Johnsen about Nagoya's title chances


Nagoya's norwegian star Frode Johnsen has dismissed any talks about his team winning the title in a recent interview. Goal.com have a nice article about it here: http://www.goal.com/en/Articolo.aspx?ContenutoId=867877
Johnsen is Nagoya's topscorer at the moment, but the club are yet to give him a new contract offer for next season. That means they might not be interested keeping him, and already a few other J.League teams have shown their interest. I would imagine a club like Albirex Niigata or Omiya Ardija would suit him well, although Omiya now have a similar type in Klemen Lavric.
Also his mother-club in Norway, Odd Grenland, are keen to bring him back, and with Odd facing promotion to Norway's highest league, they could do well with an established player like Johnsen in their ranks. They won't be able to match any of the japanese sides salary though, but Johnsen have stated before he would like to end his career in Odd.The stories can also be found at the norwegian site NorskeFans : http://www.norskefans.com/verden/
