Son Heung-Min @ Hamburger SV 2012-2013 [R]

skimmilk · Jun 10, 2013

Apparently Express thinks that Schurrle is still a done deal and the "dead" part was just the linking to De Bruyne which is still an open option but after summer friendlies and training.

Similarly, deal agreed with SHM but still some argument over final transfer fee with HSV.

Not sure who this contact on HSV's board who's leaking stuff to Wolfsburg paper but whatever....

"VfL Wolfsburg is probably out of the race," a member of the Supervisory Board HSV says on demand from our newspaper. "Son has made it clear that he moved to Leverkusen."

And it looks like the breaks are being put on Schurrle deal. Must be so awkward as I think his dad + agent have both said that it was a done deal.

Probably the fact that SHM is still going is a good thing as they don't need to be 1:1 replacements.

I have asked for cruisers Son, especially, how many offers are there? Kreuzer: "there was still some weeks ago, now that is greatly reduced." How much? Thus, the sporting director did not want to budge.

I know nothing about him but kicker had him as right wing. I suspect based on Bayer forums that he's being bought for depth as he can play multiple spots.

if we go by Bleacher Report... Robbie Kruse is the Schurrle replacement.
But yea, def. depth... strictly based on statistics.. he had a decent yr with Dusseldorf this season. 4 goals & 7 assist with crappy Dusseldorf team...

Hanjin · Jun 11, 2013

Robbie Kruse used to play for my team Brisbane Roar as a youth player he came up through the AIS which is Australia's youth development program.

His pretty quick on the ball and likes to dribble past players

The move is likely to pave the way for Andre Schurrle to finally join Chelsea. Leverkusen had apparently told the west London club that he would be going nowhere until a suitable replacement had been found.

Schurrle's agent denies that Chelsea is no longer interested.

And team says deal is still pending. And as for this deal funding SHM, it appears that Mainz will take a large share of that 20m fee so looks somewhat independent.

Bayer Schurrle deal burst? "We do not respond to anything. We continue to transfer. The last signatures are still missing, "was the sports director Rudi Voeller EXPRESS align.

World Cup 2014: Ten potential breakout stars
...Let's, then, take a look at 10 young talents who could be ready to make a substantial impression on next summer's World Cup.

Son Heung-Min (South Korea)
It is already three years since 20-year-old Son Heung-Min made his senior international debut, and much has changed in his career since then. Son's breakthrough came in the 2010-11 season, when he began to make an indent on the Hamburg first team. His impact would continue to grow the following year, but it has been this past 2012-13 season in which he has begun to play a starring role for the side. A pacey, two-footed forward, Son can play a number of attacking positions, and has consistently shown that he is a lethal finisher in front of goal. Assuming South Korea qualifies as expected, he will undoubtedly be one to watch.

Who is this guy

skimmilk · Jun 12, 2013

Heung Min Son

scored twelve goals to visually made a big leap forward. The South Korean has in the past ten months, really, really well developed. As good as I do not, I freely admit that had expected. For me, Son has long been a somewhat overrated player. But he is not, I take that back in full. "Sonny" has super developed physically has risen, he has become more confident, courageous and harder.However, the latter is still capable of improvement. And also in terms of consistency, he must grow significantly, yet it is subject to very large fluctuations in its performance. However, I think that Sun will go his way - he now strikes the right coach. And if not, then it is probably - as always - his father, who is always everywhere with it, already sure. Heung Min Son is also indeed an enormously hard-working player who always has, almost daily, then worked as the HSV had given his boys free. This is exemplary. And it should be every young man who believes that less is more, to think about. Nothing comes from nothing, Son And knows that his father even more. Note two.
