Got to say I knew bugger all about this player before today.

Found this YouTube vlog from a Japanese LFC fan who might help us understand what we can look forward to  :buttrock   

He's obviously been following Endo's performance in Germany and the national team . Deffo worth listening to his opinion.

Watched that and seen another one where they had a pundit who works in the Bundesliga as a guest. He's got good reviews and seems highly thought of. Can play a number of roles and seems to be a leader so after listening to those lads I'm thinking we got one up on Madrid!!

Funny enough can't find many footballing videos of him that actually show him doing the dirty work or playing as a CH. Seem to be the same clips on all his videos showing a few goals and assists but not much interceptions, Blocks or tackles.  He's like a kinder egg and we won't know what we get till he takes to the field. If all was good with the medical today then he should be registered and on the bench Saturday.

It's a big challenge considering where he earned his experience and his age now. Apparently its a dream to play in the prem so hopefully he will give it everything and hit the ground running. Best of luck to him!!

If there is a flaw it would be his pass percentage which is 78% compared to Caicedo’s 87%. If I remember correctly Gini was 90%+. Maybe with better players making better runs his pass percentage goes up.

Certainly his “warrior” spirit will banish last year’s timid no intensity displays which were awful to watch.

Such a great man manager, instantly makes the guy feel at home and wanted. You can see why so many players love to work with him.

I don’t believe he needs to be fantastic to make a fantastic difference to the team, he just needs to be tidy and committed to the position and it will free up the rest of the players that can turn games. If what we read turns out to be true, he will be a club hero on industry alone.

Welcome to the club, will bring much needed balance to the team.

Excellent, he doesn't hang on to the ball for more than a second.

Thought he should have taken one for the team and fouled Hojbjerg just in the lead up to the 2nd goal on the weekend.
