@younggungblog Chu-Young is South Korea's captain. Can play on either flank or up front. Offers reliable back up at a good price. Win:Win.
Fee confirmed, medical completed, sorting out player terms. Fastest bit of business we've done in years.

He also adds to our collection of national team captains.
I know theres fews days left but Wenger is driving me crazy, cba with last day drama...
No football score spoilers on here please. If you want to post something about it, give a vague description of what it is about and then put the spoiler in spoiler tags. Thanks.

From the little i've seen of him he's looked fairly good, mobile, technically very good, not bad in the air either.
Hopefully the CB & CM signings we all crave are Cahill and M'Vila.
Bit of a stereotype there I think. Koreans are hard workers whereas there's no point giving a Costa Rican a work permit. Very racist of you really. Unpleasant. I'm offended.Quote:

All because of Wenger's penny-pinching.
Wenger: what a WUM :bow:.
Can you fill us in if some shit goes down, JSAO?
in the same breath as begging Real to do the same thing i seem to remember...........but we shouldnt sign him cos we might get accused of limiting ourselves to French league teams......maybe Wenger is on a mission to help the French economy (sorry that's the best I could come up with.....I will leave it up to the pros on GW to come up with some more believable conspiracy theories!)Quote:

After Osim's heart attack or stroke, Okada took over......quite conservative in nature, but made people sit up when he said Japan would make the last 4........took a massive risk at the WC when he changed the formation upside down and came back a hero.
Japan now has an Italian at the helm and things are really ticking along......new regime.....maturing players/players holding their own and making a name for themselves overseas......Japan is in a purple patch and I hope Miyaachi is part of that.
The Japan/Korea games are always passionate games.......not always classics but entertaining, Korea always seem to be more fiery and it does take Japan time to get going, taking the lead always helps because watching Japan I always worry when they go behind, but they showed fight in the AC and now Japan I feel are leagues ahead of Korea now and we would not be foolish to consider Honda and Kagawa as players that can really contribute.
Going to see what this Park is like on FIFA and FM, then predict big things or write him off based on that.
a couple of their fans are saying this Young blokes supposed to be decent. 2 footed, versatile and hard working. Exactly what we need. Hopefully it means Chamakh pisses off.
If the price tag had been £15m I'm sure everyone would have a different view- give the lad a chance.
We now have quite a bit of competition for the striker role, with campbell fighting for a spot too.
It's only competition if these kids will actually have a chance of being regulars in the first-team. They won't. As soon as Van Persie gets injured (and he's on borrowed time), Chamakh will come in.Quote:

Does it do Asian shirt sales on FIFA now?Quote:

id usually agree but seeing chamakh warm the bench so far this season, it seems wengers lost total faith in him. bringing on bendtner against liverpool instead of chamakh when bendtner clearly wants to leave us :lol: oh dear time for the moroccan twat to piss off.Quote:

Chamakh is shit though.Quote:

in order to see what the reaction is.........
TBH there will be very little reaction here to us signing a Korean in the papers.......but remember UTD's Park was playing in Kyoto before moving to Holland and he was very well liked
The Koreans made the jump in mass first to Europe.......and I think Japan was happy to see an Asian do well first and moreover as he played for a Japanese team.......that sentiment died once Nakata made the leap and any Koreans playing in Europe were ignored
Ryo to take out Park in the first training session then?
yeah heard he is doing well for Monterrey RattlesnakesQuote:

How can they be baffled, how would he be able to have a medical, with out them accpeting an offer, just like City not been able to get Nasri with out us accpeting the offer.Quote:

Yeh, I reckon this seudox or whatever the fuck his name is, the Lille president, is annoyed becuase we're gonna buy Hazard off them and they cant convince him to stay there. So in turn he's acting like a cunt.Quote:
