Very few Swiss are in-season right now (Jakupovic? who else?) Let's keep transfer news to the transfer thread...

 

Things not going well for Andy Egli at Busan. He offered the club management his resignation.

 

But the results sure weren't going his way. Is Busan currently that tight financially?

I remember watching Busan I'Park's Asian Champions League matches against Qatar's Al-Sadd a couple of years ago.

Seemed like a decent club...

 

Anybody ever heard of Junnosuke Schneider? He has a Swiss father and a Japanese mother and plays for Vegalta Sendai in J2. Can't make out if he has Swiss citizenship however...

 

Is he starting these days?
