Looks like a decent signing on the face of it. I was excited by Henrikson signing though, and those expectations have come right back down to earth! 

Needed a winger, although Hedges turned into prime Ronaldo against Hull, now we have one.

Henriksson will be a good player I recon. Once he gets up to speed. Might even take a season.

From what I saw on YouTube he's an 8 or a 10 - not a fullback

Almost a full 11 of new signings. Not sure if we've improved overall though 

[Tom]

Have we got a new prop for the signings or have they all had the retro ball?

Minor note I’m glad we aren’t trying to be funny with announcement videos, keep it simple and classy.

Looks a player this one from what we’ve seen

[DutchRover]

Genuinely exciting signing this one, looks like a gem of a player and judging by Legia fan reaction we robbed them too.

Sorry, 14 goals and 14 assists.

He’s been on the wing for Legia.

Exactly he has. His YouTube video shows what that he attacking wide player. Can play on either side. More options and versatile..

Leonard - I thought we were getting a finisher. He’s missed more than his share of chances. He doesn’t look a finisher to me and apart from that he offers very little in the way of pace or physicality. 

Good first touch, takes up dangerous positions and a nice weight of pass on him. He's not a clinical finisher, but if you put him out wide in the 3 behind the #9 I think he'd contribute. 

That's where I want Ohashi too - linking up play (albeit not his strong suit) and drifting in at the far post.

Like your optimism but he’s rubbish, will end up lower level league 1 at best.

He’s very two-footed. Seem very comfortable on both sides.

He will now because he's missed the best part of 2 seasons with a recurring back injury.

Prior to that he had a good shot at making it at this level.

Welcome Ryoya! 🇯🇵

He’ll be our new centre back then.

[Paul Mani]

The direct comparison stuff is a little odd. Truth is we’ve completely changed tact. The profile of player we want is like chalk and cheese to what we had. 

[TimmyJimmy]

Common, I can't be the first - Ryoya of the Rovers.

[Eldirk]

Anyone heard anything about this chap?

Nixon just link us with this striker. Said we were in France watching him this weekend

From the fevered passion of Legia's legendary Ultras to the quiet grumbling of Ewood Park. Welcome lad!

Football insider where linking Celtic with a move for him earlier

Celtic are looking at him, £5M this one isn’t ever happening.. if so why didn’t JDT or Eustace never get this backing? 

[JHRover]

made 53 appearances in 4 years at Lorient beyond which he's been loaned out to 3 clubs I've never heard of. 

Ambitious? £5 million? Really?

Not according to this chap (Tweet as of yesterday). Think Nixon is pulling that figure out of thin air.

More our price range:

Another full back.  Why aren't we signing Another forward 

14 goals 14 assists last season. And the player himself has said he prefers to play in attack .
