New Signing - Park Chu Young - Out For 2 Years

[Letters]

And in the limited few appearances he has played, he has looked quite useful.

It's the Szczesny (and now Oxlade (...and the list will continue growing)) situation all over again. We know how rubbish the current alternatives (Theo, Gerv, Arshavin, Chamakh) are. So there is little to lose by trying out an unknown quantity. Nobody expects him to be brilliant. Park could turn out to be useless or he could turn out to be decent. Sunderland away, stick him on the right wing instead of Theo and see how he does. WUMger.

Something stinks about this signing.

Whether he was bought for marketing purposes, or whether wenger wasn't altogther complicit in his signing, I dunno. Just seems mighty weird.

[Cripps_orig]

Redknappesque bonuses being handed over?

The fact he was shit at Monaco and we still got him suggests something fishy. Or that Wengers an idiot

Could be both

Racist.

Think it was Arseblog who speculated whether this was not actually Wenger's signing and he was therefore refusing to pick him in protest.

It sounds unlikely to me, but even if it were true it's too much like cutting off your nose to spite your face. How bad must he be that you refuse to use him? His scoring rate is still better than Chamakh's this season.

And he was also practically kidnapped from Lille which didn't sit well with them. In theory, if risking annoyance to a potential future supplier for talent (Hazard*) you'd expect the effort to be worthwhile. But so far, nothing - hardly even given a chance.


* this assumes we actually intend to pay £20m+ for player which is probably a pipe dream.

[Marc Overmars]

Oh yeah I forget he was on the verge of signing for Lille, until WUMger did his thing to them as well.

A Wenger signing all the way, the clueless idiot has done this before with Bischoff for example, what a total waste of money signing a player and then not playing him at all.

The board would never go above Wenger's head with signings, after all they had to shell out for him.

You mean like Oxlade-Chamberlain?

[Aida]

Waste of money and Wenger lied, He said that he was going to play him when the African cup of nations start. Then he goes and loans Henry instead, I actually feel sorry for park his been here for half year. I have no idea how he plays i can see him doing an Lassana Diarra
