They have already pretty much said they will. Nice! Why would Thai customers be at all interested in Leicester playing someone from Korea? It is whether the player is a known name or not that will help sell 'the brand'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Japanese-born Jong, 27, is currently on the books of German 2.Bundesliga outfit VfL Bochum, who fell narrowly short of promotion during the 2010-11 season. When asked by Goal.com Asia if the English side were interested, Jong replied: "I heard an offer was made." The forward did not wish to discuss whether or not he was interested in a move to England, but it is thought that he will leave Bochum this summer. According to Nikkan Sports, the Foxes have submitted an offer of approximately €750,000 (£665,000) to Bochum for Jong's services and are now awaiting the German club's response. Jong, who trialled with Blackburn Rovers in early 2010, scored 10 goals for Bochum during the 2010-11 campaign. Eriksson is familiar with Jong after he coached Cote d'Ivoire against North Korea at the 2010 World Cup. The Foxes, who have Thai owners, currently have another Japanese-born player on their books in Samurai Blue midfielder Yuki Abe. Jong is currently back in Japan having undergone surgery on his right knee earlier this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sphericalfox Posted 22 June 2011 Share Posted 22 June 2011 Not exactly sure what that gives info-wise other than he would like to play for the Prem. And having Abe in the team is a strength. Never heard the Walkers called 'lavish' before though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ttfn Posted 22 June 2011 Share Posted 22 June 2011 Spoke to the German lad (Bochum fan) from work. Said he hadn't been since December as he's been working here (figures) but that he liked the look of him when he saw him. Said he'd be disappointed if they sold for less than 1.5 million euros. From a personal perspective, whenever I saw North Korea at the World Cup, I thought he was excellent, particularly against Brazil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bettsj2 Posted 22 June 2011 Share Posted 22 June 2011 Why do we need to be big in Asia? I'm pretty sure those who went up this year, (QPR, Norwich and Swansea) aren't. Our owners are asian retailers. The bigger we are in asia, the more shirts they can sell in asia, the more sponsorship at the ground they can get for when they air our games on asian tv thus giving us more money for transfers, stadium improvements etc etc. Basically the asian market could fund us for the next 10 years.

MGLCFC Posted 22 June 2011 Share Posted 22 June 2011 Why do we need to big in Asia? The Empire is over, we no longer dominate the world, we are a relatively small player globally. The world is now flat - a level playing field. China, India and the South East asian countries are the thriving economies - this is where there is real money. This is why we need to be big in Asia.

Zed Posted 22 June 2011 Share Posted 22 June 2011 Yak not signed, and I don't think this going to happen now. Bristol want to much for Maynard. CMS looks like he's going Prem! etc etc. This lad is worth a gamble. And if it don't pay off, the owners will sort of be happy, as the club with probably get their money back in other ways from Asia.

Lineker's Left Foot Posted 22 June 2011 Share Posted 22 June 2011 Yep would really want him here and isn't a proven 'has been'. He has passion (or PASHUN!), something to prove, that element of surprise about him and skill - he really could frighten a few.... and I think he wants to come here (?). I'd say 'roll out the red carpet' and welcome him here. Yakubu... who??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clazie Posted 22 June 2011 Share Posted 22 June 2011 Yakubu... who??? He was on loan with us for part of last season, plays for Everton currently, he's a demon in the air.
