BackOfTheNet Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 4 minutes ago, Newton51 said: On 31 August 2017, Lee joined an Italian club Hellas Verona on a four-year deal, for a fee of €1.5 million. Barcelona retained the option to repurchase him until 2019 for an undisclosed fee.[12] On 24 September, he made his Serie A debut for Verona in the second half of the game against Lazio.[13] On 6 May 2018, he scored his first Serie A goal in an away match against Milan, but his team lost 4–1.[11] Verona was relegated to the Serie B by finishing the league in 19th place. He scored one goal and provided two assists during 27 appearances in the 2018–19 Serie B. Verona was promoted to the Serie A by winning the promotion play-offs,[14] but he was excluded from Verona's plan for the next season. Sint-TruidenEdit On 30 August 2019, Lee joined Belgian First Division A side Sint-Truiden.[15] He was excluded from the list of the squad for twelve consecutive matches, and this situation caused much controversy in South Korea.[16][17] His name was on the list for the first time against Genk on 29 November,[18] and he made his Belgian league debut against Waasland-Beverenon 26 December.[19] He finished his first season due to early termination of the Belgian league caused by the COVID-19 pandemic after making only four appearances.[20] On 13 September 2020, he scored his first and second goal for Sint-Truiden against Royal Antwerp, but his team lost 3–2 despite his two goals.[21]However, he failed to score in six games where he played as a starter excluding a game against Antwerp, and his team also did not get a victory at the same time.[22] When he was being excluded from the squad again, some South Korean journalists recommended playing in South Korea to him.[22] Loan to PortimonenseEdit On 1 February 2021, Lee joined Primeira Liga side Portimonense on a six-month loan deal with an option to buy.[23] He had difficulty in leaving special impression on the new club. He left Portimonense after the end of his contract. Guy is 24, played for Barcelona B, in Serie A, the Jupiler League and Primeira Liga in Portugal. Maybe not as much as he’d like, but still young. Also can 11 caps for South Korea, who are a pretty quality side these days. And when back in the K-League his goal scoring record is 1 in 2. Definite talent and potential. Only worries may be physical side of the game for his size and settling in Scotland I would suspect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers! 1 hour ago, DC_92 said: This is the best I can do, based on his time with Burton in the Championship a few years ago. https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/16332383.complete-lowdown-rovers-new-boy-jacob-davenport/ “He had a real impact on performances at Burton. The club was on a low ebb when he joined as they had had a terrible January but he made his debut at Villa Park and was one of the best players on the pitch. “He was very composed and he more than held his own. “He was virtually an ever present after that. “He tended to play deep at Burton as one of three central midfielders and he has an excellent range of passing and is capable of linking play between defence and attack. “He was consistent in his performances and the supporters were huge fans of his, I am sure if Burton had stayed up then they would have made attempts to bring him back on loan. “He was excited to play senior football and I think he proved he was more than capable of playing at Championship level." Thanks for that. Interesting reading. He seems similar to Beni, talented but hampered by injury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See my last post above, I suspect as he’s an Ex-Barcelona youth who has played in some of Europe’s best leagues and has a great record in the K-League and is a South Korean international. Whereas Davenport is a player that was an ex-Man City youth, yes, but just got released by Blackburn for his injury record. I think it’s fairly reasonable to be more excited by one and not the other.

And people are not getting that excited about Davenport as he’s just come off an injury (again) and has had so few appearances you can’t even find an obligatory YouTube video. Davenport might be closer, but there’s much less to know about him than Seung-woo. It’s a perfectly normal response, to be honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

jamboinglasgow Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
