Park Chu-Young (AS Monaco)

There is a lot of reports springing up on the internet linking us to the South Korean forward. He had a decent World Cup but has been pretty average for Monaco and has a poor goalscoring record for a forward.

I think if this true it is a move being pushed by Purslow and Ayres not Hodgson. I watched an interview a couple of weeks ago and he was on about buying a middle eastern player to break the market there, if he comes that is exactly the reason why. I would be disgusted with this.

It's not good at all but sadly that's the nature of modern day football

S.korea is not in middle east.

That's in far-east, with Japan & China.

Well it is the market Ayres was talking about breaking, he was actually talking about how many jerseys Park sold for Utd in South Korea.

That is the only reason this lad would be bought to sell jerseys thanks anyway kanno for the geography leason.

I'm korean.

but I don't want Park sign LFC.

I want liverpool-class players, and I don't think he is the one.

sorry for my english is not so good.

I'd rather see the lad who plays for Bolton signed, he is pretty decent.

Same here. Lee Chung-Yong is it?

Yeah, he has reallt good for Bolton second half of the season. And pretty good in the WC, and at 22 will be a good shout. If we are in the sh*te for transfer funds then we could do a lot worse than him. In fact even if we had money i'd suggest him.

Park Chu Young got 19 goals in 2 seasons for Seoul before he was signed for Monaco where he has being a poor signing to be honest, so he is far from profilic.

 But hey he will sell millions of jerseys in Korea, so go buy him Ayres I mean Hodgson(I'm being sacrastic just in case ye don't know)

Saw that interview.
He pretty much came out and said if it was up to him they would have a player from that market.

So our next three signings will be Asian, African and American... Gotta cover all the bases/markets

Who the F**k is this bloke....?

Saw that as well
I can understand why they are doing it from a "business" point of view but footballing wise think it's poor unless of course they are actually good enough

You must looking for AS Monaco fan page. You could know that how upset they were about his rumor.

Not a bad player but I'd take Honda from japan in a second. Great great player

Honda? Wow that's great idea. He (the super super star) must be just only 20m according to CSKA. So cheap price. isn't it? But I think there r many better choices if we could get 20m. Am I wrong?

Surely with an apparent lack of transfer funds, we shouldn't be blowing it on no-marks or never-will-be's.

Liverpool and Aston Villa tracking South Korean striker Park Chu-Young

Would be bought solely to sell jerseys

I wonder how many AS Monaco tops were sold, in S.Korea, because he played for them? I'm guessing: not many.

I think it would be more interesting to see how many Park Man Utd jerseys got sold in Asia due to him playing with Utd. Interesting Ayre said recently signing an Asian player would help revenue there. I'd prefer to sign lads on talent alone. From what I hear the lad is nothing special

Only asian player i would sign is honda.  Tbh, i think they are too small and fragile for the prem.  Maybe in europe they can get on fine, but their history in the prem is small.  And very few can cope with the physical game of the prem.

Premier League clubs keep eye on Park Chu-young

By Yi Whan-woo

AS Monaco striker Park Chu-young is wanted by Liverpool and Bolton Wanderers, a French sports magazine reported Friday.

According to L’Equipe, the two Premier League clubs are “tracking the South Korean international’s situation,” who plans to move to England after his team was relegated from the French first division, Ligue 1, this season.

The forward has previously stated his intention to play at a club that “can advance to the European Champions League.”

Park scored 12 goals in 33 league appearances in his third season in the French league to finish as the club’s highest scorer. The 25-year-old was also ranked 12th in the Ligue 1 scoring charts.

Park has established himself as a key player for Monaco and statistics have improved since his debut in 2008. He had five goals in 31 Ligue 1 games in the 2008-09 season, and eight in 27 matches the following campaign.

While Park is under contract with the French outfit until 2013, the South Korean has drawn interest from a number of clubs, including Ligue 1 teams such as Olympique Lyonnais, who finished the season in third place.
