2011/12 Keisuke Honda @ CSKA Moscow (RUS/CL) Thread [R]

Today at Milan Channel they said AC Milan will make an important investment for a talented midfielder. They said he will not a very big player, but a good one.
I keep on hoping.

Well, now that they made a lot of $$$ I have some very small hopes too but I don't know

CSKA bought Matias Suarez for 15m€ today so ... who knows.

It's Kaká. He's sucking right now, but you know. He's brazilian, he's getting old and he had his prime moments at Milan.

It's not Kaka.
This has been said on Milan Channel: Ac Milan will buy Kaka+1 forward+1 centre back+1 midfielder, and also a left wing back if Mesbah leaves the team.

His agent said that to the brazilian press, but who knows

Sounds just like Honda. he's been under the radar for much of the last season. if Honda moves to AC Milan it would be great on so many levels. Honda in Serie A, UEFA CL, and life in Milan. AC Milan would get a very amazing midfielder/forward with such a great drive for success.

I really hope NOT.
Every single AC Milan supporter will say "Uh, Honda? Good marketing choice. Let him on the bench and take the profit from merchandising to buy some random brazilian in the winter market" and this is NOT what Keisuke deserves.

Sad but true, it doesn't matter if the guy sucks, BUT "hey, he's brazilian! Let's buy him for 50mi because he'll shine and don't forget that he's brazilian".

like Robinho?

Yeah. People talk about how Neymar is "good", but even the people in Brazil doubt if he will succeed in Europe, we call him "Neymarketing" for obvious reasons. Why he would leave anyway. He's earning around US$1.5mi per month just to appear on Tv's commercials and we are pissed due to the fact that the press lick his balls over and over. Also, his team (Santos) is collapsing because they spend most of the club's revenue with him.

If he goes abroad he will flop just like Robinho. I will laugh my ass off when some club pay 60mi for him.

So, new topic isn't here because we all hope is going somewhere else?

Liverpool. Not another place for him (imo).

Rasmus Elm signed for CSKA now? also a midfielder. hmm

And he scores, 1-1 vs Amkar.

Wasted a PK...

He had some of the worst PK taken by Japanese players recently at the Asian Cup. But apparently left footed players are much more predictable.

Hasebe is the best PK taker in this JNT.

That's a big generalization. Keepers usually (other play in lower leagues) know towards which corner they'll go before the shot. Otherwise they wouldn't stand a chance for a save. And right footed players also miss PK...

No it's not a big generalization, it's the result of a serious study. I'll ask for more details to the guy who conducted it.

What's up with the funny hiragana in those Youtube videos? Same uploader? Trying to hide from the scanners?

Please, I'd like to read that.

To be fair, Honda has done amazin PKs against South Korea (the 2nd one of course) and at the World Cup. But sometimes his PKs are shit...

PK is 50-50, no 100%......
