Official 2013-2014 J. League Transfers and Rumors thread

Kashima Antlers have signed Brazilian striker, Jair.

He was pretty good in the K-League with Jeju United. Don't know how he has been ever since his to JEF United Chiba.

Naohira Takahara loaned to J3 at Sagamihara.

 

What a good deal. For J3, he'll be useful.

 

Consadole Sapporo have signed Indonesian midfielder, Stefano Lilipaly.

A dutch player

 

Interesting! Seems Consadole are aiming hard at the SE-Asian market=) Let's hope he is good enough!"

1 goal and two assists, not bad, not bad.

 

Idk guys from Sapporo look quite serious trying to jump to the first tier again this year. I myself am a supporter of gradually building the team and making the jump. See Shonan and Jubilo as prime candidates

 

Iwata gradually building the team?

With Popo, Fernandinho, Inoha, Matsui, Fujigaya as recent ( highly expensive) imports who all are first-team regulars or even key-members of the squad? That's half their squad, and certainly more than Consadole have, and if we compare, I'll bet we found a lot more local youngsters ( or players who have been in the club for years) in the starting lineup in Sapporo than in Iwata, even though both clubs are better at bringing up talents than most other clubs.

 

I don't think Blue-San said that Jubilo is building...I think he said Jubilo and Shonan are prime candidates to clinch promotion, but let's him to clarify.

 

No no, I didnt say they are gradually building the team. I said I like clubs who do it like that. Plus Iwata's place is kind of in J1 I was talking about teams trying to progress from J2 to J1

Perhaps I wasnt clear enough:"I see Shonan in Jubilo as prime candidates" = see them being 1st and 2nd and going to J1 this year

Also to be fair to Jubilo, there was this entire. Let's leave the sinking boat thing before this season, so they had to replace those guys also.

 

ah ok!=) My apologies=) Yeah, Iwata seems to be atleast one level above the rest in this year's J2 ( like Gamba and Kobe last year). Behind them is anyone's guess, but Shonan should atleast get top 6, and I hope Consadole can manage it too.

Corean Boy, do you know if he was playing well at Ulsan? Seems like a good addition to Omiya squad.

 

He did well last season (34 games and 4 goals) for a runner up for the title. New coach came and supposedly didn't liked him so they loaned him back to Japan to not wast his time there.

 

Pretty much what Majster said.

New manager didn't like his playing style. Masuda wanted more playing time. No compromise was made, so Masuda was loaned out.

Should be a good addition for Omiya.

 

That's really weird... I've barely seen him in youth games and I know Mito never tried to offer him a top team spot...

Basel eyeing Kakitani.

 

It'd be good. CL for sure.

 

Rather see him in a top 5 league club.
