You'd think Chelsea would go for Honda if they were being pressured to have a marketable Japanese face wearing a Yokohama Tire sponsored shirt.

How has he been for Milan? I thought he had a lot of injury issues.

Arsenal definitely need a CDM, its the glaring position that needs covered, coq or not. I really don't see Cech coming in though and who the hell else is available that is better than the current two keepers?

He was great until he went to the Asian Cup and since then he's been hurt a lot. With a real manager instead of Inzaghi he'd be doing quite well, I think. He's a good, if frail, player.

Unless you're an Eden Hazard level 22 year old going to Chelsea is a terrible idea (and it is even if you're an Eden Hazard level 22 year old, because they are loving cunts)

If Chelsea bought him he'd probably end up out on a loan spell at the arse end of the table.

Where he'd rot when Chels refuse to let him move on or just start

As opposed to going directly to a club at the arse end of the table, performing above his station, and getting sold to a decent team for a big fee

EDIT: regarding Honda

He's also got Beckham level advertising clout in Japan, which would be far more important to Yokohama Tire.

I just investigated and it turns out I've seen Muto in the flesh twice, and that I can't even remember him at all says a lot. Like every other native J-League striker, he's probably a try hard with a terminal fear of shooting.

His knee is busted, right? I've always rated him, but I don't think he would be an overnight success in the Premier League.

Moyes did this at Everton and for some reason I'll never understand (Ryan Giggs? any one of the official club partners exerting pressure? who knows?) tried to make him into a deep DM at United.

yeah totally. but if you go "hey I can't play longballs because the official paperclip partner of Manchester United says its buyers identify only with balls on the ground" that doesn't mean stick Fellaini at DM. There were two weird parts. Not playing him behind the forward and then playing him at DM.

I'm pretty sure Moyes got slated mainly when we lost a lot and finished 7th

if he'd not done that it would have abrogated a great deal of the criticism

The best part is that Fellaini didn't like his advanced role at Everton, and said his natural role was defensive midfield

Yeah, the only winner of him going to Chelsea would be me getting to see a tour of the country.

He'd be a fool to go.

Though I think Kagawa also felt pressured to sign with a big English club but he had two years of living abroad under his belt.

The conclusion of the J League experts I know is the same as TRPs except being based on knowledge and having watched the player.
