hahahaha cheeky boy well i am sure he will be happy to see me again! are you guys going to post all transfers and signings in j league or only the popular ones? unfortunately i can't read japanese so it would be nice if someone could post all of them.
Yuya Hashiuchi of Sanfrecce, previously loaned to Gainare Tottori, has been loaned to Tokushima Vortis. The Wikipedia player pages have already been updated it seems, but the transfers page needs to be updated. (Doing it now.) edit: Ryuichi Hirashige has also been loaned to Tokushima. I guess that must be as a result of Yamazaki being loaned in from Gamba.
Great news for Matsu: Paulinho VERY LIKELY to Ventforet Kofu. I don't know the details, but the source is one of my reliable inside-men at Sanga. GANBARE PAU!!!
Cerezo's Shiratani is Mito's first rental, but is another I'm not too familiar with. Still, knowing the caliber of player usually turning up at the selection practice, I'm glad the roster is largely filling out before this weekend's tryout.
Unfortunately he got depressed when Fukushima barely missed out on the chance for JFL promotion. He's gone home to Yamanashi. He might try to be a practice player for Kofu but soccer as a profession might be over for him.
His only job teaching was as the soccer coach. Until 2008, Tochigi prefecture gave that day job as a form of charity for otherwise amateur players. Not sure what his study was, actually, but probably fitness-related. Hiroshima's Kubo has been bought (not rented) by JFL bound Kanazawa. That seems like a huge pickup for a club at that level.
from my understanding it's only a loan move and it isn't confirmed yet until he has a medical on the 12Jan. Can someone please translate this page, my Japanese is very poor. But if he is coming to Urawa, he would def. be an upgrade to who we have at CB. He's fighting for a spot in the Australian WC squad, so he would be playing his heart out. The good thing about this signing is that he's considered an "asian" player.
Wow I dont think name calling is ever appropriate! If you have a valid point you wish to raise do so in a manner conducive to an adult forum where we discuss differences of opinion and all parties learn from the exchange. Hurtful insults are not helpful and you fail to articulate any reasonable point. Kindest regards Hermes. ps children could read that filth you just posted
I also think it was a good move by Urawa and Finke to get him. He is a very talented young player but had some problems in Nuremberg lately. Mostly because of injuries and lack of matches. He played very well when he started at Nuremberg (3 years ago) and his former coach Hans Meyer was very impressed. I still remember one game against Bayern when he played very strong against Pizarro. Also very clever move just to get him on loan but including a buying option.
I really hope so. Maranao was so inconsistent last year. He had his moments but most of the time he was just a waste of space. Now the team seems to be playing jan-ken with the decision on whether to re-sign him or cut him. One day he is released, the next he is negotiating a contract. Then they decide not to make an offer. Then they call him back for more discussions . . . . aiko-desho... aiko-desho...aiko desho . . . . If they can sign someone of Paulinho's quality it will put an end to this suspense once and for all. Still, the coaching situation is as bad as ever, and I dont really have a lot of optimism unless the team has better coaching. The players (even Maranao) did a very good job last year of getting the most out of their talents, but we lost several critical points from stupid coaching decisions. That is the main reason Kofu fell short last year, and Im worried the same will happen this season too.
Grampus have signed Chiyotanda from Albirex. (This was whispered about a few days ago, but some of us were not convinced the move would go through.) http://nagoya-grampus.jp/information/pressrelease/2010/0108post-144.php This gives us three good central defenders again, so this may be the end of our incoming transfers. It will be interesting to see who gets starting roles at the beginning of the season. Tulio alongside one of Chiyotanda and Masukawa seems certain, but the midfield is less so. With Danislon and Kanazaki in the squad, Yoshimura will struggle to claim a regular place, as could Nakamura and Magnum. However, Nakamura is better suited to a more attacking role and may get moved into a position just behind the strikers.
In this case as well, I won't expect a player of the experience of Chiyotanda to accept transfer without the certainty of being a starter. Albirex, in the mean time, keeps losing important players. Pedro Junior, Matsushita, now Chiyotanda...
