PJH for 1 million or less... he can't be any worse compared to Aogo in LB.. http://www.boerse-express.com/pages/1358524/newsflow http://www.spox.com/de/sport/fussba...agovic-oesterreichischer-nationalspieler.html "While Dragovic to strengthen the central defense, would be an alternative for the Park left-back position in the red shorts. The market value of the South Korean is just under one million euros, which could mean for the financially bedded on roses Hamburg a great investment."
HSV needs Dragovic. Don't know about PJH though and TBH, I rather see him stay at FC Basel. He gets consistent playing time and gets to play in European competitions (whether it's the CL or the EL). Also like jsk14 said his contract runs till 2015 until his mandatory service. I don't want to see PJH ride the bench and not get to play in Europe until his mandatory service. If HSV needs a LB then get YSY.
It's not about getting a Korean footballer. It's about fink getting one of his presumably trusted players back
who would you rather sign if you aren't a Korean with very minimal knowledge of Korean players? player you know with CL & Europa league experience? or guy playing reserve games for QPR (how many reserve games did YSY even play?)?
Seems like HSV/Fink's interest in PJH is legit. http://www.abendblatt.de/sport/fuss...mit-Santa-Cruz-Interesse-an-drei-Baslern.html "Also looking for defensive players have found it at FC Basel cruisers and Fink. Especially the Austrian national team Dragovic has done it to the duo, with the rumored release requirement of around five million euros is still too high. In addition to the 22-year-old central defender are also at Lazio on the shopping list. Would be much cheaper there already Dragovics South Korean teammate Park to have. The full-back would, however, initially planned only as a substitute, which is the permanent employees make a little pressure." "When transferring summit on Saturday to be agreed Arnesen's successor cruisers and Finch that Mancienne and Rajkovic also be on sale for Bruma whose loan contract was not renewed. Unlike Robert Tesche, Gojko Kacar and Marcus Berg, who is no longer allowed to participate in team training for an agreed decision cruiser and Fink, threatens Rajkovic, Mancienne and also the returning Paul Scharner from Wigan but no similar fate."
The fact that they're going to Swiss leagues to bolster tha horrible defense seems to validate SHMs decision to leave. As I stated, if PJH were not korean, I would put this deal at the same probability of succeeding due to finks familiarity so I doubt its related to sponsors. Not like PJH would bring any anyways.
So has PJH reached his limit? Is FC Basel his last destination? The last games I've watched didn't show a stable PJH. He played every second game..
I think both clubs have denied a PJH deal. Pardon goog translate http://hsv-blog.abendblatt.de/2013/06/18/zoua-hat-die-bundesligatauglichkeit-absolut/
It seems like FC Basel will be buying Behrang Safari again (he played for Basel a few years ago). Rumor has it, that JHP will be sitting on the bench until Basel can sell him or perhaps they'll lend him to a club.
