The latest from Spain is that the Mattress Makers are keen on strengthening their midfield for next season with Japanese international winger Shunsuke Nakamura. Toni Muñoz, sporting director for Atlético Madrid, remarked this morning that "everyone speaks very well of him and he is of great interest to us."

I'd love to see him in the Champ. League and with a pair of good strikers in front of him (Nihat & Kovacevic).

I think Nakamura would flourish in La Liga. Seria a is too restrictive for a creative player like him. La Liga after all is known for being the league of creative players and is an offensive league.
