Personally i would be a bit gutted. I love players who do something a bit different, pace or trickery. Accepting some of the opposition he has faced his goals/goal contributions to minutes must be high. He has had a better season than Hansson or Wright so far.
Despite our clearly amazing record this season there is an element of attrition to our tactics and i guess he wants percentage in his players?
I think in reality as others have pointed out. Yokoyama probably needs a lot of development and Davies might not think he's suitable for our style of play.
Apparently its too cold for him in England
Which is bollocks because Japan is far colder during the winter.
I'd be disappointed to see him go, just because he adds entertainment and a bit of excitement to the game. I really lie watching him - 3 times out of 4, it might not come off for him, but the 4th time is usually worth waiting for. I appreciate that CD might seek different qualities, and that's fair enough, but I do like to see edge-of-the-seat players doing their stuff.
Incidentally, I thought that Scott Wright looked excellent when he came on on Saturday.
DO you honestly think anyone here has the attention span to read that? I certainly don't.

Attrition is exactly how we will be approaching the Championship next season in an attempt to go up first time .... we will only become more expansive in our second season in the Championship --- although having said that, Dowell is an excellent signing if we make it permanent. Expect 3xCHs for the first part of next season at least

They were the shorter of my posts on the subject
TLDR : expect to see us concentrating on "conceding nil" and stacking up on no10's and midfielders with Stansfield and May there for their poaching abilities
Although I do need this one explaining to me
People are confusing "cross" with getting towards the edge of the area and then getting the ball "across".
I’ll be gutted if yokoyama goes. Has lots of potential & offers us something different with his pace and trickery. I rate him and he’ll only get better.
IMO would be a poor decision to let him go.

Not difficult ... people are always using (or were using at the time) "cross" which really denotes how we were trying to go round the full back out wide and firing it across from out wide (completely useless tactic for us as we had no height against the very tall CHs in this divisions and gave plenty of time for defences to organise themselves efficiently) as opposed to "getting it across" to denote attacking the edge of the box and then passing it in from there ie "getting it across"
Since we stopped "crossing it" and concentrated more on "getting it across" we've been more succesful ... especially at conceding fewer
Nah, not having it.
Whether you are picking a player out or just putting it in an area hoping someone attacks it, it's a cross. Not putting it across. The word across is the words "a" and "cross" being put together. Across. A cross.
I won't be taking any further questions or fielding any rebuttal.
That’s not going to stop him posting a 5000 word response referencing various posts made months ago that nobody read then either.
WaggehYeah, Mox saying he's off to Belgium. It would be a shame if it happens as I think the lad has got something.
But if he's not settled or whatever, not much you can do.
One of the Belgian clubs Sint Truiden are Japanese owned and have a transfer policy of signing plenty of Japanese players. They currently have 7 in their squad. I could see them targeting Yokoyama.
