This is a solid young, hard working defensive player, with an amazing work ethic. Put some English influence into his game and he will be solid. This purchase should happen. Young, affordable and willing to work hard and fight his way into the team.

Watched about 15 mins of Tomiyasu clips and it all comes off as very Foyth-ish, even their style of defending. And I’m sure he made errors that obviously no comp maker would show, but I can live with that.Foyth's a different sort of player from the sound of it. Creative on the ball but a calamity waiting to happen.
There are worse things than a defender whose strength is defending.
I remember when we signed Son I thought “he’s ok but not great. Comes cheap”.
I like the idea of signing this guy. With his age and at the prices quoted he is worth a punt.
from a financial side haping a quality Japanese player is not about shirt sales. It’s about generating interesting in the club from Japan to then get TV exposure. clubs earn a stack more money from TV then fans buying stuff.
if we get a good young RB at a cheap price and had the added benefit of increased exposure to Japan, I think this is a great deal.
Unlikely then I feelThe price of a player is a distraction, in this players case the issue isn't whether we would pay, it's whether he would come to a club not in CL.
Am sure defending is a priority. However, it is crucial for defenders to play out from the back thesedays too. Otherwise we will go long all the time. It is acceptable in the 80's, but not anymoreWatched about 15 mins of Tomiyasu clips and it all comes off as very Foyth-ish, even their style of defending.

None of our defenders carry the ball out of defence, it’s been a massive problem since Vertonghen declined, Foyth had it and so does this guy.
Defenders can’t just “defend” anymore. They are too crucial to build up. You can see the difference between Maguire and Mings for England.
Hopefully rap this up quickly.
Serious question alert - is this guy any good?
He has serious potential and is hard working and young. He will do well with Spurs.Serious question alert - is this guy any good?
