Takehiro Tomiyasu

Back to the theme, I assume that as he wasn't given any minutes last Friday he won't joining. Not that I can judge one way or the other if he add quality.
 
I think people need to recognise just how serious that knee injury was. Arsenal didn't release him early from his contract for fun. He's had multiple surgeries on the same injury and broken down several times.

I think he retains his ability and seeing him play can mean some think other clubs have missed a trick.

The issue is load management on that knee. He's not going to be a defender playing nearly every game and he would need managing.

He could be a useful asset just as long as he isn't expected to play every game...As we have Europe this could suit us.....But a full season of games would probably see him break down again.

One of the type of players who would likely play the full season has been sold. The other is Mitchell. Everyone else is relatively injury prone. At least there's no rubbish Afcon this year to contend with.

60 games.

I hope he is seen as cover.

Otherwise, they will just play him till he drops and then hand him over to the medical team.

Indeed, especially as our first team contains so many important players who leave for Afcon.
 
Tomiyasu was on a high wage at Arsenal but unlikely to have been that high since. I worry what we will offer him, especially considering Kamada earns over 100k a week. In my opinion, even on a free, Tomiyasu is not worth anywhere near that. Could probably give him an appearance based contract, ie a higher wage after 10 and then maybe 20 appearances. Could protect us from potential injury.
