I can't stand the guy. Why not pick a bloody club then instead of briefing the press about how 26 clubs want you, when one of them is probably salford. One of the most irritating, symbolically disturbing footballers of modern times.

Here right now and heading for some tonight. Look forward to seeing Jesse in and around Gangnam.
I was there a few weeks ago.

Apart from Tokyo, i can’t think of many funnier places to stumble around shitfaced in. You’ll have to proper feck up in order to get in trouble.

I usually want to be in control of the bbq, so it’s always funny to end up at places where they insist on doing it. An elderly korean woman had a proper go at me for salting the beef while it was on the grill, she was running around the place sorting out the grills for a large number of people, just constantly moving between tables and sorting stuff out.

Lingard will absolute love the attention he’ll get over there.

He'll look back in a few years and be horrified he wasted a year in such a limited mileage career.

Hopefully Rashy is wise enough to look at Lingard and Pogba and take a different path while he still can

Seoul sounds like an interesting move. Cool city, different culture, not what I'd expected from Ol Jlingz fair play.

Yeah - to be honest, it's a fecking disgrace that this pretender was allowed to steal a living at our club as long as he did. 1/100th the talent of his ego.

Could've joined west ham but he choose that one year contract with Forest, not very smart in retrospective. Can only blame himself it's been long since he was a solid player, his childish attitude ultimately cost him. We should had got rid of him earlier I'm convinced he had a negative impact on Rashford and surely on other youngsters.

Welcome to Manchester reception committee
I never had the downer on him that a lot of people on here did.

The player before the World Cup in Russia was different to the one after. His edge had gone - injury, psychology - who knows. He was just that bit slower into the 50:50 battles, that bit less adept at finding the exact place where an opponent didn't want him to be.

I was pleased when he found his feet again at West Ham. I hope he enjoys South Korea and that they see some of the player again.

And if him and Seoul have a bit of fun on tik-tok as a result. Eh, why not.

I asked my brother about the reaction to this in Korea and he said two things. He teaches English over there and says a lot of his students are now excited to go to Seoul games just to see him as it's big news over there.

He also said that he's getting some online hate from some Koreans because he looked too disinterested in his press conference.

I'm gonna hazard a guess that this move won't go well and he'll be a free agent again by the end of the year.

Won't let me change thread title for some reason.

Wonder if this has to do with a commercial element alongside football.

First of all that more and more english players moving abroad (especially to South Korea) is very positive.

But my feeling about this move is........well i don't think he will stay longer there than 5-6 months.

Jesse is a tool and it pains me that he's made millions for being a tool who is decent at football.

If he'd come through the youth ranks at Preston or somewhere we'd barely have heard of him.

Glad he didn't get a PL club as for some reason he'd have still been spoken about for the next couple of years.

Manchester Utd never lose, just run out of time

That's harsh.

While it's easy to say he shouldn't have been a starter for us, the reality is that he outperformed our other options for the majority of his time here. So we'd have been even worse off it we'd sold him early. It was only in his last couple of years where it obviously all fell apart and he was dreadful.

Probably JLingz driven, as in a commercial decision.

I think it makes sense from that perspective too.

As for the footballing side of things, I'm not sure how much it matters to him how that goes at this point.
