2009 J. League Transfers & Off-the-field News Thread

That will be great to see Yasuhito Morishima against Yohei Toyoda .

 

Another new face at Gamba. They've signed goalkeeper Yoichi Futori from Roasso Kumamoto and, in return, let Kumamoto have Masaki Kinoshita for a season.

 

Miyamoto will wear the Nr. 14 at Kobe

Sky Sports is reporting that Ienaga has been denied a work permit and so he will not move to Plymouth.

Shame for him and those who like seeing Japanese players in Europe but I'll be happy if he returns to Gamba,

 

Avispa Fukuoka renewed with Takanori Nakajima and Teruaki Kurobe

Miyamoto receives yearly salary of 100 million yen (about 1.2 million US dollars). Overpaid, overpaid.....

 

I would have liked to see him play in England, but nevertheless I look forward to seeing him in J league next season. Are there really any Japanese players who are good enough to get a work permit, but who would want to move to Plymouth?

 

I like players going to Europe but only when it's a good fit.
I'd prefer nobody goes to Plymouth unless they have to.

 

Endo endo please go to europe , prove you're the one.

 

I'm pretty sure he resigned for Gamba

Now Ienaga hasn't left, this is turning out to be a pretty crap transfer season for Japanese to europe.

Okubo and Ibusuki. That's it.

I'm surprised nobody has shown interest for Taniguchi, Kanazaki and Kagawa overseas.

Tokyo Verdy defender Daisuke Nasu to Jubilo Iwata

 

I think Okubo was a good move in the end. I'll take it. Quality over Quantity.

 

will this the new offical J.League-match ball?

 

Sure will. It should make for some really interesting matches. I know from first-hand experience that it's an incredibly fast ball and has a load of grip (which some may have noticed, if they watched any Club World Cup games).

Yokohama FC renewed the contract of Kazuyoshi Miura.
He will turn 42 next month.

Yokohama FC's South Korean striker Cho Young-Cheol joins Albirex Niigata.
He was part of the South Korean 2008 Olympic football team.

 

Yokohamas new mascot looks pretty weak
kind of astro chicken
a pheonix would make more sence, but i would be too similar to Sanga

 

could anybody translate it for me?
Thanks

 

The top says　"Contract or bind heart"

The bottom says "All one's heart"

Sorry, but I'm still a noob at Japanese and I just looked them up in my dictionary!

Why keep "King Kazu"? It's just like Jubilo keeping Gon. It makes no sense. Just let them retire and become coaches for the club...

 

Because Miura is still the most well-known soccer player in Japan.
Yokohama FC can get sponsors and draw crowds thanks to him.
Once again you are showing your ignorance moron.

 

And especially, Kazu continues to play good with Yokohama. Then, why he could not have a new contract?
It's different to the case of Gon.
But well, i think that you are a bit agressive.

 

Wow, I guess that it is impossible to talk with you without getting into an argument! I don't care if you disagree with the things that I say, but what is with the insults? I never say crap to you, but it looks like you dislike people that disagree with you. What is your problem?

Anyways back on topic...
I guess that football is all about money. I know that he brings revenue and a large fanbase, but if they really want to get back into J1 then why not show it? Signing 40 year old players is not a sign of improvement. Unless they like their current situation. I know that if I was a Yokohama F.C. fan then this signing would not convince me that the club was going in the right direction.

 

hey mate, that's harsh words on what is supposed to be a friendly forum about japanese soccer. No need to come with personal insults, even though u disagree with him
