Suk Hyun-Jun @ Ajax 2009-2010 Thread

How tall? Tall by Dutch standards or Korean standards? lol

And I guess he is a striker? Doesn't mention his position anywhere in the article but I guess that bad pun is a giveaway...

 

KFA lists him at 189 cm/81 kg. And I think I read somewhere that he was originally more of a wing-forward but Ajax were trying to use him in a more lone-striker role.

 

Is Suk with the first team, reserves, or youth club? Can't tell from the article.
Full credit to him for his unorthodox method of getting a trial. It worked!

 

Dokebi do you know if the guys in those pictures next to him are youth, reserves or first-team players?

 

Keewl, but i still prefer PSV.

 

My gut feeling is that he went to the youth squad. He's still 18. Will turn 19 this year.

 

He was training with the reserves, not the youth as mentioned here. Jol is excited and is pleasantly surprised to find a Korean player this physical.

 

Then that's a wow for me. Last time I read an article about him(couple months ago), he seemed like he was bound to the youth squad.

I guess Martin Jol saw a bit more potential in this kid.

Looking forward for this guy.

 

I know I shouldn't get my hopes up this early, but damn my hopes are up. Nevermind.

I hope he can continue the strong legacy of Korean players in Eredivisie.

BTW I just checked their league table and Ajax is #3 behind Twente and PSV, which makes the news all the more sweeter.

 

Noh Byung-joon, Song Jong-guk, Kim Nam-il and Lee Chun-soo?

 

Let's look on the bright side. Probably means PJS & LYP.

 

Was Noh Byung-Joon ever in Erevidisie? I thought he was with Grazer AK in Austria?

 

I thought Huh Jung Moo did well in his time in Eredivisie also?

No need to be snide news.

 

I don't know his playing history but he was in the Austrian Bundesliga on Fifa 06

 

I meant Noh Jung-yoon. I don't know why I wrote Noh Byung-joon.
Sorry for the confusion.

 

No problem! I thought that was what you meant. He was not great for Breda but has the distinction of being the first Korean player in the J-League. I remember seeing him play in Jeollado when he was with Ulsan a few years ago and he was significantly slower.

 

First footballer I ever liked as a kid was Noh Jung-Yoon. He'll always be a legend in my little world.

 

OT but wonder why Noh Byung Joon didn't make it at Grazer? His goal to appearance ratio is good. 8 appearances~3 goals. Wonder if it's because the team went into administration but no one in Austria picked him up?

 

Pretty crazy this guy huh?

Goes knocking on doors, got in the good graces of Jol and is now getting ready to play for Ajax. Its hard to believe almost.

Anyone here know him or have an opinion on his game? Could huh pick him up sometime between now and summer?

 

someone might want to change his name on this thread to hyun jun-suk,

I think junsuk is his name, no?

 

No, the title is correct. It's Seok Hyeon-jun.

 

Wait we are sure it is not Jun Hyeonseok?
