Thanks, Watson. Always happy to uncover the mysteries of the obvious!
Have it your way bud- McWorld n all that.
I do hope Yang comes good and I'm eager to see him play some games in a higher standard league.
Unlike Yang, Bergvall was sought after by the likes of Barcelona.
He cost three times as much.
He comes from a country that isn't as 'Spurs' as the SKs are (refer to previously cited NYT article). Kulu has possibly attracted a few countrymen but on a tiny scale by comparison to Son at present (although who knows if he keeps playing the way he has been). Bergvall's 'buzz' with our fanbase was that he was a high-quality known prospect beforehand. His marketing began the second we snatched him from Barcelona on the promise that he would receive development under Ange. Yang is obviously talented but there's a reason the likes of Barcelona went for Bergvall and not Yang. The former was a higher-quality acquisition.
Yang is a talented SK kid who cost a few bottom up pints and is now at a club with a lot of SK fans at present. His stock may rise as Sonny's fades and those same fans will be far more likely to stay invested in the club if he succeeds.
Now the basic reason I was bleating on about Yang in the first place is because I would have preferred us to have scouted a more experienced player. If I'm honest, right this moment, I'd rather Bergvall was being developed on loan. I love it when we get young players in and really like the fact that we have a young squad overall, but there are some who I feel are more ready than others and I don't believe Yang will be for a fair old while yet. I believe we can acquire better more experienced quality to help push us up the table while he's being developed elsewhere.
Go back and read the other posts I've written of late because I don't want to spend time repeating myself.
Yang Min-hyeok is a K-League MVP finalist
He’s the youngest ever MVP finalist in K-League history!

Youngest ever MVP Finalist. Props to the kid.
K League is 20th ranked, Bergvall’s Allsvenskan is 28th (not sure he played the whole season, but didn’t see him MVP nominated) for perspective.
Basically your assessment is that Lucas is more "talented" than Yang because Barcelona was after him and you don't think he is ready because he comes from Asia.

Sssshhh !
This sort of nonsense is totally irrelevant. Can you tell me who the previous years MVP finalists were? Probably not because they’ve disappeared without a trace.Yang Min-hyeok is a K-League MVP finalist

People need to stop looking at the fucking K league as some sort of indicator this kid will make it here. It’s 2 different footballing worlds.
Cost 3M quid - Levy probably paid more the dramatic (sarcasm) logo re-design so who cares why we signed him. He’s a cheap CHEAP f’in punt (who Chavs and other EPL teams also reportedly wanted). Yang makes it -Fantastic! If he doesn’t - Whatever.
The 3M didn’t stop Levy from ALSO signing say Neto or some other established winger. The real issue here - like it usually is with us - is that Levy is a cheap f’in cunt. ENIC/Levy out.

I've practically written a dissertation about what I think of all of this, which you've misread. I'm not spending another second on it.Basically your assessment is that Lucas is more "talented" than Yang because Barcelona was after him and you don't think he is ready because he comes from Asia.
As is your perspective, nonsense, from my perspective.
Why would I know previous finalists? It indicates he is playing at a level that no other South Korean has played at that young age, in that league. Watching clips, he has a great ball striking technique for a young man, he moves really well, is slight but still reasonably robust, has a good eye and execution of advanced passes.
Odds are he won’t be good enough, for a few years, if ever. But, I choose to have hope and excitement about a kid who at £3m might well be a huge bargain and very good player.
Looking forward to the Alisdair Gold article on how we've shelved plans for a new winger in January because Yang is impressing so much in training.
I bet it's already written and saved in the drafts ready to hit "post" at 0001 January 1st 2025...
I know all about this mate ( been discussed and disputed here at length) he is no longer principal owner one and two, he still wouldn't be anywhere near as bad as bone saw MBS.
Going out on a wire here, I very much doubt this kid is the next Sonny. Or even becomes an elite EPL player. Hope he does (or though as we've found out the down side is the boring personal followers) but it's a pretty steep road.
That is true but its foolish to underestimate it either. Just because he is from Korea doesn't mean he can't make it here. It will be difficult for sure, but if he does turn out decent or even great then it is jackpot for us. At his age and potential can be worth alot.
Do you plan to remain a lifelong Spurs fan if Sonny retires and we have no Korean players in our squad?
Just curious.
I was a Spurs fan since 1983. Probably long before you were born kid.
nice to see the guy is getting pelters before he has even trained!
