Yeah he might mean that. And he’s not a racist 👍🏻 |  | |  |

That sounds possible. Left back Didn’t play much |  | |  |

On 20 May 2025, the club announced he would be leaving in June when his contract expired. He is 31 though. I wouldn't have thought we would get someone that age, but who knows? |  | |  |

If we are in the market for a South Korean, Aston’s eyes will be lighting up. If they’re in their national team especially, the publicity, social media and merchandise opportunities over there goes off the charts. Much like with Baggott, but on steroids. I’m not sure how that helps us on the pitch though. |  |

Totally legit for an out-of-contract / released player |  | |  |

It says he is worth £600,000. Maybe that is what they meant? |  | |  |

Who then? The only Japanese player they have is a centre mid? |  |

Brum friend just told me ... on 20:55 - May 28 with 3769 views | portmanking | I'd hope it's more likely to be Tomoki Iwata. He has been Birmingham's standout player. He's also one of the closest like-for-like replacements out there for Luongo. Excellent positional awareness and IQ, plus 4 years younger. He plays a similar role filling in for their all out attack full back Laird. |  | |  |

I think we’re all a bit in the dark on this one. Iwata doesn’t fit the description of full back who rarely plays, IF we consider his natural position (40+ appearances this season). But he could do if you only look at the times he’s filled in at left back. And of course does fit the nationality. |  |

I don’t know whether the rumour is true as not heard it from someone I normally might, but this is the rumour - not a LB as the original poster describes |  | |  |

To add, I have been told that a Fulham midfielder is very much of interest… would be surprised if we wanted/get both |  | |  |

Berge or Lukic would be perfect but presumably impossible - Harrison Reed? |  | |  |
