Takahashi scored 19 goals in 42 games for Roasso and finished 2nd place at the overall topscorers behind Sanfrecces Hisato Sato.
The 28-year old from Tokyo already played for Sanfrecce Hiroshima, Omiya Ardija, JEF United Chiba. In 2006 he moved to Kumamoto and in 2007 he joined the J2 with them.

All Avispa Goals in 2008

Thanks from Avispa!

Thank you guys!

4 Guys will leave us and we want to say thank you!

Takanori Nunobe
Ufuk Talay
Mark Rudan
Shingo Honda


Nuno was one of our vice-captains this season. With his much expericence he lead the team very well and he didn't need the captains armband for it. He stayed with us in 3 hard seasons and he really kept the team togehter!


Talay was the best of the 4 Aussies we had in the last 2 seasons. He really impressed and was not one of the foreigners who come to Japan and want to make the fast money and then leave the islands as quick as possible. Ufuk really deserves this money with 5 goals and we keep him good in our mindes.


Mark was injured the most of the season and couldn't show what he's good for. Too bad for him, but we want to thank him that he stayed with us the whole season.



Shingo was just a sub, but he did his job well

Kudo in hospital

Midfielder Kiyokazu Kudo went to hospital in Fukuoka City on tuesday for a athroscopy because of his knee-injury.
Everything worked well and now he got enough time to rest over the christmas days :)
Let's hope he can join the team as quick as possible.

Thanks!

After a little time of sadness and frustration, we should be proud of our team and look forward to the new season and the new challanges!
We don't have to hide somewhere after we failed the expactations of the experts, because our team showed great heart, even we lost the view to our season-goal pretty early, but we ended the season 2008 with dignity and I'm sure we will be one of the favourites for a place in the top in 2009 again.

WE ARE PROUD OF YOU GUYS!
THANK YOU AVISPA!

Hi friends and readers! :)
