Re: Official Japanese Abroad Thread 2005-06 [R] Nakamura's thigh strain seems to be giving him trouble against Falkirk.
Re: Official Japanese Abroad Thread 2005-06 [R] ********, Hirayama wont play ? They show the match on tv here
Re: Official Japanese Abroad Thread 2005-06 [R] Hamburg use last substitute, no game for Taka. With only 5 minuites of a match last week and now no game doesn't look good for rest of season
Re: Official Japanese Abroad Thread 2005-06 [R] Having listened to the City-Albion match, it sounds like Inamoto was one of our few bright spots. He was making some decent tackles in midfield, winning the ball and creating a few good chances for other players up front. Such a pity our finishing today was poor. Albion's MOTM, though, was probably either Neil Clement (a defensive rock at centre-half) or Chris Kirkland (who produced a few big saves). Speaking of Ina, Tribalfootball.com reported Thursday that he would like to sign a longer contract at the Albion.
Re: Official Japanese Abroad Thread 2005-06 [R] Good I hope he leaves before the Hertha game! He has an ususual liking to scoring just against us. Hopefully they'll transfer list him soon so he can go a place (Hertha maybe ?) where he can play first team football.
Re: Official Japanese Abroad Thread 2005-06 [R] Thanks for the info DevilDave , i hope Inamoto can be an important member of West Brom this season.
Re: Official Japanese Abroad Thread 2005-06 [R] Kirkland is very good GK. I hope Inamoto will contribute to WBA like him.
Re: Official Japanese Abroad Thread 2005-06 [R] Nakamura assisted equalizer in 2nd half and Celtic won 3-1.
Re: Official Japanese Abroad Thread 2005-06 [R] anyone else know if Nakata has signed with Bolton or not as of yet?
Re: Official Japanese Abroad Thread 2005-06 [R] They'll announce the signing today if the medical comes back clear: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/b/bolton_wanderers/4138072.stm

Re: Official Japanese Abroad Thread 2005-06 [R] There's another due to arrive: http://skysports.planetfootball.com...e=Ono+to+follow+Nakata?&channel=football_home
Re: Official Japanese Abroad Thread 2005-06 [R] Holy ********! Ono to Bolton as well? My gosh, Borgetti, Okocha, Nakata, Ono? Are they trying to win the Premiership?
Re: Official Japanese Abroad Thread 2005-06 [R] Thats excellent should they get him. All they need now is Yuji Nakazawa and Tsune and they will win the champs league in 2 years But that would be amazing to see. EAST ASIA IS TAKING OVER THE PREMIERSHIP!!
Re: Official Japanese Abroad Thread 2005-06 [R] By the way, when will Shinji get back from his broken foot
Re: Official Japanese Abroad Thread 2005-06 [R] I heard the manager expected him to be back at the end of this month.
Re: Official Japanese Abroad Thread 2005-06 [R] Why on earth do Bolton need what would be their 847th midfielder? Baffling.
Re: Official Japanese Abroad Thread 2005-06 [R] I just saw Nakata give a live interview on TV. I have to say, his English is really good. I also heard that his Italian isn't that shabby either.
Re: Official Japanese Abroad Thread 2005-06 [R] According to a commentator during a Japan match, Nakata speaks Italian even when he was interviewed in Japanese by Japanese reporters. How long has he been in Italy now? About 10 years?
Re: Official Japanese Abroad Thread 2005-06 [R] I found it strange too. But if he found it more comfortable, and especially if he was talking about his italian experience, then I guess it's still explainable.
Re: Official Japanese Abroad Thread 2005-06 [R] It certainly feels like it's been longer than that. Thanks.
