He does have a point about jumping in the deep end, but at the same time Black and Bruce have done well with young talent at the club so I think he is in good hands personally.

Not an unreasonable arguement to be honest

watched him yesterday on justin.tv playing for korea u22s and he looked better on the left when he started but as soon as it went to 3-2 on aggregate with jordan..ji dong won went up front but he didnt get much service as generally i thought korea u22s were very very poor and didnt really get a good chance to see what his real strenghths are...hopefully he will be over for a medical shortly before heading back to korea for work permit

All fair enough points from the players point of view. But I'm sure he considered all these things before making his decision.

From the club's point of view it's a low risk, potentially high gain scenario. And the recent record we have with using, developing and seeing young players improve here is pretty good.

It say there's gonna be stiff opposition for Dong...was that a double entendre..?

Load of shite. Just because others failed when they came straight here he reckons nobody will ever succeeed?

If he is good enough, and believes in himself, he can succeed.

If you live your life off what others done then you need shooting. He could have took the easier route but fair play to the lad wanting to just go for it and prove he is good enough on the best stage in the world.

Sorry if SEB, but am I right in saying that his surname is Ji ? On that basis, he will surely have the shortest ever name on the back of his shirt of any SAFC player (and joint with Jo I suppose, thinking of other clubs). Any single letter named players out there?

Nah mate, he has Dong-won on the back of his shirt.
