10/02/2014 - FC Gifu promoted Junki Endo (19), a forward, to their first squad. He used to play in the Tokai Regional League with FC Gifu Second. - Despite having been born in Sapporo, attacking midfielder Shuichi Akai (32) spent his whole career with Ehime FC, joining the Shikoku mikans in 2004 when they were still in the JFL and playing with them for ten seasons in a row. He must have liked it there, as after he didn't renew his contract for next season, he opted to drop to the regional league to sign with regional giants FC Imabari. This club, which is remembered for pulling quite an upset in the 2012 Emperor's Cup by winning against J1 leaders Sanfrecce Hiroshima, has dominated the Shikoku Regional League in recent years. Until 2011 they acted as a reserve/feeder club for Ehime FC and went under the name of Ehime FC Shimanami. - Rightback Ryosuke Amo (30), who played for Kamatamare Sanuki until last season, will drop to the regional leagues as well as he signed with FC Osaka. Amo's career started in his native Tokushima, but was mostly spent in JFL, where he played for Sony Sendai other than Kamatamare.
12/02/2014 - Koya Kazama (20) signed with Oita Trinita. Koya is the son of Frontale's coach, Yahiro Kazama, and spent the last season and a half with his father's team, although he mostly stayed on the bench. He and his brother Koki were released at the end of 2013- Koki signed for Giravanz Kitakyushu.
An totally waste of money rumour about Gojko Kacar who didnt play at all last year in Hamburger SV, rumoured to Cerezo?
But is he needed? Can he make a already extremely stronglooking Cerezo team stronger compared to what he would cost them?
A guy thats used to German salaries would get a shock if he found out what the usual player salaries in Japan is.
Seems it's official. Kacar to Cerezo. http://www.transfermarkt.de/en/offi...nde-an-cerezo-osaka/news/anzeigen_149532.html
They should...now when they have a great foreign player like Evergrande, but the chinese team has 3 . Anyway, Kakitani it's like a quality foreign player.

Good riddance! We signed former Korea NT striker Jeong Shung Hoon as a replacement, but he's already 34 so not sure to what degree he will contribute. His goalscoring record in the K.League isnt great either, but might be a nice addition nonetheless. Anything is better than Ferro, Diogo, Lemos et al anyway
Arnold bringing in another Aussie. EXCLUSIVE: @vuka20 (Danny Vukovic) has signed 5 month loan deal with Graham Arnold's Vegalta Sendai, effective immediately. Flies out today.— Scott McIntyre (@mcintinhos) March 3, 2014
Well, a new GK is probably what they need the most, and Vukovic isn't too bad. Should be better than both Seki and Sakurai atleast.
