Liverpool are reportedly keeping a close eye on Japan international Keisuke Honda.

According to Dutch reports, VVV Venlo chairman Hai Berden revealed several top European clubs have expressed their interest in signing the free-scoring midfielder.

Honda, who was Eerste Divisie's Most Valuable Player last year, has started life in the Eredivisie in style with three goals in his first two games.

In the season opener against PSV Eindhoven, his impressive display won him plaudits from opposing manager Fred Rutten.

"A number of top clubs are interested in Honda. Some of them are participating in the Champions League this year," Berden told Algemeen Dagblad.

Liverpool scouts have been watching Honda this term and the 23-year-old admitted he would not hesitate to move to England if the opportunity arose.

"Playing in a league as prestige as the Premiership would be a dream," he said earlier in the year.

"I would seriously consider any offers that come my way."

Anyone seen him play?

K. Honda, oh yea, sometimes it seems all I do is watch the Eerste Divisie!

Personally I've always thought his brother was the better prospect, though we'll have to work extensively with our trainers, because he has something of a weight problem.

Why are you giving me a dog with its hooter stuck in an ear trumpet, son?

It's the HMV 'Shopper of the Month' trophy, dearest Dad. You won it for buying 127 copies of The Who's Live at Leeds.

Oh, I see. Smashing. Another bit of silverware for the Redknapp cabinet!

By the way, dearest dad, did you hear that Liverpool are finking of signing a Japanese bloke?

WOT? Not one of them slitty-eyed wotnot whojaflips? How many more bladdy foreigners do they need?? I don't mind that I-talian, he sounds like he has some sensible ideas. For a foreigner. But the rest of 'em are a complete shower! They've even got a goalkeeper called 'Pee-Pee'! That's just downright rude! Tommy Lawrence would've gone spare!

And they're still not playing Gerrard centre!

Killing him, son. That's what they're doing. Killing him. Murdering him. Absolutely destroying the poor lad. Shocking decision by the Spaniard! And now they want to buy this Honda bloke? What's his full name - The Honda Also-Ran? It should be! Disgraceful!

Anyway, dearest dad, fancy a pizza?

Thought you'd never ask!

I'm surprised that someone in the forum actually has an informed opinion on Keisuke Honda...good or bad, he is completely unheard off. I dobt any non-hapanese has followed his career.
 
hahaha. In my opinion your satiric treatment of the Redknapps is funnier than any of your other victims, Macca.

I love these little sketches of 'Arry & Son.

You could be right. But I can assure you, in Hapan itself, and in my particular district, Shit Hapans, Honda is a very big cheese. You will sell eight shirts at the very least!

Is Macca a scrpt writer for "only fools and horses"?

Carry on mate.
 
He's not as technically gifted as S. Nakamura but is more agile and athletic. Good player, left footed. But if we're in for him it wouldn't make a whole lot of sense as he's quite similar to Riera.

I've seen him play a little bit for Japan ... given Australia are in the Asian Confederation now, I watch the likes of Japan and South Korea play more.

He's a quick player from what I recall - but there's no way he could survive in the EPL in term of physicality.

A lot of these Japanese midfielders are quite gifted technically, but some are midgets and some are just not strong enough.
