Park Ji Sung

[Unam333]

Why?

Let go of a CM when we're already thin in the area? Where and how often do you see Park featuring this year?

Yes, letting go a CM who's injured prone, involved in car accidents, wished to leave the club in the past and showed little improvement in the last few years.

We don't know what will happen next season, it's possible Cleverley will continue being injury prone, Kagawa having an absolute stinker in his first season, Powell's too inexperienced and us signing a new midfielder is far from certain. Park's a versatile and good player, we can need his experience, maybe even help Kagawa adapt to his new environment.

 

[Theon]

£5million is a great deal for both parties. He could probably do better than QPR but if he goes there he'll be a senior member of the team and will be guaranteed starts, so it could be a good both for him. Plus with their recent spending they'll have no issue paying him a good wage.

He needs to leave really, there isn't much use for him in this team anymore, especially if we sign another centre mid. Frees up a squad place as well.

Involved in car accidents

Anyways, if we dont get a CM in, it'd be stupid to let go of one even if he's injury prone.

Regarding Park, judging from what you're writing, you see him as a CM option, dont you?

So, do you rate Ando?

 

[davisjw]

I'd be crushed to see Park go and to play against us. Five mil is a good piece of business and I think he's worth it. He still has a solid three years left and his experience at United is worth another two mil in training.

Long may he drink frog juice!

 

[Amir]

If we need to clear spot in the squad, it's logical to let Park go. His energy was always a big part of his game and he may be losing it now with age. He's no more than fourth choice on the wing - way behind the other three - and I just don't want to see him in our midfield. He was a very good player for us and can still be a good squad player, but that'll be way down the pecking order.

 

[Red Dreams]

Park will be a make weight in one of teh transfers I think. I hope Anderson makes it here. I do rate him. he has had bad luck with injuries and he was a bit silly when he went home. But we did improve his contract and extend it..so Fergie must rate him. i would be surprised if he did go.

 

[Ole's_toe_poke]

5 million would be a ridiculously good deal. He's coming off his worst season for us and looks to have lost one of his 5 lungs.

 

[Beachryan]

Cannot be true. United never get good money when we sell.

£5m for Park after that season?! Highway robbery.

 

[prateik]

We got 1m for Brown. 5m does seem a bit high. But then its QPR. They are paying Barton 80k

Because Koreans and Japenese are the same? FFS

Go to Korea, call them Japanese. See how well that works out for you

 

[Sparky_Hughes]

And 5 million is probably an apology for fecking us over when they found out they were safe.

First time i've heard this as a reason for selling someone. You'd swear he was a menace to society, regularly involved in high speed chases around Manchester in Grand Theft Auto style leaving a trail of destruction wiping out everything in his path.

5m would be way higher than I expected as its pretty much what we paid for him. Hes been fantastic for us. What a great important player hes been for us and has never let us down. Last season was a bit unfair to him especially being thrown into the City match after 4 months of no action. But tbh, he didnt let us down with regards to his defensive duties.

We will always have the song...

 

[SharkyMcShark]

Why are we acting like he's already gone?

 

[Bebe]

I'd be sad to see him go, regardless of price. Great player for the club, great attitude. I'll never forget him completely nullifying Pirlo in the CL.

Why are we acting like he's already gone?

No idea, did this seriously start with a guy posting on a forum? Solid source then.

I never said they are the same? You didn't know that Park can speak Japanese fluently?

Did you see any of his games last season?

Been a great servant for us but the thing that made him great, his energy levels, has started to dip, only natural given his age. Time for him to move on.

 

[Varun]

Asked you a question Unam. You see Park as a midfield option? Thats why you'd rather have him than ando?

 

[DevilsQueen]

don't leave me, Ji.

I agree, tbh 5 mil is more than we paid for him if I remember. It it is true then I think it's the best option for all parties, as you said he could do better but at the same time he probably wouldn't be as key a player in other teams.

 

[Unam333]

Asked you a question Unam. You see Park as a midfield option? Thats why you'd rather have him than ando?

Yes. I'm not writing off a player who served us well down the years after one season.

 

[Varun]

Yes. I'm not writing off a player who served us well down the years after one season.

He's never served us a CM though has he? He almost always played out wide but now we have several options much better than him. Its not about writing him off. He isnt a CM, he cant play the position. It'd be insane to let go of a young natural CM and then hold onto an ageing winger to play him at CM.

 

[RDCR07]

I rather see Anderson leave than Park to be honest, but that's me.

Thats just stupidity. Do you hate him that much?

 

[Ash_G]

Yes. I'm not writing off a player who served us well down the years after one season.

Park just isn't needed anymore. Out wide all of our attackers ate nature enough now that they can offer a consistent attacking output as well as reliable cover defensively. And that's not even taking into account parks clearly reduced stamina and strength levels. Added to that in welbeck and kagawa we have two other options who simply offer more from wide areas.

In the middle he's clearly not a centre mid, not for Manchester united. At some clubs he might do a job, particularly with the right partner and in a more advanced role with cover he'd probably be decent but again not at united.

Every player had their time. I thought parks came last season and it definitely has now in my opinion.

 

[Maciej]

Last season he started nineteen games - eight of them in central midfielfd. His partners were:

Giggs (Pogba) vs Leeds, won
Cleverley (Pogba) vs Aldershot, won
Fletcher vs Sunderland, won
Gibson vs Palace, lost
Giggs & Jones vs Basel, lost
Rafael vs Blackburn, lost
Cleverley (Scholes) vs Ajax, lost
Carrick (Pogba) vs Athletic, lost

 

[SharkyMcShark]

He started CM against City (Giggs was wide left) with Scholes and Carrick

 

[Adam-Utd]

Cant say i would be suprised if he did leave this summer, i dont really think he has what it takes at the very highest level anymore.

But he will forever be remembered as a fan favourite, and will never be forgotten.

I think for his own career it would be a good move too, all he will do is sit on the bench and be a back up player for cup games etc.. he is better than that.

Hope it all works out for our park.

and he was shit! Started CM against Palace too... Guess what shit in that game too...

Either way done a great service for United but think he needs to move on now. No time for sentiments.

Well then I should never hear you complaining when a player wants to leave either. No time for sentiments right?

It seems the pre-season poster has changed today, from this morning:

Spot the difference?

When did we sign Shay Given?

Hernandez looks like an albino lesbian vampire

Park is on the first image twice and the 2nd image once?
