    Always had potential. It takes a very specific type of striker at Celtic though.

    We play against 10men behind the ball 90% of our games and players have little space to operate in. Only suits a handful of players.

    16 goals in 1100 minutes is impressive if true.

    I always liked him , he always had the drive and aggression that Idah seems to lack sometimes. If imagine oh was pushing for a move because he wanted to play, otherwise I'm sure he would still be here , and possibly be our number 1 by now

    He was absolute gash for us.

    Getting any sort of substantial sell on fee is another masterstroke by those in charge of our transfer dealings with outgoing players.

    Absolutely no chance. Oh featured in every single league game in Rodger's first season... until Idah arrived and then he could barely make the bench. The manager sees them in training and clearly preferred Idah (largely because he's clearly a better player than Oh). Good luck to Oh though, nice guy.

    We wouldn’t pay what it would cost.

    He had it when he was with us, shouldn't have sold him.

    Just needed game time, said the same when we got rid I would of been happy to put him on loan and bring back. Has everything you want in a striker along with the right attitude.

    Maybe the pressures of Celtic were too much for him.

    Does have some goalscoring record for how little he's played in his career.

    Celtic 1317 minutes 12 goals
    Genk 937 minutes 13 goals
    South Korea 483 minutes 4 goals

    29 goals in 2737 minutes, averaging a goal ever 94 minutes

    He only started:
    3 of 19 games for South Korea
    6 of 47 games for Celtic
    7 of 42 games for Genk

    That might be about to change at Genk as it sounds like when their main striker moves on this summer Oh is expected to be given the chance to be the main man.

    No he didn't. He wasn't good enough and still isn't.

    Just a lack of ability.

    I wish him all the best but he would not be the answer as he is similar to Idah. A lump.

    We need to get rid of the Idah's. We don't need two of them.

    Look at his goals to minutes, if he got some proper game time he'd have been a big scorer. It's looking like he'll get that time this season and we will see
