One Kobayashi out, one to go?



Wow, go back to work and hell breaks loose in Verdyland. We'll start with news from Saitama. Go!Go!Omiya Ardija and the Tokyo Verdy 1969 website are reporting that Yoshiyuki Kobayashi is headed to the Orange Empire. The good news for Verdy is that MF Shin Kanazawa will be coming to Verdy on a one year loan. Kanazawa netted 2 goals and an assist in 18 games.

Other noteworthy deals for Verdy, Ventforet Kofu DF Yukihiro Aoba, Cerezo Osaka MF Nozomi Hiroyama, and Vegalta Sendai MF/FW Koji Matsuura all will be members of the Mean Green in 2006. Ramos and his staff were officially introduced. And one more thing......

Originally found on MASA-NET, 70 Verdy supporters, thouroughly disgusted by the losses of Washington, Gil, Yoneyama, Soma, Toda, and now Kobayashi the elder, decided to hold an 8 hour sit-in in front of the team clubhouse in an act that was reminiscent of the Kashiwa fan rebellion last season. This is starting to get a bit ugly for the Verdy front office.

I will post more later on the new acquisitions and other rumors possibly out there.
