The only real issue with Son is that he is like the wind. You experience tail wind as often as head wind. Tail wind is great, head wind is frustrating.

Can't see how people can be so critical of him. He was brilliant the whole of last season, can't remember many off games - and got 14 goals and 9 assists in the league in only two-thirds of the playing time of Eriksen and Alli.

His playing time has been limited so far this season but I'd say he's been as (or more) effective than Eriksen and Alli.

Does Son have to do military service at any point?


"South Korean men are required to complete at least 21 months of military service before they turn 28, meaning Son can play abroad until July 2019, although there have been examples of delays and exemptions being granted.

Current conscription laws stipulate that athletes and sportsmen who win medals in the Olympic Games or gold medals in the Asian Games are handed exemptions but are still required to do four weeks of basic training.

Son, however, was part of the South Korean football team that suffered a heartbreaking quarter-final defeat to Honduras at Rio 2016 and missed out on a medal.

That means the last chance for Son to earn a guaranteed exemption is to help South Korea win the 2018 Asian Games. The tournament runs from August 18 to September 2, meaning he would miss the move into Tottenham’s new stadium at the start of the 2018/19 season."

"
Should Son be called to fulfil his military service, it is highly unlikely he would be a ‘soldier’ with most professional footballers instead playing for the military team.

Such is the sensitivity of the issue in South Korea that Son will not answer questions about military service and it is hard to get information from his home country where the laws regarding conscription constantly change.

It means that while Spurs are well aware of the rules, the club are largely in the dark over whether or not the military service is likely to be completed while he is their player."

SONALDO!!! Please say this hasn't been said before on here? :oops:

needs to bulk up and get stronger. gets muscleout way too easily which affects his first touch.

Watching him yesterday he has definitely put on some muscle since he joined seems his physique is becoming more like Kane's.

I saw someone wearing a number 7 shirt with Sonaldo on the back earlier in the season, think after Palace or Bournemouth.

I wanted to punch them.
