DesertDawg Posted August 13, 2019 Posted August 13, 2019 He was at Tynecastle on Saturday. For a young guy who constantly runs and never throws in the towel he must have wondered what was happening on the pitch. Let's hope he signs a loan deal. Quote
Sagan Posted August 13, 2019 Posted August 13, 2019 He'll not understand a word levein says. I think he'll do well here. Quote
Eddie The Eagle Posted August 13, 2019 Posted August 13, 2019 Waiting on a work permit for him Under exceptional talent Quote

BigStein Posted August 13, 2019 Posted August 13, 2019 One of the best young players at one of the best academies in the world and he's already performed well for one of Japans top teams. Would be pleasantly surprised to say the least, this lad could be our best player Quote

innerjambo Posted August 13, 2019 Posted August 13, 2019 Now we just need Notts to keep us posted on how close this deal is to getting over the line.......pretty please! Quote

Signed last week and waiting to be announced......... more through the revolving door. Man City project- just signed then loaned. Looks the business and played and scored in J-League Quote

I hope this isn't the youtube curse again but that video Just show the beaks that video and refuse to leave until they acknowledge that if he was signing for an OF bigot or other, he'd be a shoe in. Looks a real wonderkid this one, must say. Quote
gashauskis9 Posted August 13, 2019 Posted August 13, 2019 From the land of the rising sun to the land of the rising hoofball. Quote
TheBigO Posted August 13, 2019 Posted August 13, 2019 I might have made this up. See if a player gets sold for a bundle, do the clubs he was on loan at get a wee split of that? Something about a development fee type thing? Quote
Romulus Posted August 13, 2019 Posted August 13, 2019 I know there was some suggestion of an affiliation with City going forward. Perhaps the start of it? Quote
doctor jambo Posted August 13, 2019 Posted August 13, 2019 You'd think that being signed for Man City from the J-League should be enough to skoosh the WP panel. Rantic would walk this through the process Quote
RobNox Posted August 13, 2019 Posted August 13, 2019 Can we shorten his name to Ryo Meshi? Has a ring about it! Quote

No it’s just his first club or clubs that get a percentage I think. Quote
TheBigO Posted August 13, 2019 Posted August 13, 2019 Wonder what his English is like? Not always that important, but would surely help the kid if he speaks a bit. Does Austin speak Japanese? Quote

avhudtheteeshirt Posted August 13, 2019 Posted August 13, 2019 Could be a good signing very much in the Naismith mould, not sure if he will get stage fright at Tynecastle as the crowds where he was playing non existent! Looks a good finisher and reader of the game, hope he fits in???? Quote

That must be an appeal you'd think. Not too many teams in Europe will have a coach who speaks Japanese! Austin is quite an impressive dude actually. Quote
londonjambo Posted August 13, 2019 Posted August 13, 2019 Surely he would have needed a work permit to play at Citeh ? So I am guessing that they would have been pretty confident about getting one. Indeed, we may be leaving all that to them, no ? Quote

BarneyBattles44 Posted August 13, 2019 Posted August 13, 2019 (edited) Man City only signed him 4 days ago i thought that they are waiting on a permit adding Hearts into it as a part of a pre arranged deal ? Edited August 13, 2019 by BarneyBattles44 Quote

I think Smith tends to translate what Daly says, passes it on to Washington, who puts it in English, passes it to Naismith, who will convert it to Scottish and Austin will then get it into Japanese for Ryo. Easy. Maybe Ryo should just learn the Scottish/N Irish pronunciation of long throw. Be quicker. Quote

Maybe something to do with needing to play a certain amount of UK first team games as a percentage in order to be granted a work permit? Hearts give that opportunity at a reasonable level. Given that City don't think him ready for their side yet, this would make sense but then again, this isn't champ man and I'm not totally sure, just a thought. Quote

Or dinnae worry Berra will boot it up the park to the big lad, who will then feck it up by falling down.So just run aboot the park like Clair not doing anything constructive. Start being cocky and scoring goals then you will be at left back. Edited August 13, 2019 by maroonlegions Quote

If i am right in my thinking (i may be wrong) but i am sure what normally happens is clubs like city and united buy kids and send them to countries like Netherlands or Belguim as it is easier to get a permit/quicker to become a EU citizen if they are not one. i might be way off but i am pretty sure i was told that at some point. Quote
TheBigO Posted August 13, 2019 Posted August 13, 2019 I believe the hold up isn't so much to do with the work permit. Levein and Anne Budge are sitting through a double bill of Lost in Translation and Detective Pikachu before making a final decision. Downloaded it on Wyscout and it's buffering like the bars, so taking a while to get the deal over the line. Quote

Yup, they have a few clubs in the Netherlands and Belgium they do this with. Maybe the thought process is, with brexit looming, that having a club in the UK playing at a decent level may be worthwhile in th long run as no-one knows what credit will do for work permits etc. Quote

londonjambo Posted August 13, 2019 Posted August 13, 2019 Of course there is a certain poster and well known Drew Busby fan who speaks very good Japanese. Perhaps an opening for her as a translator ... Quote
