Midfield reinforcement


Masahiro Ohashi, a 168cm MF from Yokohama F Marinos, has decided to shed the tricolor and don the brilliant green of Verdy.
(Sports Hochi www.yomiuri.co.jp/hochi/soccer/jan/o20060108_60.htm ) Ohashi had one goal and 5 assists in 25 league games for Yokohama FM last year. He spent most of his career in the red, white, and blue, with J2 stops in Mito (2001, 7 goals) and Albirex (2002). I'm a little surprised to see Marinos give up on a young talent like this, I'm thinking it's got to be a rental. The article mentions his free kick on set plays.

I'd pencil him as a starter. Looks like Kobayashi is leaving.
