Since theres no real football on now i've been watching some asian leagues, especially the Korean K-League and it's unbelievable the ammount of talent they have there that a team in Europe could sign for close to nothing. Been particularly impressed by the team Jeonbuk and some of their players, especially Kim Bo Kyung. Some of you might remember him from Cardiff (I think he played two or three seasons for them, also in the Prem). Can't see a footballing reason why he'd go back to Korea, because he's fantastic. Not exactly saying he'd be a good fit for City, since we do have better players in his position, but still worth a look for other Prem teams. Guessing signing any of these guys would be a nightmare workpermit wise, but if you manage it you end up with a high quality player that is used to playing all sorts of opposition (Asian Champs league) for a bargain. Doubt one of these clubs would ask for more than a million pounds for any of their stars.
Just thought about this thread after watching a match rerun and thought i'd post.
Fck me what a player, great tight situation skills, don't remember him playing over here..
If he was south American and 16yr old he would be worth 110 million euro !
