Ki’s remarkable transfer to Swansea

625

Best wishes to Ki Sung-Yeng who joined Swansea City today.  The Korean international joined Celtic in January 2010 but the subsequent arrival of central midfielder Beram Kayal, Joe Ledley and Victor Wanyama, curtailed his first-team opportunites.

Ki possesses excellent technique and can cover 50 yards as quickly as anyone at Celtic but he often failed to impose himself on games.  Selling a reserve player with 15 months left on his contract for a fee of around £6m is truly remarkable.  I am one of the players many admirers but I don’t know anyone who would pay anything like that money for him.

We Oscar 4 Life’ have organised a bucket collection for Dundee home game at CP on 22nd of September and require a Lorry Load of Volunteer collectors. To volunteer as a bucket collected please email us at weeoscar4life@gmail.com.

  1. Evening chaps first time on the new look CQN. Couldnt ge on at first couldnt see the logon button just loads of “tweet undef” signs all over the page. What the hell are they.

     

    Paul is this a brand new cqn or does it carry the history of all the old topics,debates and aguments??

  2. Good Luck Ki.

     

     

    If he stays injury free this season I reckon he’ll be for the off again next summer. A class act even at 23. For Swansea it’s all about staying up and raking in as much as they can while they’re up there.

     

    £6.3m with add ons seems like pretty good business to me. Hope the bhoy does really well.

     

     

    Gutted to hear Joe is out for a fortnight, might miss him at the weekend. For me he’s hugely important in this type of domestic game. With Kayal out also and Broony looking less than 100% I think Lenny has a wee bit of a midfield conundrum to get his head around in the next couple of weeks.

  3. traditionalist88 @ 19:21 – totally agree mate, massively overinflated. I think we done good business getting what we did, don’t get me wrong, but in comparison to players such as Charlie Adam, Matt Jarvis and Jordan Henderson, then Swansea have also done good business.

  4. celtic dawn,

     

     

    easy way to find out:

     

     

    Just say “Songs debate: Discuss” sit back and watch the if carnage commences…then you’ll know for definite if it carries the old history or not

  5. Was thinking about wee oscar,I was part of an industrial action that lasted 9 weeks some 16 years ago.

  7. Was just thinking (iknow) of the Lance Armstrong situation and stripping titles.

     

    Well think billy liar liar pants Dodds on fire Mccann hateye etc etc and their pathetic WE DIDNAE KNOW ANYTHIN so ye canny take the titles defence (spun daily by the dying MSM)

     

    Replace said ex benificiaries of CHEATING (alledgedly) :)) with

     

    Team Armstrong members

     

    Puncture repair man. water bottle filler and person the drives behind them shouting :))

     

    etc etc.

     

    Soooooooo according to Dodds and his ilk Armstrong must keep titles because some members of the team did not know what was going on.

    As far as next week is concerned, I reckon that keeping Kelvin Wilson in defence and playing Charlie in midfield may be the way to go – but what to do about Victor Wanyama?

  9. Thanks token

     

    But are we legally allowed to continue with debats from the old CQN. Do we have a licence that allows us to

  14. I think Swansea or as it is better known in the valleys, Abertawe, is a great wee city. I don’t know if it’s still there but there was a pub on the Kingsway called ‘The Hanbury’. I was voted, by the girls I hasten to add, as having the best ‘rear’ in the bar.

     

     

    I had of course prepared and had bathed that evening in shrink to fit tight green hipsters with a modest 21″ flare, a green and white Cheese cloth slim fit eye catching figure hugging shirt, all set off by a magic pair of 6inch heeled 2 inch sole layered platforms.

     

     

    Mind you after a few pints I couldn’t move without help!

     

     

    Swansea has within easy reach, Caswell Bay, Langland Bay, Oxwich, Port Eynon and best of all the Mumbles where all sorts of delights are to be found, especially in a pub that I occasionally frequented called ‘The Oyster Catcher’.

     

     

    Ah memories……..

     

     

    Written on a beer mat in The Oyster Catcher pub in Swansea and sent to a Vision of Beauty (that is a ten pints of lager Vision of Beauty) at a table opposite. Her whole conversation consisted of ‘moan, moan, moan’.

     

     

    In a bar where conversation is framed by smoky coughs,

     

    Where phlegm racked laughs and beery spit fill up the urine troughs,

     

    Where violence sits on every tongue and the blokes are rutting stags,

     

    Twas there I fell in love with the Queen of whines and nags.

     

     

    She lulled me with her B&H, twas a worldly fag indeed,

     

    She hooked me with her pints of stout, no quarter to her breed,

     

    She filled my mind with earthy scenes, she grabbed me by the stones,

     

    What more could man ask of a mate, with itchy erogenous zones!

    Just thinking about our injury record – would be interesting to see how many weeks we ‘lose’ our first team squad each season

     

     

    Some of the tackling (using that term in its loosest sense maybe ‘physical interventions’ is a more accurate description) in the SPL in general is outrageous – our players are very vulnerable due to blatant mibbery –

     

     

    Wonder how the oul’ currants fare in that league -top or bottom ? either way we would be at the opposite end!

     

     

    The evidence is out there – from penalties awarded or not awarded to fouls and bookings and red cards…

     

    Disrupting flow of the game and breaking up momentum

     

     

    Then there is the stuff that gets blanked by MSM

     

     

    3 red cards and 3 penalties at DU anyone?

     

     

    HH

  18. Charlie, Vic, Broony, Kris, Paddy and wee James would appear to be the options for midfield.

     

    Not as bad as I feared on hearing about Joe & Beram’s injuries.

     

     

    I’d definately have Charlie moved to midfield and play big Wilson in defence if he’s fit.

    Good luck to Ki

     

    I think Swansea will suit the bhoy to a tee .Saw vids of Ki when he signed for us and he seemed to like dropping deep and dictating play (barry fergusen with a forward pass if you like )

     

    Think the swansea fans will warm to him .

     

    best of luck to the bhoy in his new club

  21. Bundoran Bhoy,

     

     

    thats my plan yes, however I discovered yesterday/today that I will almost certainly have to go back out to SE Asia again sometime mid-end September and thats why ive not made a committment to the bucket collection for Oscar.

     

     

    I’ll pay my ticket money for the quiz night regardless though. Really hope to make it.

     

     

    I’ll get those badges yet!!

    It ranged if you remember over two journeys to Milan, Swansea, Chester, a fruitless search around the Italian emporia in Glasgow, drawing a blank on the net and a plea on CQN all accompanied by a million excuses until Celtic done me a big favour and drew Milan again in the CL.

     

     

    No 2 Daughter was starting to doubt my reasons regarding the whereabouts of he Milan cat-walk present. She thought I might be making excuses and that I had probably left them on the plane…….as if!

  26. Just seen the video footage of PAOK/Rapid Vienna prior to ko last night. Crazy scenes, not seen stuff like that inside a stadium for a long time.

     

     

    Those muppets from Vienna had apparently been causing bother before the game. PAOK fans had enough and retaliated. I would not have liked to be wearing green coming out of that ground at FT

  27. Anyone listen to the Radio 3rd division phone in?

     

     

    1 hour of what all the teams in the third division are doing, erm sorry what one team in the division is doing and how privileged everyone should feel to be playing them. Anyone know how much a skinny red carpet is these days?
