Chung-Yong signs new Wanderers deal

[Svenia]

Chung-Yong Lee has signed an extension to his contract which ties him to Wanderers until 2013.

The South Korean has made a big impression since arriving at the Reebok Stadium in July of last year from FC Seoul in a £2.2million deal.

The deal comes as a boost to Wanderers at a time when speculation has arisen that the club may have to sell in the wake of their total debt reaching £93m.

Manager Owen Coyle said: "It is terrific that the club are tying down young players like Chung-Yong and are building for the future, particularly given all the things that have been written about us financially."

This was a bit out of the blue but really good news. I read somewhere this week that CYL has scored 2 and created 5 goals this season already. After a bit of a slow start (World Cup etc) he has been on top form this last 6-8 games and is not only a threat going forward but he doesn't seem like he will blow away in the wind any more.

Considering what Phil Gatside said last week, I feared CYL may have been a target for one of the big clubs in January. Especially considering CYL has previously expressed his desire to be challenging for a trophies and playing in the Champions League so I think this is a result of our current form and league position.

Well done OC, Phil, Eddie and BWFC.

Good news.

However, is this a good day to bury bad news? No word yet on Elmander.

They only had the meeting yesterday Gary - the Chung talks have been ongoing since he came back from the World Cup.

So basically he's signed an extension so we'll get a better price for him in January.
Fairy nuff, I've got no complaints with that.

That crossed my mind as well. Either way it is a good signing.

[Lofthouse Lower]

We'd likely get between £8m-£10m for the lad, I should think, which makes a nice return on our investment.

Same translators as Robinho then when he said he was delighted to join Chelsea...

Great news, great signing!

He deserves his own shirt now

[enrdentw]

It would be great if, when announcing the starting 11 on Saturday as the players are coming on he introduces Elmander with 'Number 9, and signed a new 2 year contract extension... Johan Elmander!'. The crowd goes wild, a fantastic atmosphere begins to brew which lifts the team to another victory!

I'm getting a bit carried away but I REALLY REALLY REALLY cant wait for Saturday!!!

Good news.

Personally, purely from a business point of view it's better we've got Lee siogned on than Elmander.

Good news
