Park Ju-Young @ Arsenal F.C. 2013-2014 [R]

Probably money

 

doubt it is money issue this time. don't think PCY's wages are HIGH as everyone is making it ought to be..
Plus, Wigan can actually afford PCY's wage without the help of Arsenal subsidizing portion of his wage. Grant Holt is supposedly on similar wage as PCY is right now (if not slightly higher)..

 

Wigan aint exactly rich either tho. And arsenal will want wigan to pay as much as possible during the loan. Hopefully we get closure in the next couple days.

 

True but this is emergency loan. I'm sure Wigan were or are prepared to pay PCY's entire wage during the loan period.

However, this is all probably BS since we have tabloids like Daily Star expecting "season-long loan" for PCY.

 

According to the Guardian, Holt's wages with Norwich was 30k/week. I believe PCY's wages with Arsenal is 40k/week. http://www.theguardian.com/football/2013/may/29/norwich-grant-holt-melbourne-heart

Celta's loan fee to Arsenal last season was 800,000 euro (I think) and they only had to pay partial wages.

 

Ahh, you are right about Grant Holt. Or at least I believe Guardian more over tabloids as Mirror/Daily Star (found some link/quote with Holt on 40k).

 

Park is getting paid 50k a week at Arsenal right now. Holt is getting paid at best 30k. I reckon the true value is around 27k, what he was getting at Norwich.

Riight. So Wigan will gamble 50k a week for a player who has flopped badly in club football for the last two years when they have cheaper options? Unless Whelan's gone mad he will never agree to do this. At most Wigan will pay 50% of the wages if Park does actually. Wigan had their top players wages cut to survive in the Championship. You don't seriously think that the would jeopardise that to get Park paying him 50k a week, right?

Also, according to the Korean media, the deadline that Wigan had set was the 8th... So...

 

For one, this is emergency loan if it actually happens. Also, Wigan doesn't have any leverage.... they should be prepared to eat up majority of his salary. And no, Wigan did not have their top players wages cut as guys like Shaun Maloney is still getting his EPL salary.

As for Grant Holt, he was on 30 to 32k at Norwich (he bitched to get a raise the previous season from 17k.. while Aston Villa were supposedly rdy to offer him 40k or so that season to get him).

 

What I'm saying is Wigan can get strikers who's actually been playing for the last two years on emergency loan. And for much less than 50k. For some reason I highly doubt Wigan would pay that amount of money. I guess that's the major stumbling block right now. No sane club would pay 50k for Park's wages, and Arsenal doesn't want to pay either.

 

Well, yea. And as for Arsenal.. they are paying PCY 40 or 50k, whatever his exact salary is right now. I don't have a clue WTF Arsenal is doing with PCY in general. Could have unloaded him during summer if they were willing to subsidize 50% of his salary...

 

Might as well reminisce the days where the Korean media were cult worshipping Park... That was much less painful to see than what's going on now. Putting up some good ones to lighten up the mood here...



A better version:

 

Ronaldo had some insane strength in his shots. He was extremely unpredictable b/c of his quick release and power. There aren't that many strikers that can do this. A lot of the older Italian/Series A strikers had this ability but now these days strikers seem to go for accuracy over power. (I think its largely due to the fact that good teams are adopting the 4-3-3 / 4-5-1 formation. they all try to stretch out the opposing defense)

 

haha, really? Where do they get this stuff?

 

I doubt PCY's wanting/not wanting to go was the slow part of this loan.

 

The most likely issue being resolved right now is the percentage of his wages that Arsenal will pay/provide as a subsidy to Wigan. Once that's resolved, this should probably go through imo.

 

Until wenger plays too hardball and Wigan end up looking elsewhere.

 

No clue. I couldn't find any other press mentioning that aside from the Korean media. I'm guessing there was a rumour on a fan forum and that became a story. Nothing new here.

 

One day Owen Coyle will manage the KNT. :trollface:

 

DON'T. EVEN. MENTION. THE THOUGHT OF IT

 

hahaha, wow... idiots..
I mean.. really, idiots.
checked Korean media for Korean NT & this is the garbage i find

Oh well. Looks not good at this point for an ideally timed loan (with intl break to fit in).
