Ki Sung-gone

[Rich]

A South Korean in the Toon? Like it.

[Guest firetotheworks]

But aye, he's free, that's obviously the only reason we're signing him. Canny tragic like, not that I think he's bad, but ye nah.

[Mole_Toonfan]

This cunt's going to make searching for earlier points I've made in threads canny problematic.

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

I think he is a canny player, wanted us to go for him, good for the squad.

 

Though it should be a signing to beef up the squad BUT we know that is unlikely.

[sbnufc]

Is he the sort of player who will result in a large number of South Koreans suddenly following NUFC? Potential money spinner.

he was their captain at the world cup, so maybe

[geordiedean]

Decent on a free but offers no improvement to the squad at all. Like for like with Merino for me

I can't remember him playing vs Germany?

Oldtype isn't enough for you?

First article I read on him just now about his World Cup game time says

 

Ki left the Rostov Arena on crutches

 

Sounds about right

Got injured in their 2nd game

[TRon]

Don't know that much about him tbh. Saw him a couple of times at Swansea and he looked like one of those players who threatens to do good stuff but never really does. Hopefully he's better than that obviously.

[STM]

This is only a good signing if it frees up funds for Rafa.

 

In an ideal world, us signing Ki might allow us to move onto other priorities. It could be another reason why we've been reluctant to spend.

 

Makes the Sturaro (sp) links look a less likely.

[Guest neesy111]

Be interested to hear Groo's verdict on him.

[STM]

The only thing I remember thinking was that he's alot bigger than you would expect a South Korean stereotype to be.

[Astroblack]

What's his position? Is he a midfielder or defender? Utility type?

Midfielder

[Odear]

Tidy player. Good with Celtic. Did his best for Swansea. Can’t see him starting ahead of either Diame or Shelvey so a weird one. Good squad cover I suppose.

Centre mid. Good on the ball, likes a set piece and gets himself about the pitch well enough. Probably guilty of not fulfilling his potential throughout his career.

[mrmojorisin75]

Seems a wise move generally if Merino wants away and we're looking to tightly balance money. Rafa will get this lad playingn as well.

[Astroblack]

Feel like he's a threat from set pieces. Anytime I watch Swansea, he wins headers from corners. Makes sense as I see he's 6'2.

[Infinitely Content]

Good signing.

 

Had to head over to RTG to see the verdict. Whilst many agree he's a very good signing on a free, a few others seem to think they wouldn't want him there 'under the new regime' in league one... One even saying he opened the thread praying they hadn't signed him

He'd take the piss in League One
