BackOfTheNet Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 20 minutes ago, DC_92 said: Hmm. Your posts don't really reflect that he couldn't get near a game latterly in Belgium and he got a combined 30 minutes when he was on loan in Portugal. He's done well in the K League but I'm not sure how the standard compares. There's got to be a question mark over whether he's suited to Europe either way given that he's been frozen out and released by every club he's played for here. Not commenting on whether he'd be a good signing or not, or whether we should be more or less excited about him than about Davenport. Just adding some balance. Well, I have my reasons. For me, the 11 caps for South Korea are enough to be honest. They’re a quality side. Add onto that he’s playing well for his current club, in a league that I personally can’t compare as I haven’t watched it, but I know it has many exports to big clubs across Europe, far more than our league does. I also said there’s things to be cautious about, and it wasn’t a slight on Davenport to say that Seung-woo is a more exciting prospect, it’s just there’s more information about him than Davenport. As you’ve shown by the information you just garnered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamboinglasgow Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 (edited) Reading the article post earlier in Korean (using google Translate) its quite confusing what the situation is. The talk of offering him a 3 year contract suggests he is free to leave the club, but the article talks about the club will be reluctant to release him mid-season. So I wont take this as a foregone conclusion (I am wary after Ogashiwa in January.) Also is surreal to just see an account on twitter I follow who is specialises in the academy of Barcelona, quote tweet Barry Anderson talking about this (and being pleased to see him back in Europe.)

BackOfTheNet Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 21 minutes ago, jamboinglasgow said: Interesting one, he was one of the reasons that Barca got a transfer ban for breaking signing players from other countries under the age of 18. The fact its talking about us offering him a 3 year contract sounds like we are not required to pay a fee. Also saw someone who reports on the Korean league reply to HMFC France that he would be a bit stupid to move as he has only just got a great run of form after 3 months. He also was part of the Asian Games team that won in 2018 which got them exemption from national service. Maybe had a release clause for clubs in European competition or something? That would mean we can express intent to pay to discuss terms. But that goal?!? Something to get excited about right there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosanostra Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Got to imagine one of GMS or Gino might be moving on if LSW signs. Looks an interesting one. I'm still hoping for Conor Ronan although that seems to have gone quiet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you’ve shown by the information you just garnered. Oh, an exotically named attacker with international caps and Serie A on his CV is always going to be more exciting than some jobber defensive midfielder from the Championship. Reasonable to ask whether it comes from a rational place, though. He looks shit hot from the clips on YouTube and Twitter, but less so digging into his transfermarkt page. I'll 100% buy into the excitement if we sign him but he's got slight "Korean Donis Avdijaj" vibes for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhoenixHearts Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 9 hours ago, DC_92 said: Pre-split starts in the league: Baningime - 23 Devlin - 22 Haring - 15 Devlin and Baningime were the first picks when fit. There were probably only a couple of games where neither started prior to wrapping up 3rd. Those two made the key difference to our midfield last season in my opinion. As I said, I like Haring and he offers something different, but there's a reason he's third choice and that's because Neilson prefers having the energy of Devlin and Baningime. If you do play Haring, you need someone with legs alongside him. Haring played in far more than 15 games though. Starts don't show the full picture, as you're missing games where he had a key impact like Celtic on the opening day and Livingston away when he replaced Woodburn in the first half. You also can't discount cup games as they were a major part of our seasons success, and Haring was influential down that stretch. My point is that besides that period in the first half of the season, how many times did Beni and Devlin actually play together? Their injuries suspensions ended up overlapping a lot as the season went on and Haring was the constant factor pairing with either Devlin when Beni was injured or playing alongside Beni when Devlin was suspended. Yes he needs legs beside him but he's more than just a squad filler. Was a top top player for us last season and his consistency was up there with Gordon, Kingsley and Halkett.

Midfield of Smith and Haring jeez it wasn't Stoke Res this week, thats bad state of affairs plus to many mixed messages between him and Bob. Joe we are looking to bring in an attacking midfielder centre back and pacy striker I want to challenge for league, Bob we are looking at another holding player and (centre back better than wright) then not bothered about centre back and attacking player we will rotate and hope to get top 4 again. Be nice to get midfielder with drive from midfield or with energy who then has a dig when we bring in someone who we are told are supposed to do this such as lee and mceneff 🤣🤣🤣 and various others we move them wide or play them too deep. We don't score enough goals from midfield and we need a physical striker in this league most teams have one in their team preferably with a bit pace too. I think fact Bob is here for next 3 years there is no way Budge or board will sack oor Bob even if we were struggling, Joe will end up back with Alex Neil at some stage unless he gets sacked at Mackems before then. As he states I recommend players its then up to Robert and board next. Utd looked decent today and Ross has brought in some good signings levitt is a steal, Sheep brag they are now worldbeaters and we have deluded bunch saying they ll be 3rd we defo need more bodies in asap or Joe oot 😂😂🙈🍻. 50 years of following famous same story when have decent season we lose players promise world and quality upgrades and have mediocre follow up due to europe as squads too small but we dont push on it never happens often other teams get wise we won't push boat out they splash dosh and we end up mid table below the rival teams. How many seasons is it now we seem to need new strikers every year and im sure if we had got Simms with Shankland, Boyce would have been punted no smoke without fire. Has anyone saw this invisible striker Bob mentioned other day Henderson recently or headless chicken Gino. Anyway FTH we won but need to improve asap. The prob Bob has is that unless he starts to win at Easter Road which he hasn't done yet or win a major trophy which I can't see ever happening hes too negative to go for it, fanbase is split. 3rd place cup final and folk still not fully behind him. A few bad results and phoodle out will start again. Hes a steady manager but wd any other manager have got even more out of the squad in last year again who knows. Lets blame Joe. 😄 Good.
