Cho Gue-sung

Not impressed with the protracted contract talks.
Not impressed with his videos.
How long do we pander to this circus?

Surely he cant be the only Cho in town

 

Patience. If it wasn’t for work permit issues, he’d be here already (and I don’t think he’d be the only South Korean either).

If he’s keen to move in this window (which he is) and there’s an outside chance that we can’t sign him due to work permit issues (which there is), then can his club and his agent really be blamed for lining up alternatives?

 

Out of interest do you know is this just the time it’s taking to get a work permit or there are issues with him getting one?

He seems to have a number of caps (20) and was in their current World Cup squad for a fairly well ranked international side (25th according to the FIFA website).

 

Yes. As usual that statement has been sensationalised when in reality it isn’t that big a deal and shows at least that he has ambition to be a quality player.

 

Would be worried if his goal was to get to the Scottish Premiership and stay. Every player we sign and probably most of our youth who are Celtic fans will want to make it to the EPL. Tierney/Doak for example.

Cho Kyu-seong (25, Jeonbuk Hyundai), who is receiving a love call from Europe, said, "I'm thinking about a better way, whether it's good to go to Europe in January or transfer in the summer."

Cho Kyu-seong met with reporters at the 2023 K-League Winter Field Training Media Camp held at the Jeonbuk Hyundai Clubhouse in Wanju, Jeonbuk on the 12th and said, "I'm contemplating the timing of a European transfer while talking and communicating with director Park Ji-sung and coach Kim Sang-shik."

Cho Kyu-sung, who emerged as a top star through the last World Cup in Qatar, has recently been receiving love calls from European clubs such as Germany's Mainz, Scotland's Celtic, and Rangers. Local news came out that not only Europe but also Minnesota in the United States want to recruit Cho Kyu-sung.




Cho Kyu-sung explained, "I've seen many articles, but I haven't heard anything concrete yet."

"Not only me, but any player will have the same desire to go to Europe as soon as a good opportunity comes," he said. It can be improved. Considering all aspects, we are thinking about how to do it most effectively.”

As the final goal, he chose the stage of the English Premier League (EPL). "In the end, I think that if you are a player, you set your final goal and go. All players will want to go to the EPL," he said. think," he said.

He said, "There are players who have to advance now within the team regarding the timing of the transfer, and there are players who have to prepare for the season together with the squad in the summer. They are all so different," he said. I guess it will." He smiled.

Cho Kyu-seong said, "I always think of doing my best in the given position. Whether it's in the K-League or overseas, it's not decided yet, so I'm thinking about it comfortably every day." "I will do my best in the given position.

 

Is there any difference with obtaining a work permit for Japanese player than South Korean? Is there an agreement to process them quicker for Japan than South Korea cause we don’t seem to * about with any of the players from Japan.

also if it takes longer around 8 weeks did you say a while back, please correct me if this isn’t the case then why haven’t we sorted our bid out again like the other players we have signed and boxed off already.

Just have bad feelings about this deal like him and his team are using us a bait to get a bigger club involved.

 

I might be wrong here but I'm sure the UK and Japanese governments have a trade deal and so it's much easier to process their work permits.

 

I think he wants to move to Mainz, dunno if they'll stump up for him though. Not sure he's actually bothered about coming here.

 

With Cho, I believe it’s just a timing issue. With the others, I believe there are doubts on them actually getting a work permit.

I believe the permits for Japanese workers are processed quicker due to international relations but not 100% on that.

In any event, Kobayashi and Iwata’s permits were applied for further in advance. We’ve been told 8 weeks, but fingers crossed for sooner.

 

We're getting played.

 

@McGrory1888 are we still expecting a decision by the weekend?

 

Or are we playing, to freely move on other targets while media report on this one?

 

To the best of my knowledge, we never were.

 

@McGrory1888 *, my bad. Sure I read somewhere that his club were hopeful of an outcome by the weekend.

 

I don’t think we would put in a concrete bid if we knew their would be permit problems

No worries. Think the (Scottish?) media had reported that but I think it’s just sensationalist guesswork tbh.

 

Ange won't be happy with how public this has become.

 

I think the Scottish media conduct on this story has been shocking tbh quoting numbers from other teams which turned out to be a lot of * basically having to get news from media out with our country aswell to know the other sides are out of the running
