Any truth in the Afolayan rumours @unleaded or is Morishito our new RW?

Ohashi finally got a partner .. they been looking for another Japanese player ever since Yuki arrived ….. The least they will give you is hard work .. Been an exciting window up to now … Ismael Adam Owen & Gestede have done well on the limited budget … Like someone else said I love Japanese players .. they are exciting and a rising power in football …. More the merrier…..

Not me, rated him. Unmatched work ethic.

Can he take set pieces? We're leaving so many goals on the table by having Cantwell as our primary set piece taker - we're such a big team now. He put in on good ball yesterday and Hyam hit the bar - it doesn't take a rocket scientist to realise a good set piece taker would make us a nightmare to play against.

The second goal yesterday was so clever and I can only appreciate how good it was after seeing a replay this morning. The way Cantwell gives the Hull players the 'eyes' and plays Hedges in is absolute quality. The weight of the pass was perfect. And if that is a training ground routine the much maligned Ben Benson should take great credit.

He had 51 games, 14 goals and 6 assists in Polish league, cup and conference league (Europe) last season

Ooof.

Having said that, they've not exactly stormed the early part of the season so far, have they? If we were to go on a decent run, I'm sure we would see a lot more excitement and energy post match from the players. Anyway, most of them have only just been introduced, so it is a little early for bonding and 'team spirit' to have developed.

As they used to say on Stingray "Anything can happen in the next half hour!" I suppose Gestede was right to a degree when he said the window was going to be "exciting" if you can call being stuck on a runaway train or a car where the brakes have gone, and you're wondering whether you're going to survive or be completely wiped out, "exciting".

Cantwell will be playing the bulk of the games in behind the striker, he's captain he'll play whenever he's fit. Any signings have to be playing in other positions. This guy must be playing on the wing.

He wouldn't score 18 goals, but he'd have far more Goals and Assists than Gallagher. He leads the line better than anyone we've had for a while - he holds the ball up and brings others into play. He's a 6'5" CF that wins almost everything in the air and we've never, ever consistently crossed the ball into the box for him. Only Brittain was able to put in good service for him - Hedges and Dolan just hit and hoped on their crosses. As for yesterday - it's very difficult to get back onside once you've made your run. I'd have to look at it again, but Cantwell was showboating at that point - he could have put Hendrikson in for a clear chance in the second half, but wanted another goal - and delayed the pass. Also it was saved by the GK. I'm not saying he's the next Drogba, but the disrespect he gets on here is baffling. We're in the Championship, all of our players have serious flaws, yet Gueye is one of the few that seems to be constantly dragged over the coals for his.

All competitions I believe

I saw this get corrected to 13 and 13 somewhere….

It was probably more Waggott and Venus. Mowbray was there for a while though I think. Kept them up initially then bombed when handed the job permanently

The total Legia wage bill is less than 40% that of Rovers so there is probably a lot of scope to pay Morishita a significant wage rise and keep under the club's newly imposed 10k per week maximum. Pasha's attitude towards players is that they are commodities so anything is possible this week.

Agreed - of course we should consider context (if there’s ongoing beef between the fanbase and a player etc) but when a transfer like this breaks and the fans come out going mad because “he’s our best player” then that’s a great sign. Defo a winger too, based on that video. Looks like he can play of the left or right and off both feet. Hopefully get this one done 🤞🏽

He will play on the left hedges will be moved to the right.

Well Legia fans seems more pissed off that he is leaving, than Rovers fans seeing Travis leave 😂

Not shooting the messenger but about the same as Dolan then and most people reckoned he was crap?

If he were younger I'd loan him out to a League 1 club but he's 27 or 28?

6 goals 5 assists last season. Still got a few years on his contract with Legia so not sure he'll be a cheap one. Do they have financial issues?

That's odd seeing as TM bailed out there before the Cov fans got chance to lynch him.

Surely in the general scheme of things another left sided player is the last thing we need with Kargbo, De Neve and Hedges already on the books? (Albeit the latter two are crap)

Seems like a fairly nomadic career has kicked on since he was played as a winger. I dont think he will be signing as anything but a winger. You mentioned Legia fans going mad @Paul Mani and I have seen similar. I have sometimes been criticised but its always a good indication IMO, whether it be good or bad. He seems very popular there. Reason I mention is that one person said that he is their only winger.
