Yeah, first and foremost he is a tank. He's always in the gym doing upper body work and you should see the size of his arms which are probably bigger than most of our legs and that's impressive as it is. Even though he is such a tank as I said he is really composed on the ball. He is a really nice person and so is Yuki and both of them have settled in really nicely here." - Matt O'Riley on Tomoki Iwata after todays game.
Iwata was my MOM, very rarely wastes a ball and seems to have the same kind of swivel as Hatate, took 3 killie players out the game with a wee movement today, was good to see.
Looks like he has legs like Roberto Carlos as well.
PLayer of year in Japan before we signed him, looks like another shrewd bit of business by Ange, as does Kobyashi at cen def, nice to have a left footer in there, brings a nice balance. Composed as you like and looks another absolute steal from the land of the rising sun.
