Something old, Something new

Ahh, just when you thought Verdy was done playing roster roulette, they decide to bring in two more lambs into the J2 slaughterhouse.


The first signing is former Verdy defender and FC Horikoshi refugee Takumi Hayama. Hayama last played in the J league for (then) soon to be relegated Vegalta Sendai in 2003. He is 27 years old and full of vigor. Welcome home, Takumi!

The next signing is rather intriguing. Urawa schoolboy and international traveller Masaki Saito played abroad in China and Brazil before finding a home at Shizuoka FC. Saito is only 25 and has some potential. Takayuki Morimoto is all but falling off the depth chart and Kazuki Hiramoto hasn't really been seen since the car accident..........don't know if this is just Ramos filling in depth or a portent of things to come, we'll see! I kinda like both signings, experienced but not old........they might just be here for depth, which is needed right now.
