Not sure where he would play - he's a forward, but is he a valid alternative to the three amigos? Does he score much?
Either way, I reckon in the same way that other clubs have tapped into a passionate fan base in Asia, buying a Japanese player will pay for itself in shirt sales alone.

I think it's the price that has probably attracted us, sign him for £7m and sell him a year or two later for £20m like what we did with Solanke.
Hopefully we'll set our sights a bit higher next time.

I’m really glad you have zero input into our scouting but you appear to not a f*cking clue
He is a quality player who is following the exact same path as Mane did but this time we are getting him before he goes to a big club and also getting him cheap because of a release clause
You were wetting yourself over players like Fernandes and I suspect it was more to do with him having a big price tag
If this lad was being bought for his value - £30-35 mil I have no doubt your response would be far different
One day you may trust that Klopp knows what he is doing but I doubt it

No one knows how he'll adapt to the EPL.. But he looks very similar to Bernado Silva in style of play.

No way is he as skilful as Silva, from what I've seen of this lad he just gets his head down and runs like that lad United got from Swansea. Everyone has got an opinion I suppose, mine is we saw his buy out clause and thought we couldn't really lose at that price. If he doesn't work out we can do a Solanke and sell him on for a tidy profit plus we'll no doubt shift a fair few shirts in Japan, call me cynical but that's what I reckon the clubs thought process was on this one.
I don't see him being good enough to take Mane or Salah's place in our best XI.

You watched a different game to me then, Salzburg looked very ordinary except for a 20 minute spell either side of half time where they scored 3 quick goals, once we recomposed ourselves we were all over them again. They did look dangerous going forward but that wasn't really down to any one man, and let's face if there is a jewel in their attack/crown its Haarland.
