Wataru Endo (DM) VfB Stuttgart

Yeah turned out that he never played for Sunderland

Some saying at 30yrs of age he is a bit too old, and that we might only get 2-3yrs out of him… we need to remember, we only have Jurgen for another 2-3yrs, so the problem of how this guy is playing at that time, will probably become irrelevant…

but can he play on a cold, windy and rainy Monday night at the Britannia?

This needs to be saved.

Sounds like something Lovecraftian!

All of us here are over 30, and see the racket we cause on regular basis.

Watching clips of this guy, and envisioning him playing with Dom and Mac, the difference in energy of that 3 compared to the energy that Thiago, Fab, and Hendo displayed at times last year may be fairly stark. Endo looks like he’s the embodiment of Newton’s laws of motion - a body in motion will stay in motion. We’ll see if he’s a good enough footballer, but his energy on youtube looks indefatigable. And as we all know, youtube always shows the complete picture of a player.

Is it him? I don’t know tbh, but it’s a man and a van. That’s good enough for me :joy:

Any word on what number he would have? 3 is obviously going spare.

I guess Bajčetić can do the job in cup games so no need to worry about Britannia.

Don’t we let the player decide from whatever is vacant?

Usually they’ve all taken what they’ve worn previously…so yes you would think the #3.

I remember way back, not sure where I heard it, but one of our rivals had made a significant signing, while we had made one that nobody had hear of.
The comment was ā€œTeam X has just signed Y and we have signed some tittyā€. Well Titi Camara ended up being a transfer to remember for the right reasons.

He’s no doubt played on a snowy night in Rostock, so a bit of rain in the Potteries won’t upset him.

Forget the criticism of all those who haven’t watched him play.

I’m actually genuinely surprised at the almost universal praise Endo gets from the people who know him (e.g., commentators on the Bundesliga, Stuttgart fans, ex-managers, ex-teammates, etc.).

That says a lot about character and quality and I’m actually really looking forward to watching Endo play as I actually don’t remember any of our targets who enjoyed such support.

If he turns out to be a success, someone in the organization (scouts, Klopp, Jorge) deserves some credit for having the balls to push forward this option because it isn’t a popular option but could turn out to be the smartest. It doesn’t hurt that he could also be extra cover for CB (although I hope we have a long-term target in mind there too).
