He's 27 next month and a free agent who's surprisingly still not been snapped up, was gonna create a thread ages ago but heard false rumours he'd agreed to join Dortmund, we've been linked in the past with him and he seems to still be available...


I like him a lot I'm not saying he's world class or owt but he could do a great job I think after seeing him a good amount these past few seasons, we don't need a whole squad of big name world class players, it's most important we have players who are committed consistent and effective, personally I believe he could fit that mould and the fact he's Japanese means I'm going to racially stereotype him... no not as having some strange perversions in his spare time, but as being hardworking professional and adaptable in training.

He's quite quick has great agility/balance and isn't small, he's an intelligent player always finding space in the middle of the park, he's top at taking up positions offering himself up to receive a pass, plus when he gets the ball he's actually competent on the half turn a good progressive dribbler who has a good eye for a pass. He seems both footed as far as I've been able to tell whenever I've watched him, he likes making runs into the box as well not just for a shot but sometimes to set up a teammate up too.

I'm very surprised no big teams have taken a gamble on him as he can play centrally or out wide on the left sometimes, when I've seen him out wide he tends to come inside a lot to find space though so he'd probably be seen as a more central player here, I've posted this because I was looking at a list of free agents I genuinely thought he was the best option of the lot... Didn't realise he was still available and surprisingly there's no thread for him on here.

I've talked to my mate a good few times about him about him we both like him, when he was linked with Dortmund I wrongly though the agreement for his move had already happened.

Honestly I think he could do a good honest reliable job for us... Thoughts?

My thoughts are that if 27 year old players of his level, who no other big club in Europe is after, would be of interest to us just because he is cheap I would start to get worried for real about what we are doing this summer. Luckily I dont think we have any interest in signing Kamada.

One word pal...

Fernandinho.
 
Did you also wonder why no one went after Akanji until we went in in the final week of the last summer window?
He wasn't available and no-one really knew he was a target. Same as no-one really knew Bernardo Silva actually was. Reuben Dias was fortunate as Benfica didn't qualify for the Champions League.
 
We had targetted him for a while.

But the point I'm making is, none of us really knew who he was. He was 27-28 years of age when we signed him and no other big club were interested in him. Same as Kamada.

Not saying Kamada is a world beater or will turn out as good as Fernandinho, just proving a point to the previous poster that sometimes players that are very good can slip through the net from time to time.
 
Apparently was AC Milan bound but that move broke down.
Yeah, even AC Milan pulled out of the deal, despite him being on a free. Tells us all we need to know if he is good enough to be a part of the best team in the world or not. I imagine he will end up in a club like Villa or a similar level team.

Nothing against the OP asking the question what we think though, its just fun to speculate! But I cant imagine we are so desperate we will settle with Kamada. Thats my opinion anyway :)
 
It does make you wonder why he hasn't been snapped up by now.

We're on a tour of Japan that's what really got me thinking about this guy again just a weird feeling, I've literally created this thread on a whim because we're on tour in Japan and he's a Japanese free agent haha... plus he's a good player who's had plenty of interest in him too without joining anyone which seems off.

So why is he Daichi Kamada still available? I'm still thinking about to the fact we do like our deals very privately, and sometimes when we complete them they come completely out of the blue, if Kamada enjoys a private simple life like a lot of Japanese people do, that could mean he's already got a club but stayed on holiday in Japan, how crazy would it be if our first press conference there in Japan we unveiled him? I know it sounds crazy but the Japs would go crazy for that PR move you never know.

Could it be the reason for no noise on Daichi Kamada's next club is because he's still in Japan on holiday, after Txiki has already worked his magic but told him to wait for us to unveil him once we get there?

Doubt it but it's all part of the fun

(:

We signed a couple of Japanese players as part of the CFG and none of them really made it in the first team.

He wasn’t being used by BVB because he wouldn’t sign a new contract and his agent was offering him to clubs.
How can you say no one knew Bernardo Silva? He had just played a Champions League semifinal

But we weren't heavily linked.

Akanji was available from the minute he refused an extension at BVB. Schlotterbeck had already been brought in as his replacement. Leicester were making a move for him before City swept in.
