I think Son is a more established player than Lamela was when we signed him. Son has done the business in Germany for the last three seasons so he's not only got proven ability (which Lamela had) but also proven consistency.
Even if Son doesn't score a lot for us I reckon he'll provide plenty of assists.
Not meaning to make a big thing about this but it's kind of insulting to imply that I've made up 4 years of my life (which you repeated with your 'doth protest' comment).
It was strangely on-topic too. I knew her sister, met her Korean dad, and spent time in 'little Korea' in New York so probably gained a much better understanding of Korean mentalities than most posters on this site (although @roosh is probably a good person to speak to as he lives/lived there).
Not wishing to reduce something as complex as the human psyche to broad nationalistic traits, but there was a general shared attitude of positivity, energy, and a strong work ethic - along with a touch of humility. If any of those traits apply to Son (and I believe they do) we'll have a great addition to the squad.
I dated a kenyan lady, boy could she drink was crazy to boot!
Cool!!
Although I now understand how/why this deal was completed so quickly from Levy's end
I had to do a double take on that message! Thank god for commas, eh?
well, he got a lot of mileage out of "unbelievable" there, so clearly he's ready for the post match interviews already....
but seriously, I hope he can settle on and off the pitch. never seen him play a match before, but it appears in the little youtube bits he tends to play (score) from that AM position playing behind the striker...
Kane scored and excelled in the "hole" behind the striker, so I thought Spurs were looking for a player who could play up top to allow Kane to play in his natural, favoured, more successful position... guess not?
I hope "Sonny" fits right in and is a success at Spurs. But, 22 mil is a lot to pay for a player who no one seems to know and hasn't scored that much as a striker... 1 goal every 3ish games over his career and consistent there at every level played. hard to get too excited about him yet for me,.... but I WANT to be
Were you unaware Kane was a goalkeeper?

Without wishing to cause any concern my understanding is that the new work permit rules restrict the non EC players eligible to players representing countries in the FIFA top 50 . Aren't South Korea outside that top 50 ( Cameroon are inside it ) ? Hope that won't be an issue ..... Maybe someone already covered this earlier in the thread ?
There's an "exceptions panel" and I'm sure Son's performances in Germany can be considered exceptional, so don't imagine it will be an issue.[/QUOTE)
That's good to know but it doesn't seem like it's just a formality ?
