With our recent south Korean signings bringing our total of asian signings to 9 in the last 2 years the question arises are we getting value for money from this policy ? Looking at the players Individually
1.Kyogo (great success) 9/10
2.Maeda (great engine but limited technically) 7/10
3.Hatate (brilliant at times but hit n miss at other times ) 7/10
4. Iwata (capable versatile player but unspectacular) 6/10
5.Kobayashi(poor so far jury's out ) 3/10
6.Ideguchi( disastrous signing )0/10
7.Oh (promising signs jury still out though )5/10
8.Yang(too early to tell)
9.Kwon(too early to tell)
I would argue our most impressive signings(kyogo apart) over this period have been CCV ,Jota,Oriley(first season),Johnston,GG and Abada.None of whom are from the Asian Market so should we still be concentrating so heavily on this area ??

1.Kyogo 9/10 only thing that stops him from a 10 were his CL performances
2.Maeda 8/10 steps up in big games, looks like he's improved
3.Hatate 8.5/10
4. Iwata 6/10
5.Kobayashi 2/10
6.Ideguchi 1/10 unfortunate after that shocker of a tackle at Alloa
7.Oh 7/10 think he'll have a brilliant season
8.Yang(too early to tell)
9.Kwon(too early to tell)

So basically very close to my original scores? Also the score for OH here is based on what he might do rather than what he's actually delivered !!.Football is all about opinions which is what this forum should be about .Hatate is talented but not the maestro some are claiming on here imho
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Oh has 6 goals in 16 appearances.
501 minutes on the park.
less than 90 minutes per goal. Not bad for a guy who came in in January.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
What’s the ratio when he starts games versus coming on as a sub taking advantage of tired defensive legs and minds? IDK the answer but wouldn’t be surprised if there’s a difference.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
WTF? Why would you be surprised?
Of course there's a difference. But how many games did he start? Possible Ange damaged the guy's confidence keeping him on the bench. Is that possible?

Far too early to tell anything at this time of the season. We’ll be better placed to form a view in 6 months time. If folk want to express an opinion now then it could be a bit of premature ejaculation. Down Pointy!

Hatate is piiish, couldn't lace Cantwell's corset, if he was any good Ange would have taken him to Spurs, can't deny it even your own fans are saying it.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
So...corroboration of what I already revealed about Cantwell's under garments.

FWIW I agree with Ritchie
----------------------------------------------------------------------
another who doesn't watch
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I had no idea that watching a player was a pre requisite for casting opinion on his worthiness as a footballer.
Also, never actually read Ritchie's comments
