oldtype Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 http://kr.img.blog.yahoo.com/ybi/1/8c/11/corealion/folder/7/img_7_15015_1?1184807499.jpg South Korean international midfielder Kim Jungwoo left for England today to have a trial with several Premiership clubs including us. He's apparently also stopping by at Wigan. Kim was part of South Korea's 2004 Olympic Squad which reached the second round, and was a key member of the 2007 Asian Cup squad. He's mainly a box-to-box central midfielder but is very versatile and can play anywhere in the midfield or even up front in a pinch. He's on a free after leaving his J-League club so he can join up immediately if we decide to sign him. Personally, I'm very happy that Keegan/Wise/whoever seems to be recognizing that we need emergency cover in the central midfield, but I don't think he'll make it. He has an amazing workrate and is at least a better passer of the ball than Butt or Smith, but he's painfully thin for his height (182cm) and just doesn't have the physical strength to go toe-to-toe with Premiership midfielders. Not the fastest of players either. Possibly a similar type of player to Scott Parker. Like Cho Jae-Jin, who we almost signed in January, he's not even an automatic South Korean first teamer so I don't see him being a starter in the Permiership. Maybe a decent squad player for a team like Wigan. Then again, not much difference between Wigan and us now at the moment is there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldtype Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 Not sure what the precise circumstances were but the agent's version was that it was nearly a done deal but the Newcastle management pulled out at the last minute due to conflict between Mort-Big Sam.

So if someone came on here and spouted off the n word that'd be fine too, since they're just being stupid? No reasonably moderated board would allow this sort of thing to happen unpunished. Granted, I've now found out that the twat is only 14 years old, so my desire to shove sharp metal objects down his dirty throat has abated somewhat.
