Normally, only players like Zanetti, Cordoba, Cambiasso, Del Piero, Buffon, Totti, De Rossi, Maldini, Costacurta and Shevchenko can manage to stay at a top club for more than 7 seasons. The idea of someone like Nagatomo playing for Inter for that long is sad and comical at the same time, let alone signing him in the first place.
Naturally, players like him, Wome, Jonathan, Ranocchia, Muntari, Rivas, A.Cesar, M.Gonzales and Gresko are foolishly signed by every top club all the time, but eventually they are kicked out in 1-2 seasons after realizing how mediocre/disastrous they are. Only Inter have reached this legendary achievement in putting Nagatomo (and Ranocchia on the way) right up there with players like Cambiasso, Samuel, Maicon and Cordoba.
