    Liverpool could do alot worse than that Lee lad at Bolton tbh. Does open up huge revenue streams though so he has a point.

    Shocker that a sponsor wants us to sign a player in a continent that has commercial value :rolleyes If the right player was available then fair enough, but I wouldn't just sign an Asian to boost shirt sales in China, Korea and Japan. Of course if they'd like to cough up the transfer fee and wages for an Asian player then why not

    What next? Our sponsors wanting us to do Asian and American tours?

    As long as we don't do a United and sign some Chinese lad who's conference standard, just for appearances.

    Rate Honda, decent player wouldn't mind him being brought in.

    Honda or Lee... I really can't think of anyone else good enough.

    I like that Ki fella at Celtic. He's pretty young and I'd guess he's fecking huge in Asia.

    I'd go for Suzuki or Kawasaki, both good engines in 'em, ideal midfielders. :)

    Wouldn't matter IF we say "fine, we'll sign an Asian but YOU'RE PAYING. If they want He Du Suk from South Korea then fine, they pick up the costs. If we want Honda or someone who might be worthwhile then they still pick up the costs but we get someone worthwhile.

    Didn't Japanese journos follow Inamoto around when he was here (England not at Liverpool), even when he didn't play?

    Quite, Dong was truly dreadful and clearly a marketing tool. Park's been okay though, never World Class or anything more than a reliable option with a great engine, but he's seldom let us down.

    Being forced to buy someone for commercial reasons? Football these days.

    I'd rather not sign anyone for marketing reasons, but one or two would be okay if they were decent players and added to the squad.

    It's cheeky though, being told to by someone who may not benefit your team.

    I'm sure we'd all agree with that, but big business runs the game now. I'm sure that's why United are going to the USA for pre-season for the second year in a row.

    He who pays the piper . . . :(

    This kind of thing worries me.

    Are these people here for footballing success or bumping up the coffers?

    :laugh: he's amazing, Kenny get the kid in the academy NOW!

    That goal he scores on about 3.04 is astomishing, where he sort of back-heel flicks it over his and the goalies head.
