Matsui starting.

According to this report, Matsui's move to Sporting after the 2010 WC didn't materialize because Grenoble tried to raise the transfer fee by 200k after the clubs had already agreed on 2.3 mio - just before he was to be presented as Sporting player.

 

Sporting what? Lisboa?

 

Which club I would refer to when I just say "Sporting"?

• Sporting Clube de Portugal, a sports club from Lisbon, Portugal.
• Sporting Al Riyadi Beirut, a sports club from Beirut, Lebanon.
• A.O. Sporting BC Athens, Greek professional basketball team (Athens).
• Sporting Cristal, a football club from Lima, Peru.
• Sporting Clube da Covilhã, a sports club from Covilhã, Portugal.
• Sporting Clube de Braga, a sports club from Braga, Portugal.
• Real Sporting de Gijón, a football club from Gijón, Spain.
• Sporting Charleroi, a football club from Charleroi, Belgium.
• Sporting Clube de Goa, a sports club from Goa, India.
• Sporting Kansas City, a soccer (football) club from Kansas City, Kansas, USA.

 

Lol yes, the article says Lisbon.

 

Damn Grenoble.

 

Sponichi et al saying Matsui is possibly going to Marinos. However, I suspect there is something being lost in translation as it was Central Coast Mariners who were after him in the January window, but then decided to wait for his contract to run out and get him in the off-season.

 

Nothing was lost in translation.

 

So you think he's heading to Yokohama?

 

There is definitely an interest and he wants to come back.

 

Hmm, not sure what to think about that. Having sold/loaned out all of our other AMs, I can see we need a back up for Shunsuke, but Hyodo and Saito (with Hanato off the bench) are doing alright for us so far. Up front, Marquinos is doing well, Fujita not too bad considering a lack of game time and I'm not fond of us playing 2-top anyway. We'll see.

 

Oh boy.

Marinos do not take this man. He will I figure take up a great wage isn't the youngest anymore and I kind of think isn't on a required level as well

 

Higuchi likes his "experienced" players, it must be said...

 

Finally heading back to Japan. I know Matsui he's a travels-lover, but probably being in Bulgaria isn't going so well, if he's not renewing his contract.

 

True, no transfer fee. cnd_marino mentioned reports of ¥50mil (US$500k) as his salary for F.Marinos. Out of condition and a back up player only, no thanks.

 

Than he will be the more experienced player in JNT for WC2014?

 

It's not strange to call an experienced player before an important competition like WC2014, a lot of NT did it in the past even Japan (Nakayama was called in 2002 nope? And Akita too if I remember right).

The old geezers can support the youngsters moral and be an unexpected add on for the team.

However I prefer Tulio than Matsui for this purpose and now that he finally come back to his country he can obtain popular approval too.

 

I would call Bomber before Tulio, but let's not go down that road. P.S. the Matsui rumour turned out to be bogus or so the President said.

 

That's called a damage control

 

No just an idea of how well paid experienced veterans are in J-League. Especially the ones with "famous names"

Anyway let me know what his wage is if he comes to YM
