Watched a few of his highlights - mixed opinion of him in the air (particularly defensively). He takes a decent corner. Despite it saying his preferred foot is his right, it looks like it is clearly his left (takes corners with his left)
We do have a lot of Japanese visit the area - Warwick Castle, Stratford upon Avon etc. You may well get a handful of those visitors who like football and know of him. If I was in Japan and got the chance to go to a local game, I would (particularly if there was a British player I knew).
Yakubu had a lot of experience at a higher level, too - doesn't mean we should have signed him. The only forward at his age who would have been an asset, that I can think of recently, is Zlatan.
Edit: oh, and obviously CR7 !!!
Vaguely remember reading MR had said something about him missing (non injury related?, but thought that was a week or more ago) I stress - vague recollection!
Can I suggest we put a line through any JCS suggestions (#madeofglass)
