Imagine if we had a team full of Sakamoto's particularly with his work rate. Can our scouts look at more Japanese players, please? I also thought the lad at Blackburn looked quite good against us the other week. Ohashi who recently scored against Bristol City.

I didn’t realise his previous stats were actually pretty underwhelming only started playing regularly at 23 not so many goals or assists so he’s been some find !
Japanese football can be a bit different- some players choose to go the University route instead of pro youth teams and play for their uni alongside studying, then join a pro team afterwards, which is why they only start playing at 22/23 years old. Tats did that, think the likes of Mitoma and Kyogo also did similar, which is why they all broke out pretty late.
Hats off to him, he's improved his output like he needed to do. I think some of the improvement is tactical too. He wouldn't have scored or even been in the position to score Friday night's goal.

I've noticed how he comes off the wing occasionally now and pops up around the edge of the box looking to pick up the bits and pieces.
A typical example being our second goal at Wrexham.
