Park Ju-Young @ R.C. Celta de Vigo 2012-2013 [R]

So apparently HMB weighed in on PCY earlier today:

Looks like HMB is essentially saying, "Get some playing time or I'm not gonna select you."

Apparently the Netherlands and Spain are still open until tomorrow morning. And I guess there's still the Championship.

Is PCY's contract really that huge that Arsenal can't just let him go and take the hit? They released a bunch of players this summer without regrets.

 

Spain and Dutch windows are closed. At this point, the best options for PCY would be release or championship loan.

For a cheap club like Arse who just spent a ton on Ozil, yes, 2 years of his contract would be fairly large. Which is why I imagine they will still try to work out a compromise.

 

^PCY's generally not a talker. And I suspect the club aren't talking because whatever's going on with PCY's contract probably makes them look bad.

I wouldn't be surprised if he wasn't speaking to anyone at Arsenal. I remember at the Olympics, PCY and Ramsey barely acknowledged each other when they shook hands. PCY and Aubemayang hugged it out.

 

Arsenal is pretty secretive too despite arsenal supporters trust. e.g. the mystery of the 6m "PCY" writedown last year

 

So what the fck happens now, Championship only option?. Not totally against it though.

 

I doubt it. Championship clubs can't pay his wage (except QPR)...
It's either mutual termination or stuck til Jan. & collecting his paycheck like Arshavin did before him...

 

Did you guys think that the PCY could get more depressing than lets say a year ago?

 

beyond caring at this point.

 

Is there a "Mexicans in the park" option in London? I bet he would totally dominate.
So, if I'm not mistaken, PCY has no responsibilities whatsoever as far as showing up for work, and collects a very nice paycheck?

 

From what I know, there just wasn't a club that was willing to offer the kind of wage he's getting at Arsenal, and Park Ju-young wasn't willing to take a significant pay cut. He's taking a huge gamble here by dragging this out. Hong Myung-bo needs to prepare for the worst and start considering other options at the CF position. Last thing I'd like to see is Ji Dong-won starting as our solitary striker after riding the bench at Sunderland, but we might not have an alternative.

 

I'm just going to start preparing for the worst at this point.

 

He's got international break to sort it out. Lets hope they find middle ground soon

 

So assuming PCY is stuck at the shit hole of a club forever, I'm guessing we won't be seeing him in the NT any time soon?

 

if this article is true, can probably cross out Lorient even if PCY gains FA status by miracle.....

I don't think thats the proper takeaway as much as the deal wasn't done and gourcuff could leave (vs gourcuff wanting/not wanting PCY). Anyway at this point, its just a waiting game and too much conjecture on a situation thats insane+complex would be hasty

 

If money is the issue...Bite the bullet .... Collect fat checks in the desert three years later....take a pay cut and make yourself available for what could be the most talented group of Corean players ever at the WC

 

Given his low popularity in Korean media, these could be among the final dollars he ever earns.

Though I think the fact that he is still there basically refutes the fact that he specifically was responsible for the total writeoff vs just being a portion.

 

ARSE should at least put him in the reserve team and let him play with the hopes of him shining there so that they will have some likely suitors come Jan.

 

I don't think the teams that are interested / can afford him would be watching Arse reserves.

 

lol. Bendtner but no PCY

wow, this could be worse compared to Arshavin situation. let see if PCY at least make the final 25 roster for EPL so he can at least train "properly" somewhat til Jan. otherwise, this is one ugly & chaotic contract dispute...
