Shinji Kagawa was signed by Dortmund from the second tier in Japan. It's good that there are scouts in Asia.

Lowensda Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 Football in Asia is growing. You find that there's a large pool of athletic and technically gifted individuals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avinalaff Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 Football in Asia is growing. You find that there's a large pool of athletic and technically gifted individuals. I remember them all being quite tall and physical in the national team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont get me wrong, its great that Everton are scouting the foreign leagues for unknown cheap talent but what we need right now is someone we know will put the ball in the net. Someone like Henry. Old as fuck, would score a few. Sign this guy up if he is any good but dont stop looking for other strikers. If we can afford both that is.

Steve_E Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 I'm pretty sure the league is shit: a couple of players from Belgium's second division have been moving there of late and are actually doing well there. However that doesn't mean there can't be a good player in a bad league. On second thought, this guy has scored 10 in 28 games this season, one of those 2nd division Belgians (Kevin Oris) has scored 10 in 27, so I doubt Kim Shin Wook will be good enough to make it over here. It's a daily mail rumour anyway, so who really cares. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonButtle Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 (edited) If we sign a striker it needs to be someone who is(or has the potential to be) a proven goalscorer, if not from this country then hopefully someone from one of the better European Leagues. The right man competing would hopefully push Jelavic back into form, and push us into a CL spot. I really think the Korean League is out of our league for now so to speak Any striker coming in though i reckon is only going to be on loan any way, i don't see us signing anyone/ Edited January 13, 2013 by Simon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avinalaff Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 There are very few proven goalscorers in the world that are in our price range. We need to find them before they set the world alight, and the only way to do it is to bring in the players that have an outside chance.

mcirony Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 Darren Bent on an initial loan woul be good. StevO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romey 1878 Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 Darren Bent on an initial loan woul be good. I don't think Moyes has any interest in him. He's had many chances to sign him and never made a move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duncanmckenzieismagic Posted January 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 I don't think Moyes has any interest in him. He's had many chances to sign him and never made a move. Probably not had the money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcirony Posted January 14, 2013 Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 Probably not had the money I think this is more likely. Bent would probably be available for 7-10 million at the moment, despite being massively out of favour. Surely if Villa dont want him theyd want him off their wage bill, he muist be on big bucks. Hmmm perhaps thats another reason why we havent gone for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romey 1878 Posted January 14, 2013 Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 Probably not had the money Moyes turned down the opportunity to sign him when he was with Ipswich and Royle recommended him to us. Don't think the £3million he cost then would have been a problem for us (we pay on the drip like most clubs). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Posted January 14, 2013 Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 Bought Marcus instead of Darren, but i'm not sure if hes as good as he was, he seems to have lost something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brett Angel Posted January 14, 2013 Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 NO THANKS, We've had far too many floppy tiddly winks to last us a life time.....

mcirony Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 (edited) Been linked again today on talkSPORT, us and QPR ( who else?!!) apparently. Just watched a vid on youtube, he's fookin massive! Could be an interesting prospect, Korean football league doesn't look great but he's athletic, can head the ball well and hits the ball first time well ( a la jelly last year!).

Zoo Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 I wouldn't mind a loan with an option to buy. That way if he's wank we can just send him back and if he's any good we get first dibs . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueBlood81 Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 Hopefully we can get someone a bit more proven in at this stage of the season. Need someone to hit the ground running and bang the goals in. Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chicagoblue Posted January 30, 2013 Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 Just can't see this happening. For all his size advantage in the Korean league he's not even averaging 1 in 3. Unless he's available in the Vellios price range that is. Would far rather see us pick up a pacy, tricky forward who wants to run in behind than another behemoth for us to launch air mail towards. http://youtu.be/VD4c4rJG03w Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
