Still convinced if deployed correctly, Hugo would have been a very good playmaker for us.

 

His range of passing was excellent.

 

:nods:

 

His pass to Bernard in the Chelsea game all those years ago was exquisite.

9 goals in 4 pre-season matches for Hamburg's Son Heung-Min. Looking sharp :snod:

 

Eh. How have they played 4 pre-season games already?

 

The teams Hamburg've played arrived at their stadiums to find beach towels draped all over the away dugout, they had to play them in a friendly before they'd shift.

On the tour of Asia at a fan meet and greet Arsenal put Vela, Traore and Denilson on the same table. It was about as popular as a children's party thrown by Gary Glitter by the sounds of it.

South Korean domestic football is officially going to hell due to a massive, massive, absolutely f***ing ridiculous match-fixing scandal.

 

Initial investigation revealed 10 current and former players who were engaged in match fixing, all of whom were banned for life from Korean professional football. Then the second investigation came up with an additional 45 players.

 

One team in particular has lost 9 active players to match-fixing bans, including 3 of their 4 goalkeepers. After their only remaining goalkeeper was sent off last week, they had to play 90 minutes this week with a defender in goal.

 

Now just today it's been revealed that the manager of that same team has been receiving payments by persistently blackmailing the parents of players whom he knew were match-fixing.

 

Absolutely f***ing ridiculous. :lol:

Ah so it is, didn't see that bit. Cracking offer mind, less than £4.50 a game for adults should they reach the target. Considering it myself despite the fact i could only make it to about half the games due to work.

Yeah I'm 18. Didn't realise it was £50 for Under 19s until today.

 

They sold 277 today, seems it's picking up at the finish line and they should beat it comfortably. The chances are they could even sell more after that target once everybody knows the price is guarenteed.

Rumors going around for the past week and a half or so that Marcelo Bielsa was approached with some kind of role with USSF and the national team. Obviously he's not going to, but I hope we really did make an attempt, shows those guys might actually know what they're doing.

Read today that the minimum wage for player is about $11,000 per year.

 

That's less than half of what I'm making working in Korea right now, what the fuck did they expect?

Market forces, football isn't that popular here so obviously your average reservist isn't going to be making a lot of money. For what its worth one of the solutions they're introducing is to double the minimum wage.

 

It isn't just the piss-poor players though. There are internationals involved who commanded salaries roughly commensurate to that of lower-end Premier League players who've had leading roles in the whole affair. It's a complete embarrassment.

How does the cost of living in Korea compare to England?

And how much money is involved in top-end Korean football, they're surely on as much as the game can afford?
