A 19 year old kid living in Japan with all of the cultural differences and lack of life experience will be an interesting challenge. Maybe this will work out great for him but I think it is a long long way from sure thing.

But if my kid is offered $7 million to go to Japan, WE will be on a plane tomorrow. I think in the right situation it will work because either the club would hire someone to take care of him or his family will move there to help with the transition.
