    Oh was a sergeant in the S Korean military. I'm guessing the other 2 will have done some kind of service, so they can probably handle most things thrown at them.

    Agree with most of what you say here, but they only need to outmuscle us this season and regardless, they should not be our barometer definitely need to add a bit of strength and experience, need the correct balance between youth/projects and experience.. especially to make an impact in Europe.

    Transfer fee doesn't come into it for me either, we could get Tete on a free for example.. but money may need to be spent on...

    GK, LB, CB, DM and LW..

    Yang did not choose to go through with his military service yet- the CDM on the other hand, did.

    Agree on pushing the boat out, if the right players are available. Clubs in Europe may look at the Jota deal, and think they could also make money in selling to us.

    Again, them signing these 6ft+ players could backfire on them, as our high energy press destroyed their tactics in the games that mattered last season.

    He looks like an exciting player tbh.

    One I'm most excited about so far. Putting someone like him in a team that dominates every game near enough has a lot of potential.

    Didn't realise he'd won YPOTY either last year.

    Not looking too much into his last season as Gangwon have been dire. Can barely string the passes together to get any of their frontmen on the ball. Their pitch is a tattie field aswell.

    They are so bad they've only won 2 games, their top scorer has only 3 goals in 18 and the team overall have scored 14 in 23.

    His output will hopefully bounce back up here and the pitch will be more conducive to his style of play.

    I'll be honest, with Ange gone I'd rather see us look to other markets, but it is what it is. 21 years old, not much of a replacement for Jota on paper but maybe it'll work out.

    His current owner says he is the next son that's a decent pedigree

    YANG HYUN-JUN has been backed to emulate Son Heung-min — and become South Korea’s next superstar.

    Gangwon FC chief executive Kim Byung-ji yesterday confirmed the 21-year-old has agreed to join Celtic in a £2.1million deal.


    Winger Yang is set to pen a long-term contract, with Kim adamant he can follow in the footsteps of Spurs attacker Son.

    He said: “We have let Yang leave to support his football future and dreams. When I look at Son Heung-min and other players, I see how much hope and joy they give to the people of Korea.

    “I want Yang to do the same. I want him to help the development and status of football in our country.

    “To be honest, I don’t want to let him go. I hate sending him away from our club.




    But the stories are true. He is transferring to Celtic and I hope he does well.

    “The transfer fee is €2.5million and I am sure that he will become an even better player in the coming years.

    “This transfer has caused us a lot of worry. I first heard about it in May and my thought was that it would happen in the winter.

    “We said that we would think about any good offers that came then, but then the circumstances changed


    Fortunately, we have recruited players and we are in a space where Yang can leave now.

    “I thought that I should back Yang’s dream for the development of Korean football.

    “It would be nice if he goes to Celtic and does well there.”

    Yang ‘signed’ his Celtic contract during a bizarre live YouTube conference with Kim.

    He then said farewell to Gangwon fans after the 1-1 K-League draw with FC Seoul.


    The youngster said: “I leave with a heavy heart because the club is in a difficult situation with our league position.

    “I want to say sorry to the fans for not being able to do more.

    “I appreciate the support the fans have given me. They have helped me become a better player.”

    He's never gonna live up to the original Korea legend that was Cha Du Ri.

    No man could. He was just too good. Even Danny McGrain admitted that Cha was a better full back than himself.

    Tom Boyd No chance

    Tommy Gemmelll NET ET

    Danny McGrain A Cheap immitation

    Cha Du Ri.............the best full back we will ever see in the hoops
