Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Think he'll be better than expected, although I thought the same last year when we signed Joselu. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 I know absolutely nothing about him, so I'd be lying if I said it was an exciting signing considering how much the really good strikers go for these days. Any new striker always gets your hopes up though. Interested to see how he gets on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny, I've felt the same way ever since we were set to sign this lad. A Korean and a Japanese playing for Newcastle United. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zero Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Too bad there is no Chinese player worthy of signing to add to the lot. I can guarantee you no Chinese player has the quality to perform in EPL. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
loki679 Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Give it 14 years or so and my boy will be the Chinese Shearer. The other one's a big bastard so he's gonna be a Lascelles. Both signing for Newcastle, obv. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stottie Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 I had a look on Squawka and Muto's standout stat is his shooting accuracy, about 65% over the three seasons at Mainz. He doesn't shoot much, and doesn't seem to play that much looking at the minutes played, but gets a relatively high number of those shots on target and makes them count. Last season Muto scored 7 from 32 shots, Joselu 3 from 44, Gayle 5 from 52, Ayoze 7 from 56. All league only. Muto had 5 from 18 the season before.

joeyt Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Presume he can still train with us while we wait for his work permit, as just read the permit won;t be decided until late next week. Obviously he's not going to Portugal but hope he can do some work on the training ground to get him up to speed as he'll be behind Mitrovic and Ki in terms of fitness I imagine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stottie Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Different leagues though. True, but Muto's shot accuracy and goals/shots taken are good even compared to Bundesliga stars like Lewandowski, Timo Werner and James Rodriguez. Aubameyang played in both leagues last season and his shot accuracy number actually went up after he joined Arsenal. It went bit under the radar with Arsenal's woes and Wenger going, but he's started really hot and could well be a force this season. Anyway, if Muto can hit the target better than the scatterguns that are Joselu and Gayle, and to a lesser extent Perez, that would do nicely. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odear Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Looking forward to seeing him play. I guess this will be instead of Rondon which I’m not too disappointed with. I think Muto will be more of a team player. And more importantly won’t be as docile as Joselu Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydnNUFC Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 We want Rondon too. It just depends on the Mitrovic transfer I assume, which is something that seems to be elduing us evermore as the days of the window tick down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoppaz Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Highly rated just two years ago and knee injury has curtailed his career. If you take the fact I read elsewhere he made 18 sub appearances his goals per min on the pitch ain't too shabby... https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/yoshinori-muto-scouting-report-japanese-7177748.amp Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
