The Sponichi news site is reporting that rumoured Squirrels transfer target Masaki Fukai is to move to Nagoya Grampus 8 on a loan deal for 2008. This would seem to raise question marks, too, over the outcome of Omiya's formal offer to JEF United for international striker Seiichiro Maki, given that Maki played alongside Fukai in the highly-regarded Komazawa University team of 2000 - and also that Seiichiro's younger brother Yuki Maki is also on the books at Grampus.
