[NOT HAPPENING] Cho Gue-sung

Seems to me that this signing would take considerable planning and resources. That’s why I can’t see it happening or at least won’t believe it until he is pictured in the shirt.

 

Where's ITK Ming when you need him?

 

Leventhal says we're in talks and personal terms won't be an issue. In the past he hasn't tended to leak until things are pretty close due to relationship with the club, albeit who knows these days.

 

I’ve never seen Chew Gue-Song play, and not heard of him. But he will definitely tear this league to pieces. Good news

 

How many cases have there been where he's announced a deal that's in the works and it hasn't happened? As you allude to, he's rarely the guy to break a story

 

Pretty sure once EVER which was Steven Bergwijn - although I believe that we were leaking all sorts that today to try scare the Sarr camp. If we get those two over the line then it finally seems the turning point we've been waiting for with recruitment.

 

Took a look back at his articles from last season. Reported on our interest in Archer, and how we were in talks for Jack Stephens, but as far as I can see they are the only players we didn't sign that he mentioned we were strongly interested in / in talks with.

Having said that, there are some funny headlines:

Ozan Tufan – ‘the Turkish Paul Pogba’ whose phenomenal footwork will bring something different to Watford’s midfield

Fletcher deal is a low-risk bid to freshen up Watford’s forward line

Will Hughes wants to stay at Watford: ‘There are no thoughts about moving elsewhere’ (then moves to Palace not long after)

 

Tbf to him Archer was apparently on route/at our training ground too. No idea what happened with Stephens.

 

Tall but not slow on FIFA. He also has a kind face.

I'm in.

 

If he works hard, he's already done more than 95% of last year's lot

 

What happened with Archer? Why didn't we sign him?

 

That's one way of putting it...

 

Think they were only going to loan him out with Sarr going the other way. Still wonder how our season would have gone with RE, Archer and Drahmeh which could easily have happened. But back on topic, this signing would be a huge way of fixing some of our mistakes.

 

Can you make this a thing? Can see if there's a correlation between your instant reaction to their faces and how good a signing they are at the end of the season.

 

Definitely raised bed

 

Is this not already Giaretta's scouting policy?

 

Michael Parkinson wrote that his wife Mary chose the horses to back by whether she liked the jockeys' eyes.

She was quite successful apparently!

 

Slim chance of that if he's coming to us!

 

That’s what she told him she liked.

 

I pictured a bowl with all the cream and sugar pissed away

 

Yes he's realised he's too good for us having seen that we are at "Tom Ince level of recruits" for 2023/4.

 

This translation from the full article has a different feel to it (Source)

About European move rumours

"I, of course, desperately want it. I think I have to talk with the club about those issues, and there are some issues that need to be resolved. If you go into details, there are issues such as transfer fees. Of course I want to go out. First of all, I think it's right to match those parts well and choose a team that can play in the game and prepare well."

 

That original translation was from Korean press who seem pretty against him joining a second division side. As pointed out, the real translation is far more positive and basically says he's waiting for a transfer fee to be agreed and wants to play somewhere where he will start. Hopefully speeds up now international duty is done.

 

We all have to stay patient eh. It’s only 20 June and it’s a very big move for him. He needs time to make sure we are the right club for him, and there’s nothing wrong with that. Fingers crossed we convince him!

 

If he does his homework, he won't touch us with a bargepole.

 

Him, Alsacer and Perrota will be a great trio

 

Show him the pond.
