...Dan 758 Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 17 minutes ago, Tommy said: Really? Japanese players also help us a lot with merchandise income. Düsseldorf has the biggest Japanese population in Germany, and I remember when we had Usami and Haraguchi, there were almost more Japanese than German people in the stadium. And of course always with lots of bags of merchandise in their hands! And of course it's all the better if he's as promising as you say. Where did you get that news from anyway? I'm on a platform where you buy trading cards of players and enter them into tournaments to win prizes based on their real life performances, and Tanaka was one of the most expensive J League players on the platform, so it's massive news in the community.

That sounds good! Also I have never heard anything of that rumour in all the Fortuna platforms I'm on. So if it's true, I can be a "I told you so".

Moderator Tommy 12,605 Posted June 26, 2021 Author Moderator Share Posted June 26, 2021 42 minutes ago, nudge said: What is it? I can't watch with sound at this moment We've signed Ao Tanaka from Kawasaki Frontale. Apparently one of the biggest talents in Japanese football. Heard that many Japanese fans are wondering why he didn't join a "bigger" club. Signing a Japanese player is always huge for Fortuna, because we have the biggest Japanese population in Germany. When we had Usami and Haraguchi, there were always hundreds of Japanese people in the stadium, with bags full of merchandise. So besides the obvious sporting positives, it'll also bring us heaps of income merchandise wise. One year loan deal plus an option to make the signing permanent.

Moderator Tommy 12,605 Posted July 3, 2021 Author Moderator Share Posted July 3, 2021 Fortuna Düsseldorf fighting for Kevin Danso's return. That would be an absolute sensational thing if we pull that off. But I'm really not getting my hopes up just yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
