Marseilles is WAY better: - the hottest supporters in France - #1 team in France last season - a club with a lot of history - The Franch League is clearly above Russia in European soccer a the moment - better weather and food In general, it would be much easier to stand out at OM that at CSKA, and I won't have to watch the Russian League... Okazaki at Plymouth makes sense only as a "study abroad" semester, a bit of what Ogasawara did. Of course S-Pulse is a much better team.
Mind you but Honda wouldn't have joined VVV or CSKA, if it was for the above reasons. But who says that OM is going to match the price tag?
Rural?? The city itself is quite small but the area (Romagna and its riviera) is one of Italy's most crowded and developed. It's surely much better than Reggio Calabria...
BUHAHAHAHAHA "rural club in Europe" that is really hilarious... Yeah, Europe and Italy in particular is full of little peasants tilling the ground, and in a corner of their village, between the church and the staples, there is a little football stadium. I heard that for night games they all bring in torches, so the players can actually see the ball and the goals... Here is a picture of Cesena practicing, I am sure Nagatomo will fit in well.
I don't know what to believe. It seems there's interest from every single club, I can't sort each story from each other, so I reject everything. lol
Footballing wise it's a lateral move, but if he is on the verge of falling out with the coach (who thinks he's a CM/DM) and/or having issues getting on in Moscow... I'm sure Marseilles would be a positive move.
Just a joke regarding the observation of so much speculation surrounding Honda. You really think Hakodate would waste that much yen on a player that pales in comparison to the rest of their squad?
definnately Milan. Tottenham is packed with class-attacking midfielders. dos Sanots. Bale, Rose, Modric, Kranjcar. I dunno how good he'll do there.
Besides, Milan seems to have ability to make players progress. Tottenham may introduce some various players from all over the world, but they can't break through from it, even play worse.
43 . The team is very young too. Starting lineup last season: Weidenfeller (29) - Owomoyela (30), Hummels (21), Subotic (21), Schmelzer (21) - Blaszczykowski (24), Sahin (21), Bender (20), Großkreutz (21) - Zidan (28), Barrios (25)

U-19 Forward Ryo Miyaichi to go under trial at Arsenal and Ajax. He looked promising, but i think that Sugimoto, Usami, and Miyayoshi are better. http://www.sponichi.co.jp/soccer/news/2010/07/14/11.html
Sugimoto seems amazing, if he fulfills his potential he could be our striker for 2014. Don't forget Gaku Shibasaki, an excellent playmaker. Didn't he sign with Kashima ?
Yea Shibasaki will be at Kashima which is quite terrifying. There's a great group of young strikers right now and it think that if Miyaichi wants to play for the national team then maybe learning where he stands by undertaking these trials will help him realize what he needs to do to reach a higher level of play. I forgot about Shigematsu, Osako, Ogawa and countless others.
