Sponsors want Liverpool FC to buy Asian players
- Thread starter Tuffdisc
- Start date
Lol reminds me of a manager game, basically now and again you got an email telling you to play a certain player because people from his Country were watching. If you didn't you got an angry email.
The only asian players worth buying is anyone from the Japanese World Cup team. Endo, Honda, Kagawa... There's more I can't remember.
But they're all 10 times better than Liverpool's current crop of players (minus Gerrard and Suarez)

think about it,if liverpool buy a good korean player for instance,merchandising goes through the roof in korea
Arsenal were the first team I remember to buy a player from the far east and they made a fortune from it, they just stuck him in the reserves and sold the TV right for reserve games to East Asia TV companies for a fortune, not to mention, like Ian said, all the money from merchandise.
Inamoto I think, he was pretty shit to be fair.
Asia has come a long way since then lol.
I couldn't anyone deny that Japan are better than England now.

That's the one, didn't matter how good he was though as he never had a sniff around the first team but still brought the money in. Bit like Beckham in the USA. Beckham could be playing a pile of shit, he could be playing really well. Either way, it's his profile off the pitch does far more good for the club than he could ever do on it.
Japan might have improved and England be at their weakest for a long time but I still would think that England would beat Japan reasonable comfortably today.
If the player(s) isn't good enough, what harm would that do too the team
