Mariners Squad - 2019-2020

McGing. Come on we’ve got enough average players already. You guys have very short memories. No more wage thiefs and training cones for the squad thanks

Both players have solid pedigree in K-League 1 and 2 plus ACL experience.

Kim Eun-Sun has 100 K-League 1 appearances, 55 K-League 2 appearances, 10 ACL appearances. 31 years old. Could potentially be good

Lee has 159 K-League 1 appearances and 29 ACL appearances. Attacking mid which is a position we've needed to fill for a while. Played 143 games for Suwon, 60 for FC Seoul. 32 years old so has a couple of good years to give (if signed)

K-League is a pretty decent standard and Suwon are a big club so looking good.

Thanks Josho.
K League is absolutely a good quality. Better than HAL that's for sure.
Koreans are usually well drilled, disciplined and fit AF.

Transfermarkt links for each player. All the stats are there for anyone interested. I don't want to get too excited early but Lee looks more than good enough to play really well in this league.

This is encouraging indeed

DM & AM, both appear to have been suspended in Korea due to drink driving offences but hopefully that can be our gain as they work towards getting back in to the K league. Could be two smart signings.

Hi everyone, just to confirm for you that we have two Korean players on trial who started today. We have been in discussions with these players for quite sometime now. We will provide more updates through the week, they have brought their own translator to help them while they are here. For those very keen to know who it is Kim Eun-Sun and Lee Sang-ho.

God damn Shaun, you are absolutely killing it with these updates.
Thank you! These are the little things that help ease anxiety for some fans.

Wonder if Kale Morrow could dig up any stats and visualise for us. Big ask but hey.

Is Stringers available to drive them around?

So that's a chauffeur with them, who happens to speak English then.

Has there been an analyst that has been hired?

 

[Josho Howe]

Turns out BOTH of the Korean trialists have been done for drink driving.

Didnt ruin Tony Adams career.

 

[sydmariner]

didn't paul ogrady get done for dui

Yeah I think so.

 

[Josho Howe]

Didnt ruin Tony Adams career.

I remember watching a doco on him where he said he played drunk on a number of occasions.

McGing was decent, but I still don't think he's a fullback anywhere. He's a defensive winger, if there is such a thing....

I like this recruitment tactic.

Bound to be technically at the level of the better players in the HAL. Typically have high concentration, great work ethic and fitness. Good team players and renowned for accepting authority (well usually) - but I mean as in culturally they’re very unlikely to undermine a coach or start chucking wobblies if we lose a few games, do a boot camp, or extra training that conflicts with time to play FIFA.

As someone who's been done DUI, 2 schooners of New in about 90 mins will get you done there.
I dunno what the drinking culture is like in Korea but their limit is 0.05. However Im sure its not the same as anyone who frequents the pub at Jesmond.

Edit: That's legit 2. Not a 'waiting for a mate' 2.
