A bit off topic but I don't think the transfer window probably isn't super important for PJH. I suspect PJH will negotiate a contract cancellation (get paid > 0 and < full season salary) and will be free agent.
That's an idea I havent thought of. Would be a decent solution. He can then go back to Switzerland where his wife is from, or to a 2.Bundesliga club. I doubt he'd come to Asia given his wife has born his second child recently.
According to this article. But that article also says there were offers from Yokohama, Dijon in Ligue 1, St. Truden in Belgium, Dinamo Zagreb, Borussia Dortmund, and friggin Manchester United. So.... maybe not entirely reliable. I legitimately think that the LA Galaxy rumor may have originated with mistranslations of Google results about a different Lee Seung Woo who is a tech analyst, talking about the Samsung Galaxy.
Verona van not quite shirt pic but... Lee Seung Woo arriva a Verona per le visite: https://t.co/4s0oZcyHlV tramite @YouTube— Hellas1903.it (@Hellas1903it) August 30, 2017
I am sure Park is welcome at Basel. He had some good times over there. Actually, he was so good in some CL games that I thought he was the next big thing.
Kinda surprised by a bit of stage fright for LSW lol. I don't think he anticipated so many cameras and at least two fan sites livestreaming.
First practice will be tomorrow. I wonder when announcement will be http://www.larena.it/home/sport/hellas/lee-seung-woo-debutta-domani-a-peschiera-1.5925882?refresh_ce
If LSW would have made it big at Barca he would have been such a great face of Korean football. No homo, but he's good looking and has the cutesy appeal that could have done wonders for the Korean brand worldwide. Kinda like how people think of Ronaldinho when they think of Brazilian football or the beautiful game(joga bonito). It would be a good thing if people thought of LSW with Korea, but alas.
In France, we called "footix" a person who worships a player, a team, without knowing anything about football overall, just because this team, this player are the trend, get media exposure. For instance, Neymar's case atm in PSG, thousands of sheeps are buying that PSG shirt at a prohibitive price. Yeah, indeed, LSW would have been that kind of idol, is that a bad thing he won't be part of that? not sure... but he still can get world and commercial recognition even after having left FCB.
Even without returning to FCB, he can become kind of "Korean neymar", that's what I said in my previous post. But basically, you're right to say "wait and see", that's the only thing to do. I hate speculating over the future.
Not knowing much about Italian football - do they have restrictions for non-EU players, like non-EU quotas or work permit requirements, etc? And will those pose a problem for LSW?
They do have a quota system that's more complex than others. Which is why most Koreans to Serie A rumors are make believe. But Hellas Verona are under the max I guess.
I don't think LSW will go straight into the 1st team..he hasn't even played a game at B level. I think it will be at least a couple months minimum before we actually see him PLAYING minutes for the first team in Serie A.
where does the most expensive signing of the summer w/ 1st team contract, who has debuted w/ Barca B... go instead?
Lol, I would add he will turn 20 next year, maybe it is time to get his first professional game, no? Are we going to wait for him to be 25 years old for that ? He has been considered as the next messi so what are we waiting for ? Players from his generation like Asensio, Mbappe are yet best european players despite their young ages. Beyond these guys, asian players with the same age have yet played and scored for their team (Lee Jin Hyun, Han Kwang Song). .
This depends on his talent and his determination rather than on his age (even if most of the time, coachs are cautious with young players and give them progressively playing time).
He'll have to face Verde who's 1 year older than him (they're even similar in height) unless the coach plans him as a CF instead of LA.
Interest in Bony seems to indicate that LSW as CF is unlikely. That said Cerci is hurt so maybe earlier debut than intended.
