I'm guessing road trips to Mito is one of those places. Takashi Hirano is off to Croatia to talk with officials of NK-Osijek about a job next year. Hirano was left off the 35 man roster for Verdy and figured to not be returning. He had a tryout in France which didn't go great and his options in Japan are fairly limited so it looks like (to me, Masa at MASA-NET, and the good folks at Sports Hochi) that he's probably on his way out. Here's some quick facts
NK-Osijek: Currently 5th in the twelve team division 1 Croatian league. They are 17 points behind perrenial Croat powerhouse Dinamo Croatia.
Takashi Hirano: Played 27 games for Verdy last season in the midfield. Hirano started his career in 1993 for Nagoya Grampus 8. He's played in 340 career games with 53 goals. He's played for Kyoto, Vissel Kobe and Jubilo Iwata, as well as Nagoya and Verdy.
Move 37? Possibly.
DEATH AND TAXES: I'm guessing another place that's not as nice as Croatia right now is Brazil. Former J-leaguer Emerson was arrested for having 2 birth certificates and now former Verdy Goal machine Washington is being held on suspicion of tax evasion. Sponichi Annex reported that Washington was being questioned for tax evasion in Brazil and it's going to delay his start to training camp (I babel fished this article so it's possible he murdered a taxi driver.......gotta love the fish!) It seems like he's in the clear on this and it's just procedural, but again it's babelfish so maybe he'll be executed........who knows?
