Please please please let this happen!
I know this is only in the Metro and is likely to be a load of rubbish but this would be such an incredible move for the club on and off the field.

A Honda Accord?

Well unlike in previous seasons it looks like he's going somewhere if even CSKA are saying contract talks have broken down. Not just agent talk.
If he's moving then testing the water sounds like a sensible idea to me.

Is that a reference to Charlie Adam?

Honda was quite good in the last world cup for Japan but would rather have someone in for Downing and another striker and ship Borini out.

If we sign honda and a new cb that would be a very good summer

where will he play though? i think i'd rather see us save the wages on a top quality winger

He has 12 months left on his contract not 6. Would be an amazing signing but i feel it's just the same as Turan.

It will be media rubbish.
Probably his agent trying to drum up interest.

Honda is quite versatile from what i remember he can play both wings aswell as a 2nd striker or deep lying play maker but is naturally an attacking center midfielder.
Hes comfortable with the ball can pick a pass and good with pass and move one touch stuff so would suit our style. Also scores goals as he has a sweet left foot. He would just be more competition for Allen/Hendo and Gerrard.
I think hes a good enough player but you never know, still if hes in the last few months of his contract he only cost CSKA around 6m so he should be cheap. He is one of the best asian players around so for marketing purposes should be even more valuable to the club off the pitch. So hes worth a risk even if he ends up as a squad player imo our squad is small.

hes out of contract at the end of the russian season, so if we wanted him for the start of the season, hed cost a small fee, which would seem to make financial sense, but i just cant really see the move happening myself
