Adamın futbol hayatı şanssızlık ve sakatlıklarla geçmiş.Şu anki görünen hali müzmin sakat.
Geçmiş sakatlıkları olmasa çok faydalı olabilirdi.Ancak şu haliyle 200.000'e alınıp 900.000'e satılmış, muhtemelen sahada yalnız bir kaç maç görebileceğimiz bir transfer

Ne bileyim Murat'cim. Izlemedim ki. Ben genel konustum. Dunya kupasinda gordugum Japonya'yi temel alarak, buradaki amator liglerde gordugum Japon cocuklara bakarak oyle bir yorum yaptim. Arada Japonya ligine goz atmisligim vardir. Tempo cok hizli ama korakor fiziksel mucadele yok, defans yok, kaleci yok. Arada inanilmaz guzel goller atiyorlar, uzaktan sutlarlan sanarsin topa fuze takmislar ama Japonya disina cikinca fos. Nakamara vardi en cok taninan o da bir yere kadar oynayabildi.Murat Biricik wrote:Japonlar cok hirsli, cigerleri kuvvetli, inatci, yapiskan oluyorlar.
Absurd bir soru sormak istiyorum. Bu elemandan devsirme sag bek olur mu?
Illaki Asyali oyuncu alinacaksa Kore'li alinmaliydi. Mesela su Manchester da oynayan Park cok iyi bir topcu. PSV'den gelmisti. Arada yedek giriyor, ender 11 oynuyor ama ben her gordugumde begendim. Bizde cok rahat oynar.
Japon yerine Iran'li oyuncu bile alinabilirdi. Gorgen burada bir suru isim yaziyordu.
Saglik olsun, sakat cikmasin, en azindan korkunc para harcamadilar. O da bir teselli.

2004 de Ingiltere macinda kaval kemigini kirmis, geri gelmesi cok uzun zaman almis. Fulham'da Tigana'nin altinda da oynamis. Kiralanmis ve alt liglerde begenilmis. Form durumu supheli, sakatliginin psikolojik etkisini atlamamissa, Turkiye liginde korkarak oynacaktir, basarili olmasi cok zor. Carrusca'nin halini goruyorsunuz.

Inamoto orta sahada oynayacak ve bizim topcu kardeslerimiz kendisine pas atacak. Geciniz. Ilic e alısmaları, elemanın bir hayli gol atması ve kritik macları cevirmesini takiben bir sene aldı. Daha Ayhan gectigimiz maclardan birinde verdigi roportajda, gelecek potansiyel oyuncundan bizler de birseyler ogrenmeliyiz mealinde acıklama yaptı. Kendilerini Avrupa da oynamaga layık goren burnu havada topcular Inamoto ile sadece el kol hareketi paylasırlar.Ne bileyim Murat'cim. Izlemedim ki. Ben genel konustum.

Ben damage control misali:
Japonların genel spor etigi olgun, buna ilave calıskanlar ve hırslılar. Inamoto nun yetenekli oldugu bircok yerde yazılmıs. Orta sahayı zaten gectim; acaba bu karısımdan devsirme bir sag bek cıkar mı merakındayım.
Hay Allahım; su transfer sezonunu transfersiz kapatamadık! Tek teselli kaynagı toplam maliyetinin ( bonservis + bizden alacagı bir senelik net para miktarı) 1 milyon USD. Ben Inamoto ya 1 Milyon USD civarı bonservis verebilecegimize inanmıyorum, inanmakta istemiyorum.

Kulubumuzde transfer icin ugrasan agabeylerimize zerre kadar nezaketsizlik yapmak yada bilgilerini sorgulamak benim haddime degil. Zaten futbolu o kadar bildigimi de iddaa etmiyorum. Carrusca ya ilave Inamoto yu alıyorlarsa dusundukleri ve bildileri mutlaka vardır. Hayırlı olsun!
Benim sozum, canım PAF lı kardeslerimize. Canlarım gozlerinizi acın! Ferhat, Ugur Ucar, Aydın, Ates, Volkan Bekci ve digerleri. Sezon basında acılan su transfer baslıgındaki topcuların cok buyuk bir bolumunun pabucunu dama atarsınız. TD size bir iki mac kadroya almasa dahi, yuruyuse devam.
Gunes balcıkla sıvanmaz. Eninde sonunda forma sizlerin. Mumkun oldugunca cabuk gelin de hem yoneticisini, hem taraftarını bu iskenceden kurtarın!

Artik derslerini almis gorunuyorlar, adam almis olmak icin transfer yapmakdan vaz gectiler sanmistim. Yanilmisim. Aldiklari adami hic duymadim, yukarda yazanlara gore bizde oyniyamaz.
Kimse oynadigi mevkiden bahsetmemis. Kirilan bacaktan sonra on libero gibi fiziki mucadele istiyen bir pozisyanda yuksek randimanli oynamak bana cok zor geliyor. Alti ay sonra yoneticiler cikar biz bunun sakatlikdan yeni ciktigini bilmiyorduk deyip isin icinden cikarlar.

WEST BROMWICH ALBION v FULHAM
Junichi Inamoto is, as Winston Churchill might have said, a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma. A surprise, then, that Inamoto is flourishing under Bryan Robson with West Bromwich Albion.
Robson usually has no time for enigmas - take Jason Koumas, for example - but Inamoto is a different kind of mystery.
There was a time, during the 2002 World Cup, when Inamoto could do no wrong and emerged as Japan's best player. Even if he had developed an offensive body-odour problem, every citizen of Tokyo would still have gathered around to pay homage.
But time moves quickly in football. Inamoto failed to make the grade with Arsenal, hardly set the world alight during a loan spell with Fulham, and somehow secured a move to The Hawthorns in August 2004.
On paper, it should have been a good move for Inamoto and for Albion but the player was never likely to do well under a disciplinarian like Gary Megson.
Inamoto turned up with a broken ankle, did not look happy, and watched in surprise as Megson self-destructed. Then Robson took over and then, in December 2004, sent Inamoto on loan to Cardiff City.
Inamoto, aged 26, is a midfield player of rare quality who responds to those who pay respect.
That is why, now that Inamoto has been welcomed back at The Hawthorns with open arms, he is finally comfortable in the Premiership. At last, the player is famous outside Japan as well as inside.
Inamoto is sure to be the starting line-up when Albion play at home to Fulham today. The question is this: would Inamoto be there if it was not for a DVD put together by Robson recently?
Robson made it clear on the ten-minute programme, specially put together by the club, that the defensive side of Inamoto's game had to improve - the same qualities the manager had tried, unsuccessfully, to install into Koumas who has been loaned out to Cardiff City.
In contrast, Inamoto took on board the observations of the former England captain and, channelled alongside his natural flair and ability to go forward, it has made him into a more complete player.
Robson felt that Inamoto was 'the best player on the pitch' when Albion lost 3-1 to Manchester United in the League Cup fourth round last Wednesday. Even if defeat, Inamoto had much about which he could smile.
'It's been the best few months I've had at the club because I've been playing full games all the time and I am enjoying this spell,' he said.
'The management made a DVD which helped me a lot. I had some weak points and it helped me fix some of the weaknesses I had, first during training and then in the games.
'Arsene Wenger and [Fulham manager] Chris Coleman didn't do that with me. It's the first time someone has gone to the effort of doing that.
'The main problem seemed to be my defending. The manager said my passing and attacking was good but I was finding defending quite difficult. The DVD made it quite easy to see where I was going wrong.
'I appreciated the efforts Albion made to help me and enable me to improve. Sometimes it's difficult to know your weak points but the manager told me and showed me this and I was happy he did.'
Robson sees the similarities between Koumas and Inamoto but believes that the latter has the better attitude.
'Jason Koumas has got similar abilities to Inamoto,' Robson said. 'The harder part is the the defensive side because everyone wants to be on the ball and play.
'To play in the Premiership, you have to do the defending side as a central midfield player. Jason didn't take that on board and that's why I released him to Cardiff on loan.
'Inamoto has taken that on board and he has tried to adopt that into his game and he is doing it very well at the moment.'
Japan have qualified for the World Cup and Inamoto is sure to play a significant in their bid to confirm themselves as the best footballing nation in Asia. Japan needs an Inamoto in good condition, just as he needs the stage to show off his unique skills.
'My condition last season was not good but, after going to Cardiff, I felt a lot better,' Inamoto said.
'I didn't have much chance of getting in the side here because Kieran Richardson was here and Ronnie Wallwork was also playing well.
'I knew it would be difficult to play last season. It was a fairly bad injury but I never thought I couldn't get back to the form I had showed before the injury.
'I feel I am a much better player now because of the things I've done with my game. My condition now is pretty good and I feel I can play for 90 minutes. I just need to keep playing now.'
Inamoto is clearly content with life under Robson - 'a legend and a great man' - at The Hawthorns and would like to spend a lengthy spell with the club.
'I like English football and I would like to stay at West Brom as long as I can because I'm very happy here. I would also like to keep playing constantly and then I can continue this kind of form.'
Robson is not likely to take the credit for Inamoto's improvement. The player already had the natural ability.
All it needed was a bit of encouragement here and there, some constructive criticism, and a desire to bring the best out of the player. All parties seem happy with the results.
'I am pleased with Inamoto's improvement,' Robson said. 'To be fair to Ina, when I first came to the club he was just recovering from a broken leg and that hindered him a lot and that is why I allowed him to go out on loan to Cardiff.
'But since he came back in pre-season training, he was very good in pre-season games and since I have given him a settled role in the midfield area with Ronnie Wallwork, those two have been very good over the past four or five games.
'His defending side as a central midfield player has improved and that is why, for me now, he is playing the way he is playing. Ina worked hard in training on the aspects of his game we were talking about and he took it into matches which is the most important time to do it.
'Ina is a bit like Kieran Richardson as a central midfield player. He likes to sprint up and close the ball down and he likes to be more advanced than a sitting player and that suits Ronnie who likes to sit in there and allow the other midfielder to go and press forward and cover for people.'
And Inamoto is one reason why Albion have shown an improvement in recent weeks. You can have all the workhorses in the world but, until you bring the best out of players like Junichi Inamoto, you will always under-achieve.
Fortunately, Robson could see what was required, and Albion are reaping the benefits.

THE PREMIERSHIP WEST BROMWICH ALBION v MANCHESTER UTD
With an average of one a season Junichi Inamoto will never be remembered for the quantity of his goals. More likely, when he finally returns to Japan his epitaph in English football will note the quality and importance of the few he did score.
And the writer will need a good record book next to him, too, given that it is well over two years since the attacking midfielder found the back of a Premiership opponents' net. Yet the fact that we can even recall it says something about the incident.
Inamoto was playing for Fulham at the time and was a key part of a team that was winning 2-1 away to the reigning Premiership champions Manchester United.
With ten minutes remaining the Japanese international raced through the United defence and smeared home Fulham's third from 20 yards. Even the Old Trafford faithful had to acknowledge Inamoto's strike was a thing of beauty.
"It was my best goal in English football," Inamoto recalled this week, seemingly unaware he was bestowing an honour akin to former employer Mohammed Al-Fayed being named Harrods Best Owner 2006. There's hardly many to choose from.
Now at West Bromwich Albion, Inamoto has yet to score in a league game but with Manchester United visiting The Hawthorns today and Albion fighting for their Premiership lives once more, he acknowledges there could not be a better time to open his account.
The 26-year-old is the chief beneficiary of the five-match suspension handed to teammate Nigel Quashie, after the former Portsmouth man was sent off for kicking Middlesbrough's George Boateng in the back.
With two matches gone the jury is still out but Inamoto has three more opportunities in which to convince manager Bryan Robson he is the man to fill the hole left by Kieran Richardson.
He accepts a goal or two wouldn't harm his prospects, saying: "I've had a few chances for Albion but I haven't scored in the Premiership, hopefully, I will get more in the next few games.
"Nigel is out for the next three games so that means I've got a very good chance but the next three games are very hard. Hopefully, I will play in those, starting against Manchester United. We all need to put in a good performance and I need to show I'm in good shape. I need to show a good performance to the gaffer.
"I don't think the fans have seen the best of me yet but my performances have grown so hopefully I will show more for the fans and for the team. But I don't feel any pressure at all and I look forward to every game."
As well he might because during the five years since he left Gamba Osaka and his homeland, first-team football has been very hard to come by.
He appeared in only two League Cup fixtures for the team that brought him over, Arsenal, and managed only 30 starts in two years at Craven Cottage before Gary Meg-son mysteriously lured him to the Midlands.
A loan spell at Cardiff City last season had something of a restorative effect and went sufficiently far to persuade Robson to use him on 21 occasions in the present campaign.
It's all come at the right time for Inamoto who is keen to add to the 57 caps he has for his country at this summer's World Cup. To do that he has to be seen by national team manager Zico and that means avoiding the substitutes' bench.
"Now I need to play every game for West Brom to play for the Japan national team," Inamoto said. "I scored two goals for Japan in the last World Cup."
Indeed he did, against Belgium and Russia, which is another reason why he'll forever be remembered not as a great goalscorer but as a scorer of great goals.
Inamoto could continue in midfield today and Paul Robinson is expected to be fit after he suffered a knock in the 1-1 draw with Birmingham City.
Having scored in that match Nathan Ellington is pressing for a recall but Zoltan Gera will not be fit in time.
Albion have announced their 3,700-ticket allocation for the match with Aston Villa at Villa Park has sold out.

Japonya standartlarina gore parlak bir oyuncu oldugu belli ancak bizim ligde hele CL'de ne kadar iyi bir referanstir bu, iste o tartisilir. Hele Ingiltere'de 2.ligde oynadigina gore...Murat Biricik wrote:Junichi Inamoto is one of Japan's top defensive midfielders, and has become a fixture on the national team with sparkling play in both the Olympic U-23 side and the full national team which won the Asian Cup. Inamoto is a classic volante, with a nose for the ball, an aggressive attitude, and the strength to muscle an opponent off the ball. Just as important are his offensive skills...
Yine de ben bu transfere sevindim soyle ki, en azinda yonetim cok daha buyuk paralar vererek ise yaramayacak bir transfer yapabilirdi. Simdiyse en azinda €900,000 ile kurtulmus olduk.

Inamoto Istanbul'a gelmis. Derlenmis mac goruntulerini de izledim. Bizim ligde isimize yarar gibi geliyor. Hucum yonu kuvvetli, paslari duzgun gibi. Ancak uyum nasil saglar buraya bilemiyorum, oldukca farkli bir kultur sonucta.
CL'de biraz olsun basari yakalarsak Japonya'da Galatasaray adinin tanitimi icin guzel bir firsat olur. Tabi bu firsati degerlendirebilir miyiz, orasi ayri konu:
