Could be Martins, that Russian site said suggested so :lol:

 

Is Trippier the one who was at Man City? Could be a useful player with time on his side to have around the squad next year.

Son Heung-Min - A look at Hamburg's attacking Korean starlet

March 08, 2011 | Player profile | 3 Comments |

 

The new South Korea number 11 is one of the best Asian talents in German football.

 

18-year-old South Korean forward Heung-Min was snapped up from the high-school team he played for in his homeland and brought into the Hamburger SV youth academy in 2008, at the age of 16.

 

He was fast-tracked to the the senior side's pre-season training ahead of the current campaign and was easily the most impressive among Hamburg players as he scored nine goals in 10 appearances, including a memorable goal against Premier League outfit Chelsea, before suffering a foot injury that kept him out of action for the following two months.

 

Upon returning, the talented South Korea international struck a goal on his league debut against FC Koln in November 2010 and earned praise from his teammate and legendary Dutch goal-machine Ruud van Nistelrooy, who labelled the teenager “something special”.

 

Hamburg acted quickly to extend the attacker's contract to 2014, and he has so far contributed three goals in eight league outings.

 

Heung-Min formerly represented the South Korea U-17 team and scored seven goals in 15 appearances before making the step up to senior international football; he has so far been capped five times for his national team and scored a goal in South Korea's 4-1 win over India in the 2011 Asian Cup in Qatar.

 

Heung-Min can be deployed as a striker, central attacking midfielder or winger on either flank; this kind of versatility is made possible by his excellent ball control with both feet and dribbling ability.

 

 

Strengths

 

Heung-Min mixes explosive pace, dribbling skills and composure in front of goal; he is an agile and tricky forward who plays with his front to goal and looks to run at defenders or break the offside trap with his speed.

 

He can use both feet equally well, has excellent ball control and first touch, and is a hard-working player with more than enough stamina required to succeed at the high levels.

 

 

Weaknesses

 

Lapses in concentration can hinder his game as he sometimes wanders out of position and isn't always focused enough throughout a game; this, however, will surely improve as he matures and gains more experience.

 

Even at 1.83m of height, he does not pose much of an aerial threat; will become a much more lethal striker if he hones his heading game.

 

Not strong enough to compete with the brawnier defenders of the German Bundesliga and can be coolly muscled off the ball if his pace is matched by his marker.

 

Can pose a threat from the wing as he tears down the flanks, but will have to improve his crossing and passing ability in order to become a quality option across midfield.

 

He must improve his defensive ability as he currently doesn't contribute quite enough to his side's back line by tracking back and pressuring.

Certainly sounds promising.

 

So now instead of goat they might serve dogs and cats?

Coming back to NUFC?

 

N'Zogbia.

 

is the most likely name I've heard mention.

 

Could it just be speculation, based on a clause in his contract should Villa be relegated, and the fact we've been linked before?

 

I'd like us to go for someone better.

Uncalled for.

 

Dammit!  I hit my computer screen out of reaction to this pic.  It just felt so natural.
