I like this player alot. He has a wicked shot! Do you think he could play for a bigger club?

The brief answer to your question is yes, but I don't see that happening anytime soon. I don't think its quite fair to call Fulham a small club anymore, people have been predicting their demise all season and I haven't seen it yet. they're 7th in the premireship right now and are within striking distance of the top four. Could he play for one of the larger clubs in england or europe...probably, but i dont' think he'd enjoy the status and playing time he recieves at fulham...i hope he doesnt' pull a saha and stays with us for a long time

Thanks for the reply

He is a good player. I saw him at the worldcup 2002 and he was impressive 2 me. This guy has a shot and a workrate. Fulham .... a good team this year , no doubt about it.

I think after his year at Arsenal, I doubt he would want to go anywhere unless he is guaranteed some playing time.

Even at Fulham, he goes through spells without making an appearance, partly because he has to have the right mix of players around him to be effective - he's not a true attacking midfielder and he's not as physical as pure defensive midfielders. Ina is at his best when he makes forward runs from his defensive midfield spot so his midfield partner needs to be able to cover for him.
Still, Fulham have played well with Ina in the lineup and struggled without him. He's clearly an asset to the club.

Yeah, I like having Inamoto at Fulham, good to see him get playing time in the premeirship, than sit on the bench and watch Henry all day.

Also i hope he sticks around, cause I just got a Fulham Inamoto jersey!
