Grampus Clearing House for New Acquisitions?

To date Nagoya Grampus have announced the signing (or promotion from the youth team) of seven players. At the same time, the club has released 10 players and two coaches.

Apart from Davi, from relegated Sapporo, none of the signing can be called major acquisitions. The discrepancy between the number released and those arriving suggests that there will be another two or three players heading to Nagoya in the near future, probably after the Emperor's Cup finishes on January 1st. (Since the U-18s have already crashed out of the ongoing J-Youth Cup, we will probably not see any additional promotions this year.)
