He definitely has a chance of playing. Stats of Levante's strikers this season: Kone - 17 games 6 goals Suarez- 17 games 4 goals El Zhar- 9 games 0 goals
Guys, it was a joke. But really Levante are by far oldest side in La Liga and have even broken the record for the oldest squad

Newest Ibusuki rumor http://www.nuevofutbol.com/2012/01/...iere-recuperar-el-fichaje-de-hiroshi-ibusuki/ Kashiwa Reysol want him back, but Sevilla have put a 3 million Euro price tag on him.
It's the exact same site which came up with all the other Ibusuki rumors. Meaning none of them are probably true, so don't worry about it.
Hehe. A loan to club in La Liga would be nice. I have a hard time seeing him get playing time in Sevilla right now.
http://www.nuevofutbol.com/2012/01/19/el-atletico-de-madrid-atento-por-el-nipon-hiroshi-ibusuki/ I think that this site writes a new Ibusuki rumor everyday.
There's been a few rumours that Kanoute is leaving the club for the Middle East, and he's 34 already. Does anyone know if Ibusuki could become a direct replacement for him, I only know that they are both tall strikers. La Liga coverage is poor where I live.
Ibusuki in the first team squad against Betis. http://www.sevillafc.es/nuevaweb/actualidad/noticias/23603
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baba_Diawara#cite_note-3 Looks like Sevilla signed a new striker. Maybe Ibusuki will be loaned out now?
Didn't do much, but I think he was a bit unlucky since Sevilla got a red and they were looking pretty good before that happened.
Ibusuki really didn't get the chance to do anything, he ran as he was supposed perhaps could do a bit better with his control of a ball on that few occasions he did touch it, but all and all I think he as we can be happy that he got his chance and since this was a derby it means all that much he got the coaches trust. Hope it spurs him on to do well and gets more chances
Glad Ibusuki's been finally rewarded with a BBVA debut, looking at his statistics he's been scoring pretty consistently for the past few seasons.
Good to see him get some time. See now when Ibusuki does great with the reserves he realistically has a chance of progressing to the senior team. Whereas Usami can do just as well and not get a decent sniff.
Bayern II are below average in fourth tier, so there's still some difference. The player types, other players at their respective teams, communication abilities, expectation levels are different, so I doubt this comparison makes any sense. If at all, Miyaichi and Usami's situations could be compared.
Oh I'm not comparing them player to player really. I'm just saying that both are doing well in reserves, also the odd few minutes in Usami's case and friendlies as well. Basically both are doing about as well as they can be at their clubs without ACTUALLY being in the first team. With the difference being that you feel Ibusuki is likely to see more opportunities in the first team as a result of his efforts, and Usami will have it much tougher to come by at this Bayern team. Miyaichi's has got it worse than Usami. In a league not "broken in" by Japanese players, and WAY further down the pecking order than Usami seems to be.
Again, the site which regularly speculates about Ibusuki's future came up with a new club: Urawa Reds.
Actually I heard that rumors before. I would not take it past the Reds to make an offer however I see it highly unlikely he would accept
