Daigo Kobayashi heading to MLS-side Vancouver Whitecaps.

 

"stupid" move, well it was probably purely $ orientated anyway

 

He was loaned to Norway, while Greece I think so yeah. Could be he likes to travel but somewhat I think it is the usual $$$

Deal is done.

As for making money in the MLS... :

Hate to be that guy who hypes up kids, but wow. I really hope he's the answer to our striker problems one day:

Don't need to open the link to know that it's Takefusa Kubo

 

(3)７日、露１部の強豪ゼニトが新潟ＦＷ川又堅碁に食指と現地メディアが報道した。ゼニトは移籍金として１０万ユーロを準備。

Anyone know anything about this rumor? Unfortunately the source seems to be Russian so I can't find it. Seems like a cheap gamble from Zenit's perspective, but a waste of time for Kawamata.

 

Escudero scored the only goal in a 1-0 win against Busan I'Park. He is doing very well here at Seoul.

 

Call him up, Zac!

 

he still likes to eat a lot? i guess he prefers playing well and scoring now...

​

Made it to this week's best XI.​

 

I thought Serie B teams couldn't sign non-EU players from abroad.

 

No.
If you wanna ruin Kakitani let him go to Serie A.

 

Chikashi Masuda scored a brace yesterday against Gyeongnam FC in a 3-1 win.

Masuda on this week's best XI.​

 

Escudero provided an assist today in our 2-1 win against Suwon Bluewings.

Also a short interview before the derby.



Q: You scored a goal and provided an assist at the Guangzhou game. This was a big game with a lot of pressure, but you played well. Did you have any "special" training?
SE: There was nothing special. I trained hard as always. I am happy that I got to score a goal and get a good
result.

Q: How is captain Ha to you?
SE: He is simple..normal. He likes talking to everyone. He likes to hear out what everyone has to say.

Q: Do you have any difficulties adapting to the Korean life?
SE: I like talking to my teammates, coaches and translator. We have a lot of things to talk about. Dejan, Molina, Adi, I like them all. They teach me many things and it helps me a lot.

Q: When you were in Japan, did you ever hear about the "Super Match" (The derby nickname given to the Seoul-Suwon derby match)
SE: I heard it from one of my former teammate, Takahara. I heard it was best derby in Korea.

Q: Are you preparing well for the derby match against Suwon?
SE: Since it is a derby match, I feel a bit nervous, but like always I am training hard.

Q: Are there any big derbies in Japan?
SE: In Saitama prefecture, we have the Urawa-Omiya derby. In Osaka prefecture, we have the Gamba-Cerezo derby. In Japan, we have different derbies in different prefecture, but compared to some of them the Seoul-Suwon is pretty big. The competitiveness of the match is very rare.

Q: Do you have any words for the fans?
SE: Hello, I am Escudero. Thank you for supporting us all the time. The match against Suwon is pretty big, but with your support we will win.

 

Escudero played a big role today by scoring a goal (@ the 90th min.) and providing an assist in our 2-2 draw against Incheon United. Since Suwon lost that means we got the ticket to the 2014 ACL. Also last week Escudero provided an assist for Dejan's goal against Guangzhou which ended in 1-1, but we lost since they won by the away goal rule.
