a lot on his shoulder already. got the entire country on his back. making him the biggest import from vietnam ever. it will be interesting how he does over two yr period. incheon has a fantastic stadium to play their home games. team is expecting to generate revenue from truong. he's gonna have to play well to earn a starting spot on the team. no doubt there is a spotlight him. speaking of spotlight, recently signed rookie goalkeeper for pohang steelers, kim roman gets a major media coverage, making the SBS evening news. http://m.sports.naver.com/kfootball/news/read.nhn?oid=055&aid=0000377145 we seen him often him and mentioned here quite a few times, but i believe this is the first time we hear him speak. as we all know, his father made the choice to leave russia for korea because he felt korea was better suited to develop his football skill than russia. that speaks a lot of the youth development infrastructure we have in homeland (i'm completely making assumption because i have never been back to korea for the past 23 yrs.) his ambition is to make the full national team. we're stacked in goalkeeper position. we have so many goalkeepers, we've imported a couple of our best goalkeepers to japan because they suck at producing goalkeepers. like all koreans, kim roman is due for military service. it's very unlikely we'll see him this season for first team pohang. but next yr might be it.

Hey they need every money they can get. In fact I would make every K-league shirts into a walking billboard.
imo, the acceptable number of sponsors on a kit should be 2. Otherwise, these kits will start looking like some generic South East Asian club kits.
Also, the club doesn't need to show all of their sponsors on their kits. But whatever floats your boat.
