| A new era begins! | Posted on 2012-01-19 | |
 | Gamba's 2012 pre-season officially kicked off today with some interesting announcements. Firstly, Tomokazu Myojin remains in his position of captain but following the departure of former vice-captain Satoshi Yamaguchi a new deputy needed to be chosen and Yasuhito Endo will be that man. Secondly, there were a lot of departures and arrivals during the Winter and this means a lot of players changing squad numbers. Below is a list of all the movers and shakers: 4. Hiroki Fujiharu (Previously #15) 5. Daiki Niwa (Returning from loan) 6. Shigeru Yokotani (Previously #25) 11. Paulinho (New signing) 13. Shinichi Terada (Returning from loan) 14. Shu Kurata (Returning from loan) 15. Yasuyuki Konno (New signing) 19. Kotaro Omori (Previously #31) 20. Akihiro Sato (New signing) 22. Yohei Takeda (New signing) 25. Hiroyuki Abe (New signing) 26. Takaharu Nishino (Promoted from youth) 27. Tatsuya Uchida (Previously #30) 28. Katsuhisa Inamori (Promoted from youth) 30. Eduardo (New signing) 31. Ken Tajiri (Promoted from youth) The rumours of Konno taking the number 15 shirt were true after all. Paulinho takes over the number 11 from Usami and the number 22 shirt returns into the hands of a goalkeeper after just over a year in the possession of former striker Lee Keun-Ho. As is traditional, there is also a new slogan for the 2012 season. This year the club have gone with the simple "Yakudo.", which translates literally to "lively motion" or "throb". Make of that what you will! The uniforms are to remain the same as last season. Although the special Brazil-inspired "cup away" strip that made a total of two or three appearances last season seems to have been dropped. That's all to report for now. Let's hope for a lot of lively, throbbing football from Gamba in 2012! | Tags New Season |

| Opening J.League fixtures revealed. | Posted on 2012-01-17 | |
 | Gamba's 2012 league campaign will begin with a local derby double header. The opening round of fixtures takes place on the weekend of March 10th and Gamba will begin at home to Kansai rivals Vissel Kobe. The match promises to be a special affair as it will mark the return to Banpaku of Hideo Hashimoto and Kazumichi Takagi, both of whom departed following the completion of the 2011 season. Gamba completed a double over Vissel last season, winning 3-2 at home and 4-0 on the road, but they may not have it as easy this time round as Vissel have reinforced well over the Winter and look a much tougher proposition than they did last Summer. The second round of fixtures has thrown up an even more mouthwatering tie as Gamba will make their shortest away trip of the season by heading to the Nagai Stadium for the 36th Osaka derby. This clash will also feature a player returning to face former team-mates as Shu Kurata - on loan with Cerezo last term - will be hoping to put his ties with the pink half of Osaka to bed by inspiring an away win. Last season saw Gamba come out on top in the two league meetings, winning 2-1 at home on the opening day despite a goal from the aforementioned Kurata and then drawing 1-1 at the Nagai. This good record was somewhat tainted by the Champions League defeat so expect another intense and tight battle. The full list of fixtures will be released on February 1st so check back then for further details including the date of the Banpaku derby and clashes with our favourite foe - Urawa Reds. | Tags Fixtures J.League New Season Osaka Derby |

| Gamba finally get their man! | Posted on 2012-01-16 | |
 | The month-and-a-half long Konno transfer saga has finally reached a conclusion today with the result favouring Gamba as Yasuyuki Konno has become a Gamba player! The centre back was originally linked with Gamba at the end of November but, despite the two clubs being reported to have agreed a deal, Gamba were forced to wait to speak with Yasuyuki as he quite admirably wanted to focus on helping his former club in their Emperor's Cup campaign. Konno and FC Tokyo went on to win the trophy and seal Champions League football in the process, leading to worries that the Japan international would opt to stay in Tokyo. This worry was further increased as time dragged on following the cup final with no word from either side on the deal being complete. News sources regularly announced that the deal was close and would be completed soon but still no deal came - until today, that is, when the transfer was finally completed. Yasuyuki becomes the 9th new face at Gamba for 2012 and is more than a capable replacement for outgoing centre back Satoshi Yamaguchi. Capped 47 times for his country, he has a wealth of experience and talent to call upon and promises to be a top player for Gamba in 2012 and beyond. He has also already made his mark on Gamba's history by scoring the goal that denied Cerezo the 2005 J.League title, ensuring that it would end up at Banpaku instead.

| Shimohira leaves for Omiya Ardija. | Posted on 2012-01-12 | |
 | Takumi Shimohira's Gamba career has come to an end as he has signed for Omiya Ardija. Takumi made the step up to Gamba's first team in 2007 after coming through the Junior Youth and Youth teams between 2001 and 2006. He went on to work his way to becoming Gamba's first choice left back following the departure of Michi Yasuda but last season he struggled to keep his place in the team with Hiroki Fujiharu putting in some impressive performances to force his way into the team. The highlight of his season was most certainly the goal that he scored against champions Kashiwa Reysol - his first and final league goal for the club. With the announcement that new coach Wagner Lopes was bringing Brazilian left back Eduardo to the team it seemed like Takumi would have even more competition for his place. Perhaps that played a part in this transfer but it's a huge shame that Shimohira is moving on. Gamba's loss is certainly Omiya's gain. Shimohira made a total of 110 appearances during his 5 years with the club. Good luck at Ardija, Takumi! | Related Players Takumi Shimohira Tags Takumi Shimohira Transfer (Out) |

| Hirai joins Albirex on loan. | Posted on 2012-01-12 | |
 | Shoki Hirai will spend 2012 in Niigata after sealing a loan with Albirex. The young striker, dubbed "Naniwa's Henry" due to his love for the number 14 shirt much like the Arsenal legend, hit fine form in 2010 to become a key member of the Gamba squad as he scored 20 times in 41 appearances. This form sparked rumours of transfers to Europe and possible participation in the World Cup as well as earning him a nomination for a place in the Best 11 at the annual J. League awards and a place in the preliminary Japan squad for the Asian Cup. Unfortunately, that form didn't carry over into 2011 and he struggled to make an impact early on, which led to him losing his place and eventually falling behind Shota Kawanishi and Afonso in the pecking order. Towards the end of the year he struggled to even make the bench let alone the starting lineup. There had been hope that he could wipe the slate clean and work hard to impress the new coaching staff but it appears that he is not in their plans and his Gamba future is now in doubt. We wish Shoki well for the 2012 season and hope to see him back in a Gamba shirt in 2013! | Related Players Shoki Hirai Tags Loan (Out) Shoki Hirai |
