MC Prussian Posted 28 August 2015 Share Posted 28 August 2015 No groans or steering wheels but the good news is that there does need to be reinforcement for its pink. As reported by Sportmediaset, the future of Yuto Nagatomo might be in England. The class fullback Japanese '85 currently in force at Inter, in fact, like to coach Claudio Ranieri, who has already coached in Milan in the 2011-2012 season, when he collected 43 caps and 2 goals in league and cup. The former coach of Fiorentina, Juventus and Roma would like to take him to Leicester City. For their part, Inter Roberto Mancini is looking for a left-back and are very close to the Brazilian Guilherme Siqueira, who grew up in the nursery of Milanese society. First, though, Inter must give the players made redundant, including Nagatomo, for which the interest of Rainier is alive and Foxes are ready to satisfy the technical Testaccio with an offer that will convince both the Nerazzurri player and give him an important reinforcement for its pink. Where's Jennifer Groans in all of this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sphericalfox Posted 29 August 2015 Share Posted 29 August 2015 left but he does right back as well apparently, not very good at either according to some inter fan He's clearly both a back-up RB/LB, and might get some cup games. Simpson will be loaned out or go perm to some CCC team methinks. If he's an upgrade to Simpson, then he should do fine. Also he'll boost the Asian attention factor that the club are keen to nurture. At the price he's been rumoured to be bought at, he'll return that no bother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wymsey Posted 29 August 2015 Share Posted 29 August 2015 Like Okazaki, Japanese players are known for their high work-rate and loyalty - but personally unsure what else he'll add what we haven't got. If he comes in, either Was or De Laet will possibly go out on loan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JP the Fox Posted 29 August 2015 Share Posted 29 August 2015 Maybe the plan is to keep dodoo, play schlupp left wing replacing mahrez if needs be and then when we get nagatamo we'll have two left backs and cover for each wing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've got two left backs already and if we're getting a right back he needs to be an improvement on De Laet who isn't defensively good enough. As for buying a player 'to boost the Asian attention factor' well, frankly, what a terrible reason to sign someone that is. Maybe this guy isn't as shit as he sounds but if he's not an improvement on De Laet he's a waste of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clever Fox Posted 29 August 2015 Share Posted 29 August 2015 i don't know if he's good or bad but it does seem more of a business decision rather than a football one. A squad player who also increases the Asian profile of the Club. That market is huge and if we can tap into it then the it can only be good for the Football Club and the business.

TJB-fox Posted 29 August 2015 Share Posted 29 August 2015 We need a winger and a right back, and although not his main positions, he can operate in both! Will definitely add something to the squad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Won't hurt the team at all having him here and probably as Shinji has shown could suit the PL better than Serie A. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't be silly, the club is not buying Japanese players to appeal to a Thai market. Makes as much sense as the club buying German players to appeal to the French market!! If he is to be bought it will be because the Manager and DOF want him to play. I would suggest he will be ahead of De Laet eventually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both he and the manager know each other already, so it's not just because of the Asian factor, it just lends to that fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThingsCouldGetMessi Posted 29 August 2015 Share Posted 29 August 2015 From what I have seen he can play both sides at full back or wing back and is either footed. He is also a fairly hard working player. With all this in mind, I would be happy to see him come in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbtcity Posted 29 August 2015 Share Posted 29 August 2015 I personally feel schlupp is wasted as an out and out lb maybe ranieri feels the same, fuchs and nagatomo scrapping it out for lb and schlupp left wing, the fact nagatomo can play various positions which ranieri has said he wants and he's played for him at inter I'd say it's a no brainer he must rate him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LCCFox96 Posted 29 August 2015 Share Posted 29 August 2015 Do we know if Nagatomo had a good spell under Ranieri at Inter? Played regularly, looked decent etc. For a confidence booster could that Inter fan not answer please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
