K-league Transfers & Rumors Thread

If Estiven is anything like he was when he was at Ulsan then this could be one of the best buys in this transfer window.

Also Joco playing as striker? I don't know about that, but from what the Bosnians told me. Joco is not a striker (he can't play striker) and he can maybe play as a attacking mid.

You guys can sell YBGR to Gyeongnam for an affordable price and try to get Kim Dong-Sub. (There were rumours saying that he wants to leave.)

 

Bae Ki Jong? But if Joco can't play striker than bringing in another striker would be wise.

 

Bae Ki-Jong's a winger.

 

Oh. i remember him being played as striker when he came back.

 

Yeah looks like it's a done deal.

These two went to Kunjang College. They were recommended by their youth coach, Kim Shin-Hwan.

The KFA has written an article about them:

Let me tell you guys a little background story about them. These two guys starred in their very own movie which was based a true story. The movie was called "A Barefoot Dream" (맨반의 꿈). This movie was about a former professional Korean player named, Kim Shin-Hwan, who originally moved to East Timor to start a coffee business. When he went there he saw that there were many kids playing football. Since there were not many sport equipment stores there, he thought of a quick rich scheme by making a sport equipment store. The store failed since no one could afford shoes. Instead, he offered to teach these kids how to play football. They were still shoeless, but went on to win the Rivelino Cup in 2004 at Japan. He went on to be known as the "East Timor's Guus Hiddink".

awesome movie.. I hope they do well at Jeonju FC. I've always believed that Korean clubs should tap into that ASEAN market. Particularly Indonesian and Malaysian players. having their marquee players in KLegue Classic or Challenge will attract big attention from that region.

 

​

Suwon FC have signed Cho Jin-Soo (Ratchaburi), Lee Sang-Ki (Suwon) and Kim Jung-Bin (Pohang).

Ivo is back. Stefan Nikolić signing is confirmed as well.

 

​

Gwangju's Kim Eun-Sun set to join Suwon.

nooooo stop taking our players. how the hell are we gonna get promoted.

 

Good riddance to Ahn Jong-Hoon, he f*cked up so many plays for Jeju last season. He was the Tim Tebow of the league. Maybe he can revitalize his career at Gwangju.

 

good too hear. iam still waiting for the day gwangju atleast makes it to the ACL and go far. but for now is it really too much to be promoted to the k league classic

 

Finally hearing some news about Molina. Now we need to hear some news about Adi.

Mauricio Molina (@Maomolina11) is reportedly on his way out of FC Seoul and #CSL bound. One to watch.

This was confirmed and officially announced by Jeju United's homepage two days ago, but I will post anyways:

Welcome back, Estiven!

 

Kim eun sun is an underrated player and good leader. Big loss for us.

 

​

Regarding any rumours of Kim Young-Kwang moving out.

"He will be of help to the team." - Cho Min-Guk.

That probably means that he won't be moving any time soon.
