Surprised this has not been made official yet ... 12pm is the cut off isn't it?
No, 11pm tomorrow night is the deadline.
Deals can still be done afterwards, if a ‘deal sheet’ has been submitted before 11pm.

The Japanese national side has come on leaps and bounds in recent years.
Plus as I already said, the merchandise side of things will be huge over there, only took us 20 odd seasons

Wouldn't be our first Japanese player, Yosuke Ideguchi was one of Orta's early failures....

50% of Ao Tanaka's name contains the letter A. In Leeds United's history the only player to play for the club with a higher percentage of one letter in his name is Bobby Webb in the 1950s (56% with the letter B).

Manor Solomon is 33.3333% O.
So his & Tanaka’s contain 50% A & O.
