It's easy to be cynical because of his nationality and the tourist ticket boost but he looks a decent player. Admittedly I googled him but he's meant to be the next big thing out of Sourh Korea.

Imagine we sign him and Kim Min-Jae from Napoli, to put alongside Sonny. There'll be as many South Koreans in the crowd than locals.

Like this kid, unlike Gil he has power, including in his shooting

Son was looking for him a lot in Qatar, but it’s really Kim we need first!

Good left peg on him have been doing a bit of scouting on him the last few months. Has a fiery side to his game when tested.

Would be an astute move, could be the next big thing. I do still think Gil deserves a chance to prove himself too though.

None of these player rumors are believable when we lack a manager and DOF.

The recruitment team will still be looking at players though. I thought that was the point of setting up the new department. So it could operate whatever the conditions at the club.

Sure - but none of these rumors have any merit at this stage. Kind of silly even posting them.

We are "looking to sign" anyone at this stage - so any article that touts that, is almost certainly made up.

Agreed it's probably the scouting department doing their jobs and looking at players for positions we need to fill so they can give a good amount of info to any incoming DoF and Manager. Still interesting to know what players we might be looking at though.

I think it's very possible that our scouting/recruitment team could be specifically targeting certain players even in the absence of a manager and DoF. The 3 guys that Paratici hired to work below him (Steinsson and the other 2 I forget) are essentially doing the work of a DoF in his absence I assume and looking at players.

I suppose we won't specifically be "looking to sign them" until the manager gives a green light, but I'm sure we've done this in the past with players like Bergwijn who was obviously scouted and considered a potential target long before Jose turned up at the club.

Replace the phrase "looking to sign" with "has a strong interest in" and I think the article could be accurate.
