Ok, now please ignore the wage which has nothing to do with this, and follow this: - "a move since his first year at Oita" -> willingness to move. Explain me why would he want a long contract with Nagoya then. Also, a shorter contract helps moving in Europe. Of course, refusing anything helps even better. - move achieved: Nuremberg. It seems that they usually don't make players sign 1 year contracts. Why would they do it with him? -> seems that He decided to sign a 1yr contract -> desire of short contracts
Because a long contract means guaranteed money. Maybe he didn't want to stay anymore but Nagoya weren't willing to offer much neither. They're not a rich club, it's a gamble, if he's good they can try to resign him, if not they can dump him.
Why would you sign someone for 3 year if you can just for 1 ? Even from a player POV it doesn't make sense to ask for only one year except ... if you desperately want to play overseas.
mah... if he goes there with the right attitude he could improve as a player. and he has a lot to improve to succeed. (i'm not a big Kanazaki fan)
If offered a chance and he can preform like he can in Bundesliga, they will be crying because of that 1 year contract. If he doesnt...they wont fuss about it. But if he gets a decent playing chance, he needs to take advantage of it right away, otherwise they can quickly consider him a squad player their to fill in in case of substitutions. I think they made a good deal and I think he made a good deal.
OK, Dear (Dax_) and (Saku²) can you please stop trolling each other? Because you're arguing (trolling) each other in every thread,so kindly stop it.
Ok I'll quit it, but I am not trolling. I was trying to reflect on the things that happened. But let's ignore them, I mean, he's going to play in Nuremberg, so let's just see if he plays in the next matches! last thing for saku: because on paper, that way even if he sucks you don't lose it for free if you find someone interested and recover at least the wages cost, if he's really good you don't lose him like a noob. Even Lee signed the usual 2 yrs...
cry me a river Dax, he refused Bologna : http://hochi.yomiuri.co.jp/soccer/world/news/20130129-OHT1T00276.htm
haha, as much as it would be nice to see another japanese in Serie A, Bologna is dangerously close to the relegation zone, even more than Nuremberg (a bit of a paradox 'cause Bologna is higher in league table, but in terms of points in Italy the last teams are way closer) so it's better this way in the end.
The point is that Mu's career ended when he was 19... And not much interesting about him happened since 2009...
2013/01/30 - Gamba's Korean forward Seung-Yeol Lee (23) is definitely back to his homeland, after he spent the second part of last season on loan to Ulsan Hyundai. Lee will be playing for Seongnam Ilwa Chunma next season. Lee was bought from FC Seoul at the beginning of last season, but the move didn't prove exactly successful as the only time he was able to find the net was when he scored an own goal in the ACL against Adelaide. He was on the bench in Ulsan's final win against Al-Ahli.
It's Kanazaki but it could have been Kakitani if he had said yes http://www.sponichi.co.jp/soccer/news/2013/01/31/kiji/K20130131005094450.html
Kakitani will wear no. 8 this year which Morishima, Kagawa and Kiyotake all wore before. Seems like Morishima (His hero) had a bit to say in convincing him to stay in Japan. Excited to see him in 2013. http://headlines.yahoo.co.jp/hl?a=20130131-00000028-spnannex-socc
