http://headlines.yahoo.co.jp/hl?a=20111110-00000021-sanspo-socc Urawa, Shimizu and Marinos keen on 194cmHavanaarMike. Plus the Netherlands is likely an option as well. If I'm reading the article correctly (and I may well not be!), the offers are 3x his current ５０００万円 salary at Kofu, so he'll probably be off regardless. But as we know he's stated his desire to first make sure Kofu can stay up in the J1.
Meanwhile Hirai scored 5 goals in J League so far this season. If he would be given as much time as Lee on the pitch I'm sure he would end the season with the same or even more goals than him. Of course he's not Adriano but still a very good striker. Same talk as there was with Kim's move to Reds earlier - do they need reinforcements on striker position? His current salary in Kofu is １８００万円 and after raising it should be around the amount which Vitesse would pay him at the start. In one article I've read few days ago it was said that in Eredivisie the lowest slary for a player outside of EU can't be lower than average salary in the whole league and that would be around 45000€/month. So that's comparable amount of money between Kofu and start in Eredivisie.
News around this morning that Nagai will be leaving S-Pulse at the end of this year. No surprise really as the number of goals he's scored I can probably count on one hand. It just hasn't happened for him.
Reds: IF they stay up... Conflict of interest there S-Pulse: No. His father works there, Mike doesn't want to be in the same club. Marinos: They have already some decent striker. Of these three, of course I'd say Reds. He'd go to Holland, but not to a small club. At least this is it at the moment, then, who knows?
Avispa have signed another Korean full-back from University for next season: Oh Chan Hyon. The guy Kim Min Je we got from University was the highlight of this season for me, so I'm pretty pleased to be getting another, although there is a rumour that Kim will be going back to Korea for military service. This new guy has played U-19 and U-20 for Korea and is now 22.
So Gamba is interested by a terrible keeper and another one who has recently been injured. It looks clever.
Speaking about Havenaar, I noticed a couple of days ago that there is a bar/pub/snack club of some sort called ハーフナー or ハフナー ( dont remember exactly) in the middle of Susukino, Sapporo. For those who are familiar with the area, its on the opposite side of of the street where u find Norbesa. I wondered if there might be a connection between that place and the Havenaar-family, since they used to live in Sapporo for quite a long time.
Why would he go to the Reds when they don't have a coach or a coherent plan moving forward? It seems like they are playing Yahoo fantasy football. And why wouldn't he go to a club with his father as a coach? The next place he's at is going to be temporary.....I bet if he stays in Japan, he'll be loaned out or sold at the summer transfer window. I don't know how he feels about going back to Marinos. He didn't really succeed there and Kimura tends to play musical forwards. At this point, if he's considering Japan, he's probably looking for the most stable place possible where he can feature.
As for the S-Pulse connection, no idea if it's any more likely than anything else, but Dido is the goal keeping coach, so can't see that being a factor. They'd have next to nothing to do with each other when it comes to work.
He also wants to continue his career. Maybe in J2. But I must agree - his record in S-Pulse is horrible. But still... Few of his most memorable goals.http://youtube.com/qaUfb1I8U7Y?t=3m6s

http://hochi.yomiuri.co.jp/soccer/jleague/news/20111108-OHT1T00212.htm Old news but Junichi Tanaka from the Osaka Toin High School joins Frontale where somebody touts him the Japanese Hulk. Tanaka trained with Girondins Bordeaux for 3 weeks in March this year.
I saw him play when he went over there, he was energetic, clearly a good player but I was struck by his selfishness.
Probably the reason why he went away earlier than planned? Anyway, it takes some nerves to train with some of the best of Ligue 1 and play selfish. Maybe just what Japan needs...
Maybe. Bordeaux wasn't going very well at the time and I doubt they wanted to be bothered by trials at such a crucial time. That's what you said, even though he was selfish I appreciated this kind of temper because it's hard. But japanese players have to make it theirs and not copy the european youth, I see what's France is turning into and it's just pure selfishness, no strong motive behind it.
It's the exact same thing they've been using for a while. They just renewed the contract. It's a cable station in Japan. I think you can stream it online, but you have to live in Japan and be subscribed to the service.
If you put it on a credit card it can be installed anywhere of course, being satellite. Coverage is for Japan but I understand some in Hawaii, the Pacific, and Asia can get it too. And obviously the pay streaming online if you can tunnel through a Japanese IP.
