Taeguk Warriors Transfer Thread

And with that, I lost any further motivation to respond to you.

 

PJS won't (volunatrily) leave because United is part of his DNA. I know that sounds corny, but his goal celebration against Liverpool and Wolves told it all.

Also, him quitting the NT was to prolong his career as a footballer. The other factors (appeasing SAF, giving young Koreans the chance to develop, etc) were secondary imo.

 

Yeup...if he's not pushed out, he's got no problem just keeping Giggs company.

 

Prediction: Kim Bokyung goes to Manchester United if Kagawa doesn't go there.

 

I hope neither go there.

 

Don't really care for the former but I really wouldn't want another Korean heading over there. Sick of those manure fans.

 

I really don't want to see KSY going to the Premier League actually. Sick of that s##t. I know they're totally different players, but Kim Do-Heon and Seol Ki-Hyeon in the Premier League. Was very exciting, especially Kim Do-Heon (Seol Ki-Hyeon's story being something more of a tragedy) but I'm sick of seeing disappointments in the Premier League. Germany looks great with KJC doing well there and a lot of quality Japanese prospects. If someone broke the deadlock and succeeded in Spain, though, I could see the floodgates open. KSY is a technically quality player, it would be much more satisfying to see him be a sort of frontiersman for Koreans in La Liga (ignore LCS) and succeed, rather than trying to succeed by overcoming ridiculously hyped standards set by fans who have some freakish fetish for the Premier League. He's got the quality, and he's got the experience at Celtic. Move on. Preferably away from England

 

Even if he ends up in the EPL, it won't be that bad as he's already fluent in english and won't need an adjustment period. Both, imo, big factors when considering a switch.

 

what makes you think so? because both are creative attacking midfielders, plus the asian market connection?

 

Other than the fact that he's a very good footballer, it'd have nothing to do with his abilities as a footballer.

Manchester United signed Park Jisung partially for overseas marketing reasons and enjoyed a lucrative return the past few years. If they are really looking into signing Kagawa, global promotion would be among their top priority. If they fail to land Kagawa this summer [and Park Jisung leaves the club in 1 or 2 years], someone will have to replace the marketing lost and there would be no better substitute. Kim Bokyung would be the Korean version of Chicharito, if you will. They nearly signed then completely unknown Park Chuyoung back in 2007 and they don't shy away from signing scrubs like Dong Fangzhou specifically for commercial purposes so I don't believe the chances are nearly as remote as it may initially sound.

 

Why don't we make a new thread 2012 Taeguk Warriors Transfer 'Rumor' Thread? This thread is so full of discussion with no new information.
By the way, why is it Taeguk Warriors? It only refers to NT players

 

Change it to geuk as well

unless we want to talk about Teerasil's future.

 

Kim Bokyung won't be going to United

 

Transfer talk, by definition, is nothing but rumor. It's all rumor until the player actually signs a contract. Just ask PCY.

In other words, Transfer Talk = Gossip

 

thanks for the response. from a marketing standpoint, i would think players like honda and ksy offer greater value. i was wondering if you think kbk possesses specific attributes that distinguishes him from others - a skillset that fits better with the club's needs, greater potential, etc.

 

So in the aftermath of today's results, where will LCY be given time to get back to form and move on to bigger and better things?

At this point, I wouldn't mind if Roberto Martinez buys LCY and puts his trust in him. Moreover, after this season, I wouldn't mind if Wigan came calling for KSY and pair the double dragons under his system. Give them a couple of years before the WC, and send them on their way.

It's not Champions League glory we were hoping for them next season. But it might be the most beneficial to the KNT and their careers at this point.

 

Ki Sungyong to West Ham for me. Plenty of talent, but lack of depth. Ki Sungyong can help in the department. Might even be able to sneak into the starting eleven at the start of the season if he can fake himself into being a defensive midfielder--the bullying one, not the deep lying one.

Lee Chungyong shouldn't have to go to a relegation battling club. He's proven himself to be more and he deserves more. Either he looks into another league [where there won't be someone to go after his legs every other match] or sticks around until he gets an offer from a club certain to finish in the top half of the standings. My opinion, of course.

 

LCY to Hamburg? HSV needs width under Fink's system. And now, he'll be affordable for them... Just a thought.

Open to more suggestions. I'm completely at a loss for what he should do after today.

 

Arneson/Fink needs central players and won't have any money left over for LCY when its all said and done. Plus I'd rather not have too many eggs in the unproven Fink basket... nor do I think Hamburg will be much better off next year.

 

He should come to Benfica.
