2. Bundesliga is defitenely to low for a caliber like him but St.Pauli sounds good,they can still get up to first league so half a year 2nd league and then togehter with Miyaichi to rock the Bundesliga sounds great. I think he is to expensive....thats reason why clubs like Hannover/Hamburg,Stuttgart didn`t buy Ioan him. The reason cant be his skills, he showed how great he is at Sporting.
You know his incredible goalscoring/assist rate in first season, he was great. And Hannover/Stuttgart/Hamburg was going for him but to expensive cause he costst around 3 mio. It`s a miracle for me how a guy who nearly scored/assisted every 90 minutes from playing time. I repost his stats and my post from last season : Half Europe should go for him. His stats are awesome. He should be really the Nr 1-2 in Lissabon 28 games - 7goals- 6 assists = This means a scoring point every 2,1 game but look how many minutes he stands on the pitch ! 1162 minutes he played = 12,9 games. So 13 games and for this time 7 goals and 6 assists are incredible strong. Every 89 Minutes he scored/asissted, every game also ! That is a absolutely top count. + he can shoot freekicks and penaltys, he is fast, he is big,strong, solid technique and is not bad in headers.
It seems he is heading to Netherlands with Roda JC the most probable destination: http://m.sponichi.co.jp/soccer/news/2016/01/31/kiji/K20160131011957080.html FC Twente and De Graafschap are also interested in him,
the article actually referenced Ned media and it was just reported interest, I wouldn't read much into that. There's very little time and it looks like Tanaka will sign with a JLeague club (I guess on loan, unsure, it'd be better if he could free himself)
