I've come to the point where I've forgotten what Korean letters are even used in his name.

Federico Fernandez has been left out of Napoli's Champions League squad which was confirmed through their official facebook page. Looks certain to join for a reported £7-8 million.

I think a bit more on team site

"Yes, I think so," he said. "It feels like a new start for myself and everything has gone well so far.
"It was tough at Sunderland at first because we had a new manager and the team wasn't right. But as time went by we developed and we survived.
"I have grown up a lot and I have a lot more confidence and experience.
"This is my third season in the Premier League and I want to grow as a player and improve to hep the team."
The Swans kick-off their fourth season in the top flight on Saturday when they face Manchester United at Old Trafford.
Garry Monk's side will be looking to build on last season's 12th-place finish in the Premier League, in a season that saw a vast number of games with the added pressure of the Europa League.
But Ki believes that the squad is more than capable of aiming for a top-half finish.
"It is a tough league, and every game is difficult," he said. "But our squad is very strong and every player has quality, especially the new signings.
"We want to be better than last season and finish in the top half."

Only because it's a slow news day . . . KSY named as one to watch (out of a few dozen) in the EPL.

I'd like to punch the person who wrote down ki's name in English for the first time.

Often time us Koreans are in situation we have to simplify our name when we have to spell it out in English. There reason why Kim yeon-ah is yuna Kim outside of korea. Can you imagine Americans trying to pronounce our queen. It will be like 이이요우운나.

Only for Ki, he's got it backward. Yong is perfect way to spell it. Now yeung or yueng.

Edit: btw, go and kick ass ki. Our favorite 기식빵.

Why not ********ing David Ki or something.

KPA's should start to use english names so that name spelling errors won't occur.

It's also my pet peeve to hear casters say "KEE SUNG YUUUUU-ENG"

announcers go out of their way to try to get complex other foreign names right, why should koreans bend over backwards for them?

toohyper · Aug 13, 2014

If David Ki wants to be called David Ki, I have no problem with that.

But shouldn't force that on other players. Their names are their heritage. Shouldn't conform to ridiculous Western standards.
