We have apparently bid £3million for him, he is an 18-year-old Japanese midfielder who won Asian Young Footballer of the Year last season. Japan is a hotbed of young talent these days with more and more going to Europe now as Kagawa did to Dortmund.

The report says Mancini has watched footage of him and would implement him straight into the first team squad if we're able to sign him. "IF" not only depending on whether the club sells but whether the old boys allow him a work permit. Angelo Henriquez (same age) got one for United but that's United.
 
I think Japan is probably the best place for cheaper young, world class talent at the moment. Like you said, look at Kagawa, he was a monster at Dortmund and cost them peanuts, even the reduced fee they got from United was a massive profit and it speaks volumes. If Mancini thinks he's good enough, get him signed up now.

Looks a good player but............. hhhhmmmmmmm............ The report says Mancini has watched footage of him and would implement him straight into the first team squad

That bit there doesn't quite sound right to me. Mancini isn't Mark Hughes.
 
Let's not forget the "First Team Squad" is NOT just the guys who get kitted out on match day. If he is good enough, then he could well go straight into the FTS without getting a kick of First Team football on match day and finding his feet in the EDS/NextGen.

This type of purchase is consistent with the goals laid out in the club's long term development, so I look forward to seeing it come to fruition if he really is good enough.

Did he not do exactly that with Nastasic?

I dont know? did he? I seriously doubt it to be fair.
 
Depends on the footage really. Doubt Mancini goes to scout all of our potential young signings in person in Japan or wherever else. Doubt it was youtube footage if that was the case put it that way
 
Latest update is that he will be joining a City training camp at the end of the season but that it doesn't necessarily mean a transfer (according to the Japanese side). To me, if he is going to take part in a City training camp it means City will have the option to sign him or else why bother?

Man City to run rule over Japanese wunderkind Ishige - club
9:00 p.m. EDT, November 1, 2012

TOKYO (Reuters) - Premier League champions Manchester City are set to bring Japanese wunderkind Hideki Ishige to England to run the rule over the midfielder, his club Shimizu S-Pulse said.

However, contrary to Japanese reports, City have yet to make an offer to sign the Asian Youth Player of the year.

The teenager has shone in recent months and has been key to Shimizu's march to the Nabisco Cup final on Saturday, as well as their late surge in the league.

Although Shimizu team manager Afshin Ghotbi wants to keep the 18-year-old within his ranks, he is also keen to give Ishige experience of a spell at City.

"If you want to build top-class players, you have to give them various experiences and opportunities to see first hand what the world level is about," Ghotbi said.

"And what better experience for Ishige than to train with the first team of Manchester City, the champions of England, and have (manager Roberto) Mancini see him first hand and train with some of the top players in the world," he told Japan's Kyodo News.

Ishige is set to spend time with City in January.

The former Iranian national coach said other European clubs were also keen on the teenager.

"There is interest in him, not just Man City but many clubs in Europe and he deserves it. He's a real fantastic talent," Ghotbi said.

"As far as I'm concerned, he's not for sale and we want him to be a part of S-Pulse for the next few years to come. There has been no offer, (City) just want to see him and we are doing the same with other players with other clubs.

"The greatest asset of Japan is its youths. I'm very, very positive about the youth players in Japan and their qualities. Ishige is a perfect example of what I'm talking about."
