Does he do those wacky handshakes that Heung Min-Son does with his teammates at the end of games? Because if he does, I don’t want him here.
The good thing about signing him from Hyundai is that he should have the balance of warranty left, at least if he gets injured we can get him fixed for free at the dealer rather than relying on our own medical team.
Quite. But not buying a player from BMW tells it’s own story. We’re tinpot and Gino clearly wants out.
There’s something quite child like about Son that makes him come across as just a genuinely nice lad who just loves playing football. I’m in
A Korean reporter is reporting that Min-Jae is worried about a possible work permit issue and does not want to possibly miss out on a large wage from the Chinese Team if a work permit is not granted.
Well it's not as though we've ever signed anyone else and then failed to get them a work permit for three years... Don't know what he's worried about!
Let's just admit what we already know: Gino is just a puppet acting on behalf of Bassini. Bassini is the real brains behind this operation.
With him tied up with his country at the moment this surely looks more likely to be a deal done with the player then joining up with the squad for pre-season. Though even then he's surely not going to leave it to agents to decide on a move halfway around the world? He's exempt like Son because he won the Asian Games last year.
I really want this signing to happen. We need a guy who will run through brick walls to stop us conceding rather than Kabasele who has a habit of giving away freebies. Could be our new Jay DeMerit.
I'm trying to envision the circumstances where this "monster" running through a brick wall is the required action to prevent the concession of a goal.
Considering it was translated from a Korean news outlet I would say yes. Put some effort in if sarcasm is your game.
Nope, we should be hoping Korea go on to win the whole tournament, thus increasing the likelihood of them rising a few spots in the FIFA rankings from their current 53rd position to somewhere in the top 50 - thus making the process of getting him a work permit more of a formality. Though I also wouldn't be surprised if the deal is done one way or another, but it just won't be officially announced until Korea go out. This quote from the latest article gives me hope that he's decided on us: "I thought that he was going to China but then I heard good news and I hope he can make the better choice," said Kwon."
...but it also means that he wouldn't turn his nose up at Burnley, Huddersfield or any other god-forsaken place in the north.
Not looking likely at the moment. Although it's still 0-0, Qatar are looking the more likely. South Korea have 4 Kims in their defence - one has been booked but I'm not sure if it's the one we're interested in.
