The Tokyo Verdy Thread [R]

Don`t reckon the new stadium will happen anytime soon (if ever) for the exact reason just stated. On this point I can`t disagree.

Still in J2. From Ruy Ramos and Kazu Miura times, seem to be past decades..

They have a really good youth set-up to fall-back on.

They'll be up in a couple of years.

It's amazing how many players have been promoted from their youth system over the years. IMO they would definitely be in J1 if they had kept Morimoto and the Takagi brothers.

They promoted some really promising players this year from the 'Platinum Generation' and hopefully the club won't let go of these players to J1 clubs.

It's not really amazing actually, that's what you do when you're a J2 which came close to bankruptcy. That's also probably the issue preventing them from getting promoted, at one point your need a talented veteran or a strong foreigner.

Sorry I didn't make myself clear, but I meant 'amazing' to say how the Verdy youth system have promoted players over the years who are consistently high quality (Or the genuine potential to be) players.
