Re: Japanese Abroad 2005-2006 (part II) Two Japanese(Nakamura and Matsui) have the chance to win top assister in European leagues. Nakamura is taking 2nd place in Scottish Premier League assist ranking. http://www.scotprem.premiumtv.co.uk/page/Assists/0,,10002~20053,00.html Matsui is still keeping 1st place in France League assist ranking. http://sports.fr/fr/football/d1/2006/passeurs/classement1.html
Re: Japanese Abroad 2005-2006 (part II) Hirayama's best goal in the Netherlands. http://youtube.com/watch?v=MxGtcFmMV7o Matsui's brilliant two goals in France. http://youtube.com/watch?v=5VzPIZZoNRU Thanks, my countrymen.
Re: Japanese Abroad 2005-2006 (part II) Well done Middlesbrough for putting Bolton in there place. Davies is an asshole and overweight bitch who can't play football
Re: Japanese Abroad 2005-2006 (part II) Hey Gamba, You've got a bit of an attitude sometimes, what's the deal? Chill out. Boring teams like M'boro and Bolton? I think I'd rather see Yokohama - in fact I will on 14th May.
Re: Japanese Abroad 2005-2006 (part II) Yes i know, but i'm just a bolton hater right now because of Nakata being lyed to constantly by there manager and mistreated. Thats all

Re: Japanese Abroad 2005-2006 (part II) the-afc.com interview link http://www.the-afc.com/english/worldcup/news/default.asp?action=newsDetails&newsID=142 quite interesting
Re: Japanese Abroad 2005-2006 (part II) The abroad thread seems to have gone a little stale So i'll attempt at starting some kind of discussion Well then, were do we all think Hide will be on the bench for next season? It's almost 100% that Sam is a manager with his favourites I.E JAY JAY OKACHA and has already said Hide will not be bought because he's to god damn good for Bolton and he'd feel like he was holding Hide back, He 100% will not be with Fiorintina and i don't want him back in Italy anyway. Maybe Spain (the country thats too good for Nakamura). Maybe Germany or Gamba Osaka? You never know? Opinions?
Re: Japanese Abroad 2005-2006 (part II) Well Jay Jay is gone to Qatar I think next year, he won't be back in Bolton . Hide Nakata...hmmm I think Germany would be a good fit for him, he has good technical skills. I think a German team like Stuttgart or someone would like him.
Re: Japanese Abroad 2005-2006 (part II) I heard Trapatoni or whatever his name is was thinking of getting Nakata last summer but never went for him. Don't know if it was true or not
Re: Japanese Abroad 2005-2006 (part II) I heard Stuttgart have been dier this season. Maybe Borussia might be a cool place to go since Rosicky is leaving, Or are they still in financial diff
Re: Japanese Abroad 2005-2006 (part II) They've bought Pienaar from Ajax for next season. He will be Rosicky's replacement.
Re: Japanese Abroad 2005-2006 (part II) Well Hide should definitely not stay at Bolton thats for sure. Sam Alladyce's teams just don't play football so he will never fit in there. I personally think he should stay in England (I'm biased of course), the style of play here suits him imo. Nakata can easily handle the fast pace of the game over here, plus he has way above average technical ability as far as the premiership goes. I would personally love it if he joined my team West Ham. I'd slot him straight into our midfield and he'd be great. Hide's next move is soooo important. He needs to pick a team where he is going to get to play regular games, even if it means playing for a lesser team. Remember when he got loaned out to Bologna a couple of seasons back? He was brilliant and really thrived getting regular games. If he wants to get back to the player he was years ago, he really needs to swallow his pride and just concentrate on his football.
Re: Japanese Abroad 2005-2006 (part II) That's the last thing you say to Hide. He is not the kind of player who cares where he plays. The big question is which premiership club is eager to get Hide? I guess we have to wait and see until the transfer window opens.
Re: Japanese Abroad 2005-2006 (part II) If he was to stay in the premiership someone will have to spend on Nakata, since Bolton say they couldn't afford him i can't see that many mid table clubs can. Maybe a Man City or something would be a good club Although i can't really say anything about there fanances. I really can't understand why fiorintina won't give him a free transfer
Re: Japanese Abroad 2005-2006 (part II) NAKATA ON BENCH AGAIN! and according to skysports.com, Hide has only started 9 games for Bolton in the premiership this season http://home.skysports.com/player.asp?plid=7154&clid=30&cpid=8
