2012/15 Eiji Kawashima @ Standard de Liège (BEL) Thread [R]

You've always have something to argue, Dax. Let's close it here.

 

I have a feeling kawashima will join novara, standard may even offload him for free?

 

why cant serie b sign japanese players. is there a quota for non eu players?

 

bad team to practice with then

 

Poor Kawa.

I had high hopes for him when he rocked att St Liege, he had it too I guess.

 

I think its reasonable to assume that "practicing with a team that has 0 chance of hiring you is a bad idea"

He should have practiced with a team that at least has a chanceof hiring him, then if all comes to worse... to keep his career alive he wouldnt be so embarrassed to tell the team "I will work for free or half the wages" like Owen Hargreaves

 

Spains second league on the pyramid (segunda div.) has more famous attackers than japans j league 1.

It also has barcelona B, full of future stars.

So I would say spains 2nd division and englands second division are more higher level leagues than belgiums first division and japans j league 1

 

Eiji was training alone with his coach in Japan before his trip to Novara. I would imagine it's better training to play with other footballers in an actual game context, facing actual shots taken by professional strikers.

 

wow, how can a goalkeeper train alone?

 

If he has no team to train with he has to train alone, duh.

 

Where is he rotting now ?

 

Absolutely understandable. How can it be that a solid goalkeeper like Kawashima didn`t find a new club. He is good, speaks many languages, is not that old and has tons of international experience. He played 2 WC`s and 2 AC`s and was doing well in Europe. It`s not like he was a flop or played that badly in his last season for Standard.

I really don`t get it, it must have something to do with him. A normal midtable club like Augsburg or something must be realistical but maybe he want`s something better.

 

If he is a free agent. Then he can join any team in UK even during none transfer periods.

He can join any english team, I think other countries also have this policy regarding free agents?

So in that case its upto him now which team he wants to join?

ANy low table team in germany, belgium, netherlands, denmark, finland would take him.

I have a feeling he is negotiating to go to best possible team, if he cant, then he will choose second best, then third best...and so on???

I don't if it's him and I understood correctly, but he STILL wants Europe and he's waiting.
Right?
If it's right, I don't understand WHAT is waiting.

 

I dont speak Japanese and 99% of time japanese translations to english using google translate are hilarious and they stuck.

Whats he saying. He will wait until the next transfer cycle?

 

He wrote that he apologises for lack of news and wants his fans to believe in the way he chose. That's more or less what's written in the newest entry on his blog.

 

I don't think he and anyone else expected it to be so fkcing hard. I mean he does not suck.

 

Dundee United.

 

Champions League, right?

Five months to end up in Scotland. Wow. Great, Eiji.
I hope that your JNT career is over. More space for others.
