Her Minyoung and Lee Min Kyu in Dinamo Moscow. TWO KOREAN PLAYERS WILL JOIN DYNAMO U-21 TEAM FC Dynamo-Moscow has signed 3-year contracts with two 1992.y.o.b. Korean players, Her Minyoung and Lee Min Kyu. Both players are considered among most perspective in their age-groop in Korea. Her Minyoung is a wing-defender who can play on both wings. Following Russian law, since Minyoung will be off-age only on 15 September, his contract takes effect on 16 September when he can play for Dynamo. Lee Min Kyu is a forward and he's off-age. He'll be put into entry list according to the usual parctice. http://www.fcdynamo.ru/material.php?id=5198
Thanks for the info Rusich! I couldn't find anything immediately on either player although admittedly I haven't really spent any time looking. I have a feeling 'Her' Minyoung is actually "Huh Min-Young" -- sometimes you see "Huh" romanized as "Her" or "Hur"...but good for them. I wonder how they scouted them.
K. Sarsania (Dynamo manager) said he watched them in person in Korea. K. Sarsania is a former Zenit manager and former agent with a lot of connections all over the world. Sarsania probably is behind good 1/3 of all foreign player signings in Russia league in the last 10 years.He brought all korean players in Zenit. There also a quite beliveble rumor that Kim-Don-Jin will sign with FC Dynamo soon.
Oh wow, interesting stuff. So he was behind Advocaat's move of Lee Ho and Kim Dong-Jin to Zenit St. Petersburg?
Hard to tell. Advocaat's also wonted "his" players when he came to Zenit. But there was one korean player in Zenit even before Advocaat. Totally forgot his name, he was NT player. There is little information about agent things in Russia but Sarsania can be possibly behind all koreans in RPL.
His name is hyun young min, was in 2002 korean squad and favorite with boner do you have any links that dynamo want kim dong jin?

Kim Young-gwon scored a nice, but lucky, FK against Kyoto in Nabisco Cup : [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UvNidGCLmF8&feature=channel"]YouTube- 2010.06.06-???????6?- FC?? - ?????????Part-3[/ame]
Naver also reported Palermo in addition to Fulham (go figure) and Newcastle United. I'm beginning to think it isn't a proper transfer rumor unless Fulham are mentioned
Not to be picky, but next time could you post the time so that we dont have to look through a 9 minute video? Sorry, it's just I don't have a lot of interest for the J-League... or even the K-league for that matter.
KNT defenders (the weakest part of the team) in the premier league? They'd get eaten alive .. not a good move if he chooses to go there.
lol Newcastle... well they've had CBs like Boumsong and Babayaro before, so why not Cho Yong-hyung? But I don't think it'll happen, besides he also has military duty to serve.
Nabisco cup today. Wonder who came back on the scoring track ? Lee Kun-ho ! Lee Gang-jin also scored as Jubilo Iwata beat Montedio Yamagata 5-0. Vegalta Sendai won 0-4 against Omiya at Saitama and the defender Park Joo-sung had one goal.

I don't know why Ayumi got plastic surgery. She was much cuter without it. Now she looks like those Japanese porn stars. but.. she's still cute. She's really cute in the "Cutie Honey" music video.
http://kr.news.yahoo.com/sports/soccer/view?aid=20100630084659128c4 As most of you have agreed for a long time, this proves our point that players need to enter the world stage. Don't get me wrong. I watch the K-League. But I think our players will learn more from playing with the world top players and learning from the top teams in Europe or South America. I know a couple of BS members have disagreed with me on this, but the fact is, our football isn't enthusiastic and intense as other countries like Argentina, Brazil, and Spain are. Baseball is more popular in Korea. I have never seen a full K-League stadium in a long time. Korean adults work long hours and are too tired to attend a stadium. Some games are depressing. I watched an FC Seoul game once during my college days. We got a good seat after buying the tickets about 5 minutes after the game started. I often worry that the K-League and the companies that support them might be losing a lot of money. There really isn't a lot of youngsters playing football compared to the entire population and compared to other football power countries, although I heard from a teacher that the schools have started to put more effort into gym classes recently. Most kids are too busy studying at hagwons and koshiwons. The schools that specialize in football are very few when compared to football strong countries like the Netherlands. And not long ago in Korea, there have been a severe lack of facilities for non-athletes to play this game. Most of the non-professional players are in their 30s or 40s. One BS member have said that to prepare for the WC, we just need to concentrate on the K-League. But the thing is, we meet teams like Argentina in the World Cup. To be able to compete well with a team like that, our football environment needs to be at least equal or better than Argentina is. Unfortunately, I realized that our K-League isn't adequate enough to create good players when I watched Park JY play his first international match. He was a star in the K-League. But the Saudi defenders stopped all of his attacks in an Asian qualifier for the 2006 WC. Saudi Arabia won that game. In the qualifiers for 2010, our team would've lost against Iran twice if our team didn't have Park JS. It's true that our K-League teams performed well against other Asian pro-football teams. But I doubt our K-League teams would've performed that well if we didn't have our foreign strikers. Our national team needs to practice with more effort in the Asian Cup and other tournaments to improve teamwork.
look the K league is and will ALWAYS be the key to our success. do you think brazilians just appear on those euro teams? do you think those argentinians just appear on those euro teams? no they dont they play in their domestic league first THEN they make the jump to europe. its rare that you get a player to go to a foreign league straight away. sure we can talk about how we dont have world class.....yet. its only a matter of time. yes baseball is most popular and what not but even so what do people get more excited about? baseball or the world cup? our league is relatively new and our population is small of course attendance in certain areas is going to be small. the key to our future success is going to be the K league and getting players to increase the level of play. and thats just naive if you compare us to brazil, netherlands, and spain when it comes to football infrastructure. we have just arrived. and now that we were successful this past world cup even more kids will want to play.
K-Leaguers were the gaping holes in our WC lineup: Yeom, Kim Jungwoo. They worked hard and had their moments but errant passing, bad turnovers all throughout the WC made them stick out in the crowd. Having great youth programs and well organized domestic league is great and all but to compete in the WC Korea needs to be sending talent to Europe as young as possible.
that is true they were our underperformers. that being said as a whole that does not define our league though. yes it would be great if we could get 20-30 kids overseas but look at these world class players: Rooney- domestic local team everton Samuel Eto- didnt go to europe until 16 trained in cameroon Kaka- joined local youth team then local team Sao Paolo europe at 21 Ibrahimovic- played in sweden until 21 then joined Ajax Ribery- played on the local small french team until he joined Marseilles at 22 You could go down a whole list and really its rare for one of these "world class players" to have started at some academy in europe so we cant expect our players to do that also. its only the rare prodigys that do that e.g. messi ideally to create these top players the formula appears to be develop the players in your own or local leagues then at around 21-24 they make their europe move.
