Bluearmyfox28 Posted 28 July 2019 Posted 28 July 2019 Buzzing for him, true club legend & always welcome back. It doesn’t state how long his contract is, but I hope he’s got himself a 2 year contract. Good luck Shinji & Thank you.
HankMarvin Posted 28 July 2019 Posted 28 July 2019 Would thought he could still do a Job in La Liga, 2nd tier a bit of a drop
Deeg67 Posted 28 July 2019 Posted 28 July 2019 Unfortunately Malaga is a rather tough team for me to root for. Their presidente is a racist bastard who called Catalans “scum” and their former manager Michel is an ex-Real man who said he’d rather give RM a guard of honor than help Barcelona win the league by beating them. Also, my Grandfather had a vacation house in Malaga and never once invited me. So their stunning riches to rags story feels like Karma to me. Still - it’s Shinji. For his sake, I’ll pull for them.
GDesign_JRC Posted 28 July 2019 Posted 28 July 2019 I live in a city whose team will play against Málaga, hope I finally get a picture with a Leicester legend like him!
kushiro Posted 28 July 2019 Author Posted 28 July 2019 Quite ironic really. Shinji's chant - 'Doo, doo, doo' - is based on the Black Lace track 'Do the Conga' from the 80s - one of those tracks designed for the discos of Torremolinos and the cheap Mediterranean holidays crowd (which included me). And now he's heading for the Costa Del Sol. Magnificent. If anyone fancies organizing an 80s revival trip to Malaga to coincide with his home debut I might even fly over and join you.
spacemunky Posted 28 July 2019 Posted 28 July 2019 Best of luck to Shinji. I will certainly be keeping an eye open for how he is doing there.
ithuriel Posted 28 July 2019 Posted 28 July 2019 Gonna miss his infectious smile and fully committed run himself into the ground football
pazzerfox Posted 28 July 2019 Posted 28 July 2019 The work ethic in the title winning team was relentless and Shinji typified it. Great guy, good player. Never will be forgotten.
Barwell Fox Posted 28 July 2019 Posted 28 July 2019 We wanted to get an American cocker spaniel and had to go to Southport to look at a newly born litter. One little pup came to greet us straight away, so we thought he is a keeper so we named him Kasper. One of the other males was learning to run but kept falling over so we had him as well and called him Shinji. No need to go to Spain to see Shinji - he is alive and well and ruling the streets of Barwell (the pigeons hate him).
urban.spaceman Posted 28 July 2019 Posted 28 July 2019 Oh my god I ****ing miss Shinji already. Under appreciated hero of the title win. That ****ing smile when he scored. That overhead kick too. When I get a dog I’m naming him Shinji Dogazaki. ****ing legend.
Blue ROI Posted 28 July 2019 Posted 28 July 2019 All the best to Okazaki. Played a big part in our greatest success. Impossible not to like the bloke.
Shane Posted 28 July 2019 Posted 28 July 2019 We should do something like the Anderlecht fans did for Wasyl and get a group of us to go watch him play

Hollyfox Posted 28 July 2019 Posted 28 July 2019 Out in Malaga next week and they're playing Majorca on Thursday night ???? Away ???????
norwichfox Posted 28 July 2019 Posted 28 July 2019 I'm pleased that he's found a new home, albeit at a lower level than he's capable of playing. Good luck to our smiling friend.
Tuna Posted 28 July 2019 Posted 28 July 2019 A season or two in the sun for our legend, well deserved.

I’m already in the planning stages for this, promised my son I’d take him wherever he ends up. Good job it’s not Japan or somewhere else that would require a remortgage to get to. I have stipulated that we can’t miss a Leicester match though and it has to be a school holiday, so the window of opportunity is restricted somewhat. I’m sure we’ll manage it though!
