A great thing about Endo coming in, is the freeing up of other talent that would have been filling in for the 6. We have a lot of new players to get up to speed, but goodness, when things are all purring nicely, we will be some unit. An hour of one thing, and a sucker punch of the next 30 to 40 minutes.

[Bobsackamano]

Thanks for that - excellent. Really articulate guy and sounds like he knows his football properly. Good stuff. (Some clutter of shite in that room though!)

Yeah clicked on that with a heavy heart but he's the rarest of things, a youtuber who actually knows his stuff and doesn't come across as a nob.

[newterp]

I'm more excited about this signing because it's leading to a 12 round knockout match between Capon and Redric1970.

I'm flying in for that.

[GinKop]

Zen as a yen.

brilliant

[mattD]

Pray to god he actually plays, and isn't another pointless Arthur Melo style signing.

Hoping for some bargain magic from Liverpool again. So come on lads and lasses, what's he like?

Video decent, stats average, not injury prone, but who fucking knows as nobody had heard of him before yesterday. Hopefully he hits the ground running

[rafathegaffa83]

Welcome Endo and good luck

Whatever he is, has been, will be, just please don't let him be this. 

Seems like an intelligent, experienced player who's not afraid to make a tackle.

his English is better than mine

[Ghost Town]

Pray to god he actually plays, and isn't another pointless Arthur Melo style signing.

He's played virtually every game, every season for years. He's a player that plays because he becomes an intrinsic, inexpendable part of a midfield, doing all the work that is needed to help others thrive. And he's hard as nails.

He's not like bit part man Arthur Melo who struggled to become a fixture anywhere. Why even make the comparison? It's not like he has been bought on the last day or anything

Whatever he is, has been, will be, just please don't let him be this. 

As I understand it he's missed maybe one game a season at most and that was probably due to suspension. There are no guarantees but hopefully injuries won't be an issue. If they suddenly are that'll be prima facie evidence of a curse!

[MBL?]

With a load of people already writing him off before they've even seen him play, it's a fair point.

You are 100% right. One ore two bad performances to begin with and this will be a Lucas situation.

[anitrella]

Shiatsu and a happy endo

[the_red_pill]

Welcome Endo lad!
Prove 'em wrong and lead us to a title!

[TAA66]

Ello endo

You guys are fucking bell-Endos.

[Cozzymoto]

Welcome lad, hopefully he gets given a chance, cause he does look decent and doesn't end up being a Ben Davis or Melo signing just to be a last resort back up.

[JC the Messiah]

Nearly. Should be 選手 not くん - and I'd go with the original へ rather than に, but that's more a matter of choice. 

I thought 選手 is a touch formal, whereas くん is friendly and familiar, the same way as ちゃん can be used between friends (even male friends) - so went for that instead.

Alsii, the に is interchangeable in this case with the へ, but the に sounds better to the ear (for me).

[JC the Messiah]

Anyway, I've been out all evening. Did he have his medical? Has he signed?

By the look of it we'll all be fluent in Kanji and hiragana by the time this lad has finished playing here. What's the katakana for "he's boss, la"?

Welcome, Endo-chwan - you will always be our nakama!

[ThePoolMan]

It is  a concern to me - his age and whether he can cope with the pace and intensity of the Premiership - but f he can adapt well, then he may be able to do the job as a stopgap and then migrate into a Milner type of role to provide leadership and experience as well as filing in reliably for different roles in the team where needed.

[harleydanger]

GOJI!

[Melbred]

Flow on effect..maybe, just maybe we'll be able to see the best of Robbo again.

Genuinely smart signing the more that I think about it.

[BarryCrocker]

Here's a review from a fan site.

Wataru is a multi-talented genius gifted in drama and good at magic tricks. As cheering and energetic, Wataru values love and surprises a lot. His performances and bold and gorgeous, with cheerful and joyful singing and dance.

An idol with a flair for acting and magic tricks. Wataru is restless and full of energy. He also treasures love and surprises. With cheerful dancing and singing, he delivers bold, showy performances.

Sounds like his horoscope

Sounds like his horoscope

Some interesting trivia:

> Wataru is able to perform magic tricks.
> His signature is his full name, rendered in elaborate romaji.
> Wataru is apparently able to walk over water for at least fifteen meters.
> Wataru gives most people nicknames, claiming that he doesn't want to remember their names, but he makes some exceptions (notably for the others of the Five Eccentrics, the members of the Theatre Club, and his fellow fine member, Eichi).
> Wataru claims to have sentient hair.
> You can see an example of this in action in this CG from Dead End Land.
> Wataru is able to hypnotize people, as shown when he hypnotized Souma to ask him questions.

Wish I hadn't used up that wataru on about gag earlier; would've come in handy now

遠藤くん、リバプールにようこそ

That's a better thread title (just saying)

out of interest, what is "Endo-kun" and is it the same as "Endo-san"?
