    Well, there goes another military exempted player.

    Kim Bo-kyung, please fire your dumbass agent.

    - Went around England for 2 months and begged Championship clubs for a contract.
    - While knowing the work permit issue.
    - Try to use Cyprus as his last resort.
    - Now this. They're not even a decent J1 side. Should have joined Suwon back in June when he was training with them. Back to step 1.

    His agent is Lee Yeung-joong (Ivan Sports Corp.)

    I seriously have no idea why Kim Bo-Kyung is even continuing to stick with this numbnut failure of an agent. If it wasn't enough that he ended up signing with Cardiff just weeks ahead of the London Olympics instead of waiting till it was over, he ends up in yet another stupid move in which I can only suspect and blame his agent Lee Young-Joong.

    Here's woorijim's post on Lee Young-Joong: http://forums.bigsoccer.com/threads/kim-bokyoung-transfer-news.1946608/page-6#post-26023286

    The only appeal to Japan is possible easier route to BL. Problem with championship is lack of worldwide respect and visibility.

    Not sure I can blame agent in this situation (given unfogivable earlier mistakes) and enough ambiguity about rules given that other clubs also went through exception process for him.

    I blame KBK for his 미련 to stay in England at all cost. He should have spent the summer going on trials at German clubs after his value and reputation fell so much from his time in England and Wales.

    He placed himself in such a bad position so late in the transfer window that he couldn't even garner interest from the desert or from the CSL.

    This probably was the only move his terrible agent could muster up with a decent salary where KBK still has some reputation leftover from his Cerezo days.

    He had Championship sides fighting for him despite them knowing FA rules too so I can see why he was deluded into thinking it was possible.

    Going to Japan is about reviving his career rather than the money because I'm sure he coulda gotten a desert job.

    Sorry for the stupid question, is the K-League market not open now ? I don't understand why he would go to a small JLeague club otherwise...
