Out,Out,Out,Out, In....Good Lord!! Verdy sign a striker!!
Squad guys Koya Shimizu, Ryu Narushi and Hiroki Ebisawa got their marching orders today and Nigerian defender Adebayor went back to Reysol. The four players put in a stirling 40 seconds of first team action all season, this coming in the very last game with Shimizu coming on to replace Goal Machine in second half injury time.
However, more interestingly Verdy welcome aboard a new striker today Ryuichi Hirashige from Tokushima Vortis. Vortis were decent at times last season though Hirashige`s stats don`t read that well...77 games between Sanfrecce from 2007-09 and Tokushima last season knocking in 10 goals toatal. I will assume that he is more an attacking mid than an out and out striker, let`s hope so as if he`s a forward with those stats, we might have another Inoue on our hands God forbid!!

I hope Hirashige had played as a MF in Sanfrecce and Tokushima because I see we have only one seriously FW who is Hiramoto and we need another one!
ReplyDeleteI have a question for you. Some years ago I saw a player called Tomidokoro who did a really good youth tournament with Tokyo Verdy but I see he doesn't count for the first team. Do you know why?
He`s still in the squad but has fallen way down the pecking order,he made his debut in 2009 and did OK but not spectacular.Didn`t figure at all last season and probably destined to be a reserve under Kawakatsu. It`s probably better for him to move on to a new club where he can actually get a game.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Nick! I always thought Tomidokoro would be a good player.
