Thanks! Yes, but for a seocnd division team, is quite big. More if u consider than the second biggest is 4M, just two players, and the rest got 250.000, 300.000, 500.000... He doesnt say too much. He just say: Hello, I just can speak a little of spanish...well...Visca Sabadell, visca Catalunya!! (Which is like long live Sabadell, long live Catalunya, but in catalan) Is a pitty for him not to have the posibility to return to Sabadell. He was one of the main causes why Sabadell got promoted, he is loved there and know the team...
Thanks. He seems to be really popular in Sabadell... Well, if Girona wants to get rid of him, it makes no sense to let him rot on the bench, so something will happen, I suppose...
The release clauses in Spain are there only for protection. In a way if someone is crazy enough to pay such money the team doesn't really mind losing them. (in majority cases at least) So it is just a safety measure to ensure they dont lose a player without their approval. If someone will offer a decent price, they will sell him right away...
Honma is like switching clubs every season now isn't he? Hope he finds his form of the first season in Hungary. But more than that I hope he steps up to another league.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kazuo_Honma Uh oh... you're right. I had the image of him of scoring nearly each game 2, 3 years ago.
So Roji, Is Ibusuki trying to leave Girona? Or has he decided to fight for a spot? Surely some team will be willing to give him a chance.
I dont know 100%, but I am almost sure he will like to stay. He had been in Catalunya since he arrived to Spain, he loves the city, and I heard him saying on the radio once that he was happy in Girona even in the bench. He has a strong personality, and if he has the chance he will fight for a sport. BTW, very sad news for Javi Acuña, a paraguayan striker loaned from Real Madrid Castilla just get injured for about 6 months, but these increase tha chances of Hiroshi.
Ok, I like his attitude, but it seems like he's in a similar situation to Morimoto. I think he feels that he has an obligation to the club since they brought him there, but I can't help but feel that he is wasting his time. Hopefully he gets playing time this season.
At this point I think what matters is he keeps playing and scoring even more in a season. Just get into that habit soon.
Last news are Girona doesnt want Hiroshi, and he is 100% out, the destination not known yet, and it wont be a loan again. Girona's technical director, Xavi Julia, is looking for a replacement to Acuña, and when asked, he didnt even mention Hiroshi, as if he was not in the team anymore. He must ran away from there soon.
Wow, Do you know what his possible destinations are? Is he intent on staying in Spain? Or does he want to go back to Japan?
Shozo Otsuka used to play in France, where did he go? his video on PSG [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oKXot8H8jtw"]Shozo Otsuka (?? ??) - PSG (february 2005)‏ - YouTube[/ame]
No idea. He is in a tough situation, cuz his contract expirex next summer, and he cant be loanded again. Girona are not in a hurry, cuz his salary is not high, and want to wait for a good offer, ans so are the teams who may want him, who will wait to pick him for free next year instead for paying the price Girona is asking for him, which I dont know but there are rumours that is not a low price. The only thing I am sure of is that his agent is horrendous.
Anyway if he doesn't get picked he can always come back in Japan and make his name known here, he's well known in the JFA. Probably starting in J2 or a weak J1 team. Avispa has engaged a big striker named Ramazzotti, I'd rather see Hiroshi there.
Roji, What are Ibusuki's chances at Sevilla B? They're playing in the 3rd division so I believe that he can do well again next season. Do Sevilla A need a striker?
They are playing Segunda B, which I think is what u mean by Thirds Division. But they are a solid team, and they almost got promoted these season. I think he is going to play, cuz Sevilla event wanted him if for Second Division. Their best striker, Rodri, doesnt want to stay in Sevilla Atletico and he want a first time place, but I think he is going to be loaned to Elche, so better for Hiro. Is a very good move I think. Sevilla's youth system is pretty good, and their youth team players usually have some changes with the A team. Marcelino, the new Sevilla coach, which I know very well from his time at Sporting de Gijón, like to work with young players, and he likes tall strikers like Hiroshi. Indeed, if Kanoute is staying, is because of him. Anyway, is very soon to know, and I dont know so much about Sevilla Atletico. I'll search some forums and I'll try to know how Sevilla's fans feel about these move. EDIT: Sevilla had pay 150.000 € + variables + friendly match against Girona.

So that's Koki's little brother. Is he on trial for the youth team or pro? Anyway, is Koki still in Portugal? Anyone know?
I think that Koki is back in Japan, there was an article a month ago that said he was training with Shimizu S-Pulse
