Hardly convincing. It sounds like a local election return - getting elected on 33% of the vote and less than 10% of the electorate. The designs were poor. It should have been handed over to the fans.

Yes. International caps and Bundesliga

Breaks the mould of our current signings in height and age. No sell on potential either.

nixon,he might finally have got one right,though imo we need a centre forward more than another winger

Probably injured knowing how we operate

I'm in, anything that doesn't go to "them"!

Where's the Miyoshi link coming from? Does he pass the ESC criteria?

Wasn't in the Bochum squad at the weekend so suggests something may be happening?

Commercially this could be interesting with Rovers having 2 Japanese internationals in the squad...

i think the club was in right mess about that time,with strange chinese owners and a stand that failed a safety check

He left when they got relegated. From the prospect of playing in League One to playing in the Bundesliga, I imagine he was keen for the move. Having said that, did not appear to do amazingly for Bochum and they got relegated. Relegated sides in European leagues are our favourite thing. 😁

I believe he had a relegation clause in his contract. I reckon he'd be a decent signing, done it at this level before and also brings some experience.

Had a relegation release clause. Would be a good signing. Did Nicko's article suggest it's close or just one we're interested in?

Why did Koji Miyosh leave Birmingham, he was a standout player for them and only sold for 400k

been injured and has`nt played since late last season ,so he`s going to need a few weeks to get match fit

miyoshi was very useful when he played for birmingham,it would be a great signing,i think he`s above our level sadly

Were we not linked with him last year? Always liked the look of him, but doesn't fit the sell on strategy.

Koji Miyoshi is a great signing. Fair play.

VI had a good eye for starting 11 at the end of last season. He’s had an opportunity to add some guys that he believes will be good additions to the club. This is a tough opener; and, several new guys who should figure prominently later in the season might not be quite ready. A 2-2 outcome would be quite a coup. I can’t wait for it to start!

welcome to our gothenburg genius,another one in vals 6 foot army😁

The winger we are interested in is Koji Miyoshi apparently. Fee could be up to £2m Only 5'6" though so could be porkies !

Refuse to believe jack walker tribute was 3rd in mind...

Il be honest I don't remember Mowbray moaning about the lack of funds or being critical of the ownership until that January window in his last season when communication had been cut and he knew he wasn't getting a new contract. Stand to be corrected if you can share a few links to articles/interviews of him urging the owners to spend or being critical pre that January ? He did a similar thing with Sunderland agreed to become their head coach on the basis he wouldn't have much control over recruitment and then when sacked he did an interview criticising it. The season he finished 15th when we had Harvey Elliot he should have been replaced that summer.

Can't see him starting perhaps last 20 depending on how the game turns. He's not had as much preseason and gelling as the rest of the squad so probably more minutes on the training pitch then unleash the OZZ!!!

The real test of all these out of the country newbies even if they can match the physical stuff is the mental side of it. A goal down inside 10 mins at a place like a buzzing Hawthorns against a strong side or two down at home to a Birmingham side with an extra 4k tourists behind the goal they are attacking ! The Ewood jury will sniff out the men from the boys pretty quickly.
