There's a rumor going around that Minobe has resigned and has gotten an offer from a J1 club. edit: He's gone http://www.sponichi.co.jp/soccer/news/2011/12/03/kiji/K20111203002162930.html
Nobody wants Okubo, so Tashiro in Kobe might be difficult. Reds made a serious offer for Mike; Frontale trying for Daniel; Hasimoto will go to Vissel; Paulinho likely to Gamba if Lee Keun-ho leaves.
And Konno, Cho Young Cheol. They let Yamaguchi and Takagi walk. Yuya Kubo is training with Hoffenheim, Kashiwa want Nasu, Fukui (Giravanz Kitakyushu), Masato Fujita, Ricardo Lobo.
Konno offered 3 years at Y100million per year, according to this: http://headlines.yahoo.co.jp/hl?a=20111206-00000010-spnannex-socc
Old news but http://www.nikkansports.com/soccer/news/f-sc-tp1-20111205-872946.html Kurosaki stays in Niigata for another year. No more room for Aizawa in Kawasaki. http://www.nikkansports.com/soccer/news/p-sc-tp1-20111206-873076.html Jorginho for the next Kashiwa coach? He's listed together with 3 Brazilian and one Jaonese coach. http://www.sponichi.co.jp/soccer/news/2011/12/06/kiji/K20111206002182540.html Gamba would like to get Paulinho as Lee Keun-ho is likely to leave. They have also interest in Youhei Takeda from S-Pulse aside from Nishikawa for next season.
Getting closer: http://headlines.yahoo.co.jp/hl?a=20111206-00000030-sanspo-socc Zero transfer fee as his contract is up. But he has backed out on us before, hasn't he?
Kyoto Sanga promoted Yuya Kubo, Daichi Sugimoto, Yuji Takahashi, Riki Harakawa, Kazuki Mine, and Ippei Kokuryo to the top team http://www.sanga-fc.jp/news/detail/15567/
Kyoto will be one of the favorites for the promotion I guess. But with these guys coming up and the other young players such as Komai or Ito, I feel some are going to spend time on the bench and their development may suffer from that.
Sanfrecce reserve keeper Hirotsugu Nakabayashi to Fagiano Okayama http://www.sanfrecce.co.jp/news/release/?n=4919 I wasn't a fan personally but I know he was respected by some here, so it's a little surprising that he's following Stoyanov to Okayama at the age of 25. Maybe we'll see him back in J1 in the future. I guess this also means that Sanfrecce are intent on keeping hold of Nishikawa.
There's a rumour Botafogo is interested in Tulio. According to some radio news in Brazil, Oswaldo de Oliveira recommended other five j-league players (names wasn't revealed) to come with him for next year.
you mean this : http://odia.ig.com.br/portal/ataque...do_japao_tanaka_e_fellype_gabriel_210727.html he can have Fellype wrapped in a ribbon if he wants to.
http://www.sanspo.com/soccer/news/111207/sca1112070501000-n1.htm S-Pulse offered Ono a one-year extension at 50% of his current wage, which apparently he didn`t appreciate: "I may be playing somewhere else next season".
http://www.nikkansports.com/soccer/news/p-sc-tp1-20111207-873507.html Nishino starts serious talks with Urawa... http://www.nikkansports.com/soccer/news/p-sc-tp0-20111207-873510.html ... and Okada arrived in China.
As expected Avispa have appointed Koji Maeda from Volca Kagoshima as Head Coach today. It isn't a very exciting appointment, but looks to be pretty solid as he has served his time as coach at Vissel for a while before being at Kagoshima for a year.

This is now being reported by Sponichi. Tulio is contracted til the 14th of Jan, apparently. http://headlines.yahoo.co.jp/hl?a=20111208-00000008-spnannex-socc
