Ki is such a quality player, don't know what Laudrup was thinking

I love landrup. Fantastic player and a fantastic manager.

However, they got into a misunderstanding/conflict, therefore Ki went on loan because Landrup didnt want him anymore, but Swansea did.

You can tell its all personal because swansea are a game behind sunderland in the relegation zone and all their midfielders are injured. Yet, with poyet and company, sunderland is making a push out of the relegation. He could of recalled Ki and completely destroy their hopes of getting out, but hes not.

Well Done Sunderland

Wow I can't believe that. I was willing Sunderland to win. I was screaming when they got that goal in like the last minute of extra time. I thought that was it, they had beat Utd. Then couldn't ****** believe when it Utd scored. Then the penalties, I think they were the worst penalties I have ever seen . I really thought UTd were going to win but I was willing Sunderland to win, was so happy for Gus.

I usually "defend" that Moyes isnt doing such a horrible job because their squad is actually very bad and he cant do much with the players he has. However, I got to admit he is making it hard for me to maintain my position!

I am starting to think he is indeed as bad as people say!

nah. they will. sunderland is the team beat city this season, and the season before that, and the season before that, and the season before that

so i guess they have a chance, and it isnt slight.

WTF

Ki is such a quality player, don't know what Laudrup was thinking

This is the reason.

Ki had joined Swansea side last summer and this season he was loaned out to Sunderland for one full season.

Ki feels that he is considered to be playing an important part to get Sunderland going based on Poyet's firm support towards him.

However, Swansea is struggling unlike the last season, as they struggle to organise the team spirit as one, and due to unexpected late injuries of their first team players.

Young-Oak Ki(Ki's dad) who is in charge of Korean football association of Gwangju city.

reveals that Laudrup has mistakenly abandoned Ki for ridiculous speculations of his own.

"Many think that Laudrup is the one who sent Ki away to Sunderland, but it is definitely not the case" says Young-Oak Ki

"The contract made by both Ki and Swansea includes a clause that the player will be guaranteed to play the least 20 games as a starter which Ki himself wanted and included."

"The Chelsea game was his 20th game playing as a starter, and this is the game he resulted in heavy injury on his thigh. Ki told Laudrup that he would like to treat his injury in the Korean National Medical Centre as he precisely judged the facilities there are much better than those in the club medical centre."

"Ki added that he is convinced that the medical system would help him recover more efficiently as the national football team doctor of South Korea advised him that way."

"However, Laudrup mistakenly believed that Ki was trying to make a lame excuse after his 20th game of him being starter so as to slack off as much as he can. That inconsiderate thought of Laudrup led him to disliking Ki."

"Laudrup then approved Ki of his suggestion and let him go get treated in Korea.

And Ki believed Laudrup fully understood what he told him and took it to his heart with gratitude"

"When Ki came back, Laudrup brought in new players at his position and started ignoring him and excluding him from game to game. and this continued for a while."

"Ki realised something was wrong, and he asked Laudrup why he can't play as a regular starter. Laudrup said to Ki that he isn't trustworthy as a professional footballer and avoided Ki in any direct conversations."

"When Swansea tested out players' stamina, Ki was rated the 4th of the whole first team squad, yet Laudrup kept making excuses that he is not fully ready or Ki has to win his position by sheer competition."

"Ki outran those competitors in the training yet, Laudrup didn't give him a glance."

"The reason why Swansea didn't get Ki back was due to Laudrup's own objection toward the plan, yet the club unlike Laudrup, wants to keep Ki in a long run."

"Swansea offered an extension in Ki's contract with better clauses but Ki was obviously worried about Laudrup's dislike of him. So Ki is being cautious" - See more at: http://www.fansnetwork.co.uk/football/swanseacity/forum/100456/%E2%98%85the-truth-about-laudrup-vs-ki-revealed!%E2%98%85/#70

Wow, very petty and childish on Laudrups part. He has looked a much better player at Sunderland, good on the ball, strong, good composure, wouldn't of been bad signing for us but we just spent 20 mil on Matic. He is only young and will improve, is their any other good young Korean players to keep an eye out for?
