East Asian or oriental players

[Borobuddah]

Mostly Japanese or Korean, everyone seems to have one, why don’t we?

 

[Priv]

We clearly don’t scout Asia. Are we missing out?

 

[AytonMews]

Dong Gook Lee walked so they could run

 

[BoroPhil]

If we could sign one that also has a monster long throw, two birds with one stone

 

[Borobuddah]

From what I’ve seen we are missing out!

 

[TeaCider]

Oriental is an outdated term that some find offensive, I'd avoid using it nowadays.

On the point, I do think it's a growing area for quality players and we should be looking in to targets from there.

Postecoglou managed to find loads of gems whilst he was Celtic manager.

 

[Block21]

We need one!

Always hardworking, dynamic, aggressive! Bring one in Boro.

He managed in Japan for 3 years before moving to Celtic.

There seems to be a lot of good players coming from Japan at the moment. Celtic in particular seem to be focusing quite a lot on there and South Korea and Brighton found an absolute gem in Mitoma over there.

Yes Tcider, couldn’t think of a better term to use, hence also East Asian

We could have prime Rory delap and we still couldn't score a set piece. I mean the year we went full pulis we only scored from three corners.

Despite knowing all the above I still think players taking short corners should be shot.

Ryan Shotton used to be able to hoy the ball a fair bit IIRC

Don’t say ‘oriental players’, it makes you sound very old.

What’s a better term, I’m old but not very old

Sorry if came across as virtue signaling or anything, wasn’t my intention. All the other things you called them are better, Asian, Japanese, Korean.

East Asian is the go to term in the UK right now, so that's fine.

Kota Tawaratsumida

 

[Borobuddah]

We used to scout there?

Is “Far Eastern” offensive?
