Yoo Byung-Soo

[Chobot]

If you don't remember me, I did say a bit back that I believe that Yoo Byung-Soo could shine for the Wanderers and behold. Apparently, he was a transfer target

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My old explanation:
Yoo Byung-Soo is the current lead scorer of the K-League, a title usually held by a Brazilian or another South American import. He has matured greatly in one of the most prolific strikers ever produced by Korean at the young age of 22. Although he remains largely untested in terms of European competition, I have a feeling that he may become one of the Korean national team's top strikers along with Son Heung-Min. He is not well known outside of Korea and has had only 1 national team appearance at the end of a match. Remember, this league is the same league that Lee Chung Yong came out of and Chungy had gotten top assists in this League (Though Chungy was determined early on to be a great player and played with the National side's U-17, U-23, etc. and Yoo has not). He definitely is somewhat of a risky signing, but will come extremely cheap with his obscurity and Korean clubs willingness to export a Korean player to a European league no matter the price. The same age as Chungy, this signing could be either a hit or a miss (recalling the fate of a similar Korean striker Lee Dong Gook, joined Middlesbrough and had a decent run, but nothing spectacular. Dong Gook was noted for his lack of work ethic and earned the nickname "The Lazy Genius," by the Korean press. He later got the top scorers in the K-League in 2009, a year after leaving Middlesbrough). However, I feel Yoo exemplifies that classic Korean work ethic that Chungy and Park Ji Sung has. He trains and works hard. After seeing his growth from his 2009 to 2010 season (14 to 23 goals), I feel like he could shine in the European leagues. [0.5-2mil]

Personally I think we should nab him. Elmander and Kevin Davies have the striker positions locked down, but we never know when Elmander might leave. I think Yoo Byung-Soo could potentially become the next Elmander. And if Elmander stays, we could loan him out to some Ligue 1, Eredivisie, or Championship team where I'm sure he could shine. He'll be cheap at around 2.1-2.2 supposedly. If he proves himself he could become a great player or we could sell him for a high profit. I know the Korean defenses seem to be bad, but remember that Chung Yong Lee also played against these defenses, dominated like Yoo did, and did fine in the Premier League. My only worry is that he's a bit slight so he may need to bulk up a little bit. Though we said the same thing about Chung Yong Lee and he's been fine.

The club won't take the risk. Loan maybe...
