2017/18 Shoya Nakajima @ Portimonense SC (POR)

tragic.

 

What does he say?

 

I just went straight up to the ameblo link in above post and used google translate lol

Basically he said he known there were rumors about how the agent/club forced him to accept this transfer. But according to him this is his decision, for him not just the level of football/league but also the team's style and direction are important.

 

Thanks. Well still fishy stuff. Dont really trust him.

 

No way it's his decision, Now i want to set fire on the bloody agent alive.

 

He can only play against a Japanese club in the final. By then, he could have already left the club.

 

Does that make him the most expensive Japanese player ever? (Edit: Actually Asian player even? Second most is Son for 30mio, is that correct?) Maybe he takes pride in that like Ronaldo did in his transfer fee... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

He said that a step up for him to a bigger team or league is not necessarily a step up for him. This is difficult to hear, this is a player who had the potential to play at the highest level yet he'd rather go and play in Qatar at the age of 24?? It's hard to believe honestly

 

This is beyond disappointing. I hope he's not called up to the NT until he sorts himself out.

 

Will we even get any highlights of him? He mentioned he hopes people will follow and enjoy his football in Qatar but this is the sort of move that raises big questions for fans. One of japans biggest talents, what a waste. Couldn't have come at a worse time either

 

okay, so when are you closing this thread? can we move on now...

 

If he's not called up, there's even least chance he may sort out.
The international match is now even more important for his exposure to big European clubs, similar to Belgium's Axel Witsel (well, if he still cares about European football)

 

At his age and giving his potential it is a sort of career-suicide move.

 

He had Europe, and tremendous potential on his f**king plate infront of him. He chose Qatar, end of story. And should be the end of the Japan NT's investment in him. Lets get another player the exposure.
