Korea

Korea 734

LOL @ magic Lamps..

Anyways, Koreans these days are rather tall. If you look at the avg heights of the world, Korea is like 174ish, while Germany is like 178 and I think Uk is around 175. I'm pretty sure if you took the Korean national team vs Germany or England, the height differential would not be significant.

I went back to Korea a few years back and boy I was shocked...The high school kids and young adults were mostly 180ish. Granted the older generation are not that tall, however, the new generation of children that Korea is producing are all tall (mostly). In Korea they stress this idea of well being and being healthy. So, everyone in Korea eats well, exercises well, etc.

Also, with being thin, footballers should weigh little. Unless you play CB or Drogba type CF.

All Koreans I know are rather small. However eating healthy and exercising is not related to height. I'd rather ascribe that to Korea being so international and Europeans and Americans have assimilated into their population so that they have a higher genetic growth potential. For instance, North Korea which i probably do not have to tell u is isolated has 6cm lower average height even though they were the exact same ethnic group.

Footballers are extremely small recently,cos all want to emulate the Spanish generation of midgets and their success, which is IMO only a temporary fashion. In the Mourinho Era we had one of the best teams ever and had big+strong players like Terry, Lamps, Ess, Drogba, Gallas in the centre. Also city have prevalently big players, that is why our midgets are so uneffective against them. IMO people playing in the centre of the pitch as CB, CMs and CFs, in order to win the tackling sin the middle u have to be at least one, better two of fast strong and technically precise.

We don't need him, we already have Patrick Bamford, Romelu Lukaku...

He's a completely different type than those two. He's the one that comes from a deeper position, in our system probably one of the 3 offensive midfielders of the 4-2-3-1. Son can certainly be compared with Marko Marin although I rate him higher, because he seems more mobile (is it the right term?), also has a magnificant shot and he's even younger than the German. For an adequate price, he'd be a good buy I think although he might need some time, you have to remember he's just 20.

The Future of Korea is in Barcelona right now......

I meant the near future mate. But i agree, just like most kids in la masia they look like freak of natures! ive seen videos of them and couldnt believe 12 year olds could play like that.

Don't really care either way, he looks like a good young player, but we don't exactly need more young attacking midfielders...I think Hamburger's HSV acronym is the most unfortunate in sports.

He's more of a striker. What's wrong with HSV btw. because it is so close to HIV or what?

Heung-Min Son reportedly very close to sign a new three- or four-year deal at HSV. Only details of his buy-out clause have to be discussed.

Best option for him tbh.
