Great video, such a humble guy, still can't work out he's being overlooked for the National Team, their loss i suppose!

The levels we are at now! We’ve signed kitman from Japan from Grampus 8. Top flight club and where Gary Lineker used to play.

Whooah kitman in the laundry, he never gives the shirts away ......1 2 3 4

Those of us (including me) who were slightly miffed at City Unseen being a bit late can now see very clearly why...

Exceptional human being, will be remembered for many a year after his time in Cov. Interesting that he said he doesn't miss Japan, just Japanese food, would have liked to hear more about that (and wonder if that was just bravado or if he actually meant it).

And isn't it great that this video kind of shows the potential of the club too, as well as celebrating one of our best, and certainly most likeable players.

Said it before but his performance up at Sunderland in the play off semi-final second leg must rate as one of the best individual contributions in a City shirt that I have ever seen.

This season he has confirmed his status in an improving squad and has risen to the challenge of having competition for his starting spot from a £16m premier league player.

Tbh I’m not sure I should really care if he’s a nice bloke but he does seem to be a special human being too.

Mentioned it before on here but there were quite a few comparing his style of play to Bernardo Silva that night. He’s such a wonderful player and character. Love him and can’t wait for the first time that he leaves a Premier League left-back on his backside.

Or didn’t when he fucked his big toe up

Brilliant that.

Or team news

You can’t not love the bloke.

I know there may be better players out there on the wing but between Tats and Mason-Clark, the personality and flair they bring, I genuinely hope they light up the Premier League next year as our main wingers and get the plaudits they deserve: what a story it would be

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

Great video.

Isn't it the Japanese F1 Grand Prix this weekend, no game, I wonder if Tats will be over there.

Because they have a lot of top flight playing wingers ahead of him

no they don’t there’s lots from worse leagues

Dele Adebola is at risk of being dislodged as my favourite post-2001 player by this guy. Trickery, work rate, great story and personality.

It almost feels like a put down to call him a cult hero as that’s more used for players who weren’t actually that good.

 

[CovveeBreak]

Really hope this is the start of more content like this. Such a great watch. My guess this is why unseen was late / smushed together.

Unseen becoming a bit samey now - so would love more of these player stories as mini docu’s.

 

[Winny the Bish]

Brilliant video. 250k views in 24 hours too.

Would love to see more of these on other players.

I guess he was bought for a small fee and no one expected him to be this good. He does seem to be a player with no haters too.

What i also like is how he is a great example of the need to still have boots on the ground scouting rather than pure data. Guy was spotted while originally there to watch someone else and i get it, i don't think a player like him can be summed up in stats and graphs.

Not everything that matters can be measured.

But Sheffield United's AI driven recruitment is working so well....

That’s an unacceptable smear of Vladimir Gadzhev.

That's what I tell the missus.

What a great video. Just love Tats. His skill, his work rate and now his gentleness and humility. It’s a small thing but I love that he has a nice car but not a super flashy one. Love the link with Haas too and hope that can grow a bit. It has a great resonance with our history as a city. Well done to the media team for doing this. More would be great where they are interesting stories to tell.

 

[wingy]

Wonder where he is F1 tomorrow or full weekend,or Scotland tonight/England Tuesday?
