As the season closed, transfer market is opened in
Japan.
Hiromi Hara returned back home and heads rolled on Yokohama's pitch. Brawling rumors seem never stopping in Urawa.
Let me pick some. Ahem, this is just my imagination and not based on any truth.
One. Will Abe join Urawa? As an Urawa fan, it sounds so exciting! If such a talented player join in,
Reds defense can be more solid and attaking can be more tacful.
But, How about Abe joining Gamba Osaka, if Miyamoto transfers? Gamba Osaka can increase its attacking options, more than just replaces Miyamoto with another good DF.
J title race will surely heat up!
Then, where is Nakanishi going? I don't know much about his recent form, but he is also a good utility player with experinece. It will be very interesting to see him lining up with other veterans in Yokohama FC! He is not a stranger to them and passing his own experience into younger players make the team stronger.
At last, Morioka is a good buy to a lot of teams, I guess. Though he could not do much in 2002, he was definitely one of the best contributors to fame of Asian Cup under Troussier. Honestly, I think he deserves Urawa's intrest, even though automatic starting slot is hardly warranted. He can be any DF in 3- or 4-line and his leading roll experience in Shimizu and national team do much in ACL, I believe.
Only God knows what happnes next....
