link to the former thread: https://www.bigsoccer.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1453365 it's time for a new thread with a new title NEWS TO BE DISCUSSED: - Wang Gang has decided not to renew his contract with Beira-Mar, the highly rated speedy striker might follow his former coach (who just left Beira-Mar) or sign a new club, will he continue to play in Europe? or he will go back to China? - Dong Fangzhuo signed a one year with Armenian Club FC Mika and finally finding his scoring touch, he stated that he wants to find consistent playing time and find his way back to top European league? is this dream a bit too farfetched? - although Hao Junmin became the first Chinese to win the DFB Pokal, he only played one match under the new coach, with one year left in his contract, will he continue his European career? or continue to fight for his place in Schalke? - more news to follow

Super job on the lists and player updates. Calling Hao a DfB Pokal winner is one thing (1 full match + 1 90' substitution), but Shao wasn't even registered with Duisburg during the Pokal final.
fixed. took out shao jiayi's stuff. i kept hao's achievement because the chinese media reported him as the 'first chinese to win the german cup', and he played two games out of possible six games. the only thing i am not sure is if the cup is as strict as premier league's rules, where the players must play certain amount of game to qualify for the medal.
I think one cup match would qualify you for a cup medal. No news on Hao being released? I'm telling you. He's going to Wolfsburg!
the latest news about Hao is "no teams want Hao" and "Hao is the top target to be sold by Schalke". why do you think hao junmin would join wolfsburg?
Shao Jiayi started and assisted once in his debut for MSV Duisburg. The match is a pre-season practice. MSV Duisburg 7-1 Auswahl Südtirol
Just thought that I'd mention something interesting that I found. Apparently there is a Chinese international student playing football at a Aomori Yamada High school which is one of the best high schools in Japan for football and have produced several professional players. His name is 除武 (how would you pronounce his name?) and he plays centerback. I was just wondering if you've ever heard of this kid. From what I've read, he is a starting member of the team and is supposed to be really good. He's in his last year of school, but I'm not sure if he'll be picked up by a pro club or not. Even if he's not picked up by a pro club he would still have a chance of going pro by playing football at a Japanese University since many J-League clubs take players from there.
first of all, thanks for letting us know it's good to hear there's an apprentice out in japan. i did a quick research and there is nothing about 除武 (Chu Wu). there is no news about him in chinese and english. if you could, can you please offer more information about him? such as age, position, history, talents, etc.
DONG FANGZHUO 董方卓 June 19th, 2011. Armenian Premier League - Dong Fangzhuo (FC Mika) - SUBBED IN at 69th MIN - SCORED at 87th MIN. Ulisses 1-2 Mika Stats: Armenian Premier League: 8 starts, 4 subs, 3 goals Armenian Cup: 0 start, 3 subs, 2 goals Total: 15 games (from 8 starts, 7 subs, 5 goals)
I'll check more indepth later, but from what I can see there really isn't much about him. All I could find was his birthday and physical numbers. He was born on March 9th, 1993. He's 183 cm, 78 kilo. They don't really state his previous club. It just says "China". My only guess right now is that he never really played soccer before high school or something and went to Japan for "educational" purposes and decided that it would be fun to take up soccer. But this seems highly unlikely since there are much better options in terms of education at other high schools so he must have gone to Aomori knowing that they are a powerhouse in soccer.

Pretty sad if Hao actually went back to the CSL, but if that actually happens you guys have to start watching the Belgium and Portugese League where their are some Chinese players still playing there.
