Characters from a hugely popular anime called K-ON! I only know this because I just watched the series >_>
From one insider: Sanga plans to return to J1 in two seasons. There were no funds allocated for the 2011 season, there will be no big acquisitions, the season will be used to help young players to grow -- so that you know!
Any sort of backup plan in case these youngsters don't become promotion-quality material? A little bit of money to splash around on two or three players in that 2012 season to make sure they don't need to screw up their team to prepare for J1 in 2013? Am I giving Sanga too much credit with these assumptions?

Tae-Hwi is for sale, but so far only offers from Korea, and he doesn't want to go back. With an explosive knee and a US$700,000 contract he is not exactly a bargain. Jung took for now Thiego's spot. I know the guy who followed and picked Jung, thus I assume it must be a very good player.
Diego and Dutra confirmed... they could not find anybody to pick them on loan... Practice for 2011 starts... TOMORROW!! Kyoto soccer had NO BREAK!!
Kyoto Soccer in 2011: Sanga Junior Youth (U15) - National Finalist Sanga Youth (U18) - National Semifinalist Kumiyama High School - National Finalist Sanga (J1) - Relegated in J2.....
The future's bright? It was nice to see a couple of Kansai schools in the final of something other than the baseball though. Maybe Kyoto is the next J League heartland
