Takashi Usami confirms he's on loan to Bayern. That will be fun to watch, I'll have someone to root for in Munich for once!

You know what really gets me? The J-League is in DIRE need of financial restructuring. Look at the Japanese players that are leaving J1 for greener pastures. Kagawa, Nagatomo, Usami will officially depart soon, Abe, etc. There's a LOT to like about many of the Japanese players. It's made even better because those transfers don't amount to more than 1 million euros because the J-League financial transfer rules don't let them make any more cash! It's ridiculous!

The J-League will NEVER grow as long as they can't bring in big name talent, or have the flexibility to be involved in a 'big name signing'. It pains me to see it just static, kind of an academy for the big leagues, especially the Bundesliga and Serie A!

Oh, and River Plate falling. Never thought I'd see that happen, they're one of the constants, kind of like the big 3 (4?) in the EPL. Amazing how things can change.
