Two things on the Diego transfer

1. It looks like Ulsan Hyundai put in a bid for Diego as well but Verdy is the frontrunner. This was taken from Kazu 1968 who got this off The Kashiwa site. How sweet would it be for Verdy to not only steal the best player from a team that relegated them just 2 seasons ago AND beat out the team that knocked them out of the ACL last year?

2. Nothing will probably be official until after the 31st......that's when the Kashiwa rental deal with Palmieras expires. Ramos hinted at the press conference that something would be known THIS WEEK.

* I also know a kid who plays for the Kashiwa youth system who said that he's gone and leaving for Verdy......he's 13 and a bad student, so take it with a pound of salt!!!!!!!!
