http://www.herthabsc.de/de/intern/verpflichtung-haraguchi/page/5248--17--.html Official. Contract until 2018.
Nah.... nither Nagasawa nor Inui got bigger and they did fine (yes, I know this year Inui didn't but reasons are different). Of course some physical training will always help anyway
if he wants to improve and become good on international stage he definitely needs to toughen up. Otherwise this was fast and for me not expected. Urawa are not exactly beggars and also as far as I know he did signed a proper contract with them so I am interested to know how many mils came to Reds coffers for this? Reds were also a proper title contender this year, but after this it is going to be harder to win it
Genki Genki! Kaze ni nare genki! Genki Genki! Kumo ni nare!!! I like him so much and I hope he will be another Shinji in Germany (Kagawa or Okazaki fit good both).
transfermarkt says 1,65 but jesus christ for only 500k Our best team Maribor is selling some semi crappy players for 1 mils € plus and J-League is having a garage sale over and over again even the likes of Reds
really? I guess its either time flies by fast or the extension of his contract when he wanted to pay back the Reds for investing in him was not a long term one In any case another steal from J-League ouch
It would be better for the J clubs if players would leave in the summer. That's the only option to get some Euros and the players are going to leave sooner or later. Keep in mind one year contract corporate culture which keep strong roots in Japanese clubs. The only bigger exception in the last year was a long term contract with Minamino. I can't remember too many such cases but it's going in the right direction finally. He did OK speaking about his former club (Reds) and supporters keeping his mouth shut until the final decissions 'on paper' (as he's going to sign a contract after medical checks after J League clubs go on the break after 6/1). And he's 100% Urawa-kid so some fans might feel a bit sad with him leaving delivering on the pitch when the clubs is going to fight for the title again this season.
I am surprised he only left now when he already had this fame about 1-2 years ago, he should have left earlier.
Yeah, he is already 23 years old, he's now close to his end of career. 23 y.o without any experience in Europe, it's too old, isn't it ?
the difference is that he didn't have 6 months left in the contract... or I don't remember if Haraguchi had multiple 1 year contract
He had signed a 3 years contract before matchday 14 against Omiya in 2011, according to what he said on his press conference.
