I'd rather stick with Murphy and Isak. As much as I love Bruno, Tonali etc, Isak is the only player we have who is so far beyond what we could replace him with that it's hard to imagine us ever benefiting from his sale. Liverpool did similar with Salah and they won the league, not a chance they're 2025 champions without him.

Would sooner have Elanga & Isak.

I have one with his name

I’d love to see a Ballon d’Or winner in a black and white shirt as much as anybody, but he must be about 60 years old by now? Surely his pace will have gone?

Frankly enjoyed Kuqi for NUFC more than I enjoyed Ki for NUFC. Ashely hadn’t broken my soul yet.

Proud to have seen Shefki Kuqi wearing the NUFC shirt.

That's class by Suarez.

Please stop. I've now got Nigel Lamont in my mind.

Fuck no. Levels.

I’m probably in a minority but I thought Ki was a really tidy player for us and was sad to see him go.

Yeah DeAndre Yedlin played for us so I get it

We could do way worse than Weah for depth on the right. Especially for that little of money.

I'm long past the point where I actually care about Koreans playing for NUFC. Ki was one of my favorite players ever and that was... not a good experience so I've kind of soured on it all.

These days, European teams have genuinely reached FM-levels of foreign prospect scouting (i.e. they have folks looking at 15 year olds in obscure foreign leagues in Asia or Africa). It seems like we have people over to scout the Korean leagues periodically and he just happened to catch our eye. He has been capped at U-17 and U-20 level but so far has not stood out in either (to be fair, he just turned 18).

Has he stood out internationally for your youth teams? Wonder if that's where he was spotted.

Think about all the shirts we'll sell when we sign him. I'm sure Oldtype will buy at least 5 of them

Oldtype ITK here we go!

Based on what's being reported in local media it sounds like he's definitely signing with us FWIW. He's very young and barely gets playing time in the Korean second tier, so probably one for the far future (or never). Also, fuck off with all of your racist Korean jokes they have not improved in quality one bit in the twenty years I've been on this forum.

I dunno, I think he'd have a good korea here.

Is he any good physically? Is he fast? Only seen clips. Looks technically very good but needs the other two elements.

My mistake. I assumed that Burnley was a bigger draw just based on its proximity to Manchester.

Don't agree with that like. Burnley's only rivalry is with Blackburn 'Bastard' Rovers, don't think there's anything between them and Man Utd. It's just supply and demand - they know they have to charge the lowest amount for Sunderland because they are the least glamorous, least appealing team in the league. This is now a quantifiable fact, given this new evidence.
