SIGNED!!!! - Tatsuhiro Sakamoto (12 Viewers)

[Sky Blue Pete]

Maybe, just maybe, he's here on trial, with a view to a permanent move?

Not saying I've heard anything but it might explain why nothing has been announced yet.

Unlikely

My mate from Portugal said he saw some Coventry players around today and when he described them to me he said 2 that I didnt recognise, he said one was Japanese (pretty much Tatushiro) and he described the other as about average height 5ft9, short hair, goatee, lean build muscular ish build

I've know we have a Greek trialist and he is being looked after by a family in Coventry, not sure this is the guy

He’s surely already contract to another club

 

[fatso]

Oh dear, that's going to upset some lightweights.

 

[ms639]

He's with the squad in Portugal already so this must've been worked on for a while , another one that no one knew anything about
Absolutely love the way we're doing our business

GIMOC knew about it for weeks

I shan’t play it out loud. It’s a favourite of the mrs and I’ll be hearing for the rest of the day.

 

[fatso]

He could be, but that doesn't stop us from having a butchers at him before concluding a transfer. Especially if a fee in excess of £1m has been touted for a guy no one had ever heard of before yesterday.

How many contracted players in Europe's top flight leagues go on trial before a move?

No idea, but I wouldn't say he's been playing in a top quality league, Infact didn't he just get relegated?

As I said, I'm just putting forward a possible reason why nothing has been announced yet. Nothing more than that.

The scouting team will have worked on him and know exactly who he is. Had many heard of Hamer before his transfer? He'll have signed. Expect an announcement in the next couple of days.

I hope your right. Let's hope he's better than Roger Van Gool, another foreign winger we all got excited about back in the day.
Or players like Dacosta or Dinanga or any of the others our scouting team identified.
It doesn't hurt to have a look in pre season.

Greek trialist? Know anymore?

The last foreign winger I got excited about was Kastaneer, that had an even worse outcome.

This is winning for me (and I posted it about an your ago )

 

[CovLad94]

Cov media very quiet, is there more than 1 new player (sakamoto) there that they don't want to reveal? Seems odd they haven't done the usual checking in posts etc

I still laugh at that sliding tackle!!!

But as @mark82 said, "the scouting team would of worked on him and new exactly who he is"

Maybe MR said. " Ffs let's get them in and have a look first next time!"

 

[Calista]

Has a lovely wand of a left foot

Or as per the article, 'the right foot works properly, and the lefty is just for higher-caliber numbers'

I think Robins etc had heard of him before yesterday mate

 

[Gynnsthetonic]

All I was told was that the club inspected the house and insisted he has the bigger room as the club want to look after him as he's a hot prospect

Dinanga is Irish

 

[fatso]

Of course, but I doubt many (if any) on here had.

Interesting

 

[fatso]

Dinanga is Irish

Yep, foreigner, as in not British.

Maybe Eccles?

There was a lad on the bench at Leamington yesterday with a Greek sounding name.

Edit: Constantine Popadopalis

 

[procdoc]

Of course, but I doubt many (if any) on here had.

Many on here would have also taken the first offer for Vik and some would have not signed Vik at all in the first place so I take it with a pinch of salt

I'm just saying he won't be on trial. Whether he's good or not, adapts or not are completely different questions.

 

[Jcap]

Why would he now leave ? He can see players, good players being signed, he likes it here, so unless there is serious interest from the PL or top end European clubs sure he will sign up and stay.

It is dragging on a bit I know but he has travelled to Portugal despite an on going ankle issue so for me the signs look good.

I sincerely hope he doesn’t leave. Just something about his highlight reel - his control
In tight situations and that he looked like he could pick a pass. Just reminded me of Hamer. Like I say hope not and would love to see them both playing together - what a mouth watering prospect that would be.

[long way home]

I would not be shocked if he will be 1 of those in the pictures for the new kit launch.

 

[shmmeee]

Like this. We should steal it.

I'm glad none of you write music because all your songs are absolute shite.

Looking forward to your contribution

Why do we seem to have big hold ups with announcements, other teams seem to just fire them. We’ve literally got a player that’s been quoted as costing 2m€ in Portugal with us for pre season and still not announced officially, meanwhile Boro announcing players by the day, saying they’re joining the team abroad soon.
