http://www.tsv1860.de/aktuell/news/yuya-osako-und-das-sommerloch-zeit-fuer-spekulationen TSV denies any actual offer so far for Osako. I'll temporary close the other thread then, will delete it if it turns to be false
Harsh words(reference to Sommerloch). At least for a club page. Edit: it also states that 1860 alone is holding the transfer rights. The former sport director said that as well to the press. No money for kashima.
So it's in the middle of the gambling/price inflating phase. Maybe the contract wasn't as clear cut as we all thought after all?
http://www.tsv1860.de/aktuell/news/yuya-osako-wechselt-zum-1-fc-koeln TSV's statement confirming departure, not sure what it says. Will close the thread later this week
Let me say then, LoewenBoy and White/blue, I really appreciated your contributes and insights. Hope to see you around the Japan forum again! And best of luck to 1860 from the other side of the Alps
Who knows, maybe TSV will think again about signing another japanese, even without Funkel. Thanks, and see you maybe on the new thread.
