Cajun Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Adam Johnson (he played for the under 11's) This. Would jizz everywhere if we got him. Christ, imagine him and Ben Arfa on the wings. Both play best in the same position though don't they? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skeletor Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Maybe we're in for Marvin Martin and they got confused. Don't see why we'd bring back Obafemi Martins. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Johnson's character seems a bit suspect, but if we could get him to knuckle down he's a class act. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanSkÃrare Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 If we "can't believe it" it'll be Martins, Carroll or Enrique. I would believe it if N'Zogbia was to come back, for example. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dinotheprehistoricgeordie Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Johnson's not been given a proper run by City, but he always seems to score / assist when he comes on. He can't be a bad player, would take him on loan without even thinking about it. About positions, just play him on the LW. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crayola Kid Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 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. http://www.imscouting.com/global-news-article/Son-Heung-Min-A-look-at-Hamburgs-attacking-Korean-starlet/13333/ Certainly sounds promising. So now instead of goat they might serve dogs and cats? cats for me, like Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtype Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Happy with the Son rumors obviously Don't think there's much in it though. He's a serious talent and Hamburg will be looking to charge a premium (fees upwards of 10m have been mentioned int he past.) Can't see us spending the kind of money that they would demand. Agree with some of that scouting assessment and disagree with other parts. He's not necessarily that fast, but he makes space for himself with his great technique and close control. Good finisher already and will only get better at that. Biggest asset to me is that he's equally comfortable with both feet, which makes him very difficult to predict for defenses. Biggest problem right now is that he doesn't really have a position. He doesn't have the strength to play as a center forward and gets muscled off the ball way too easily, but at the same time, he doesn't have the unselfishness or the passing ability to play on the wing. I suppose he could do a decent job in Ba's position within our 4-3-3, but he wouldn't be naturally suited to it. Needs a lot of work before he becomes a top player.
