Re: Japanese Abroad 2008/09 Part 2 [R] ITA Sport Press - Morimoto piace al Manchester City e all'Everton? http://www.itasportpress.it/?action=read&idnotizia=3374
Re: Japanese Abroad 2008/09 Part 2 [R] What's going on with Ito Sho with Grenoble (Ligue 1)? Will he ever see any playing time again? Any info on Ibusuki Hiroshi with Girona of the Segunda Division?
Re: Japanese Abroad 2008/09 Part 2 [R] FT Top Oss [4 - 2] VVV Venlo 8' [1 - 0] E. Güvenc 9' [1 - 1] K. Honda 36' [2 - 1] K. Fachtali 43' [3 - 1] E. Quekel 65' [3 - 2] S. Calabro 90' [4 - 2] K. Fachtali Honda scored again but VVV lost.
Re: Japanese Abroad 2008/09 Part 2 [R] wow, interesting. Everton actually need a striker too, so Cahill can play in his position again. No chance of playing time at City.
Re: Japanese Abroad 2008/09 Part 2 [R] Sat Feb 21, Bundesliga update: All four JPN players played, but none scored or assisted on a goal. Wolfburg 2 - 1 Hertha Berlin - Okubo substituted on at 68' - Hasebe substituted on at 78' Come from behind victory for Wolfburg, scoring at 72' and 84' Franfruit 1 - 0 Karlsruhe - Inamoto played the full 90min at his defensive midfield position Bochum 1 - 1 Bielefeld - Ono substituded on at 73'
Re: Japanese Abroad 2008/09 Part 2 [R] Kid's well short of the caps needed for a work permit, though. That just leaves the 'exceptional talent' clause, and given Moyes' luck with non-EU players getting permits, I wouldn't count on it.
Re: Japanese Abroad 2008/09 Part 2 [R] Yeah but it'd be a decision by the same board letting Mizuno play. And Morimoto's got a better case than him. Youngest J Player ever, Youngest J Scorer ever, Japanese Ronaldo etc.etc.
Re: Japanese Abroad 2008/09 Part 2 [R] but the SPL and the EPL are judged differently because the EPL is a far stronger league. Celtic won their appeal with Mizuno but if he'd been trying to sign for an EPL team then it's unlikely it would have been accepted due to the reason above. Celtic argued that he would definitely benefit the league due to his outstanding ability. that's a more acceptable and easier case to accept for signing a player in the SPL than it is to sign him for an EPL team.
Re: Japanese Abroad 2008/09 Part 2 [R] Hasebe just scored, but Wolfsburg are just about out of the UEFA Cup.
Re: Japanese Abroad 2008/09 Part 2 [R] Great goal by Hasebe. http://forum.rojadirecta.com/viewtopic.php?t=59578
Re: Japanese Abroad 2008/09 Part 2 [R] Apparently, Osama Elsamni can do 100m in 11 sec. Also don't know when but I think he's already appeared for FK Teplice.
Re: Japanese Abroad 2008/09 Part 2 [R] That is a damn nice goal, not often you see that from a japanese player
