Seems we're in for him.

 

Wiki Bio

 

Local Chip Wrapper.

and in other news nicky hunt has been told he can leave, although rumour has it he can go on a free. considering as how still has 2 years left on his contract and has played over 150 premier league and europe games i would at least expect we command a decent transfer fee for him. he's also still only 25 as well. at least ?2m i'd say. flog him back to birmingham

skysports reckon he's got his work permit and will sign for around ?2.2m

Addition to the attacking options onwards we go

Looking forward to seeing this lad

 

Hopefully he'll have plenty of energy and a bit of pace, that would freshen us right up

We thought that about Nakata and Nishisowa!!!

nakata did ok when he played, altho that wasn't much. showed his passion for bolton by getting sent off against blackurn!

 

he scored a couple of goals and created a few as well. i remeber that free kick against west brom and an amazing beckham like cross for vaz te to head in against charlton as glimpses of the quality he had in his earlier career. i agree i hope he will prove to be alot better and more consistent than nakata. nakata was a beckham-like god in japan and from the sounds of it lee chung-yong has the same kind of popularity and respect in korea.

 

nakata (in his early years/prime) was a hugely talented footballer hence him joining parma for about ?20m - not much today but 10 years ago it was quite a bit). hopefully if chung-yong can adapt to the league and play regularly and deliver in terms of assists and goals then if (most likely when) we would come to sell him, we would make a very hefty profit. ?2m is not a risk in todays football. I don't think we can really loose with this signing

 

all that being said i guess we'll see what he's like in the pre-season game against hibs as thats when he's pencilled into play. i just hope our other players can keep up with him on the pitch!!

unless he turns aout to be as good as Riga, and then we do lose.................

i think riga along with a lot of our big signings from last summer will do better this season. many players from abroad take at least a season to adapt to the pace and power of the prem. riga and elmander will benefit from being injury free and getting a full pre-season campaign under their belt. they have played in the prem for a year and now know what it is about and what it takes.

 

i think with the additions of sean davis, lee chung yong and hopefully a couple of other attacking players our style of play will suite riga and elmander more this season

 

don't forget riga has a very good pedigree in both the top dutch and spanish league scoring goals and creating goals consistently as does elmander.

 

muamba will also come good this season as well from the confidence he gained wih the under 21's

 

even if it does take lee chung-yong a while to settle hopefully our big signings from last summer will kick on this season and will mean his involvement won't be as essential

If he's as good as Park Ji Sung i'le be happy.

i decided you must be talking shite at this point. is it worth me reading on?

according to todays bolton news chung yong might not have his work permit cleared through the British Home Office in time for the hibs game. Although from the sounds of the article that is the only thing stopping bolton confirming the deal complete

Do not agree with everything in your post, but tiptop optimistic outlook, keep up the attitude soldier.

That's odd. It was reported a week ago as having been granted.

Maybe it's just me, but we seem to have a history of problems/delays with work permits when they're needed.

Was thinking similar myself. No other fucker seems to have any problems!

We're probably really honest & don't fudge the system.

Wouldn't happen if we were the filth.

there have been quite a few work permit issues this summer. sunderland defender paulo da silva still hasn't been granted one despite a deal being completed a month ago and christian benitez at brum still hasn't got one. i'm sure there might be one or two others as well but i don't think we're the only ones. as long as we can get him before the sunderland game then i don't mind. (not that he'll start but would be good to have as an option from the bench)
