Topic: Park Ji-Sung and our right wing.

Kuyt would be a fantastic squad player.

As is Park

[Livid]

They don't appreciate him in the slightest, in fact every manc I've talked to has said they want him off the team.  Mr. F will probably buy another 20 million dollar winger from Brazil and ship him out for cheap though, and when he does he'd chop of his own little Mr. F before selling to us.

That's not true, he's very much appreciated and was widely considered man of the match for his performance against Barca at home last season. I don't think he was brought in to do the job he now does for us, he was a great attacking winger for PSV but he's had some injuries that have taken a yard of pace from him.
He's still a a good footballer with a great engine (hence the Three-Lung Park moniker) but his main downfall is lack of composure in front of goal. It's especially infuriating since he manages to get into fantastic shooting positions before usually whacking the ball straight at the keeper.
One thing's for sure - he wasn't a merchandising buy, that was Dong Fangzhou who was an incredibly shit footballer and a cult hero.

Great post.

I've watched Park Ji sung lately and he's proved to me he is a class act and the poster is right it's no fluke or down to injuries that he plays th big games, he's as important to Fergie as Ronaldo or Vidic make no mistake about it.  He'll start against us.

C'mon Barcodes make our week!!

Aah, I forgot about Dong.I thought it was Manucho

Livid, if you had Dirk Kuyt in your squad, where do you think he would fit in?

Manucho was bought for two goats and a novelty Sony Walkman. Fuck knows why.

Kuyt would be fourth choice striker after Rooney, Berbatov and Tevez.
That'd mean Welbeck would now be out on loan rather than getting a chance with the first team.
I'd rather we blood a promising youngster and have just three proven strikers.

He wouldn't play on the wing since we've got that pretty well covered with Ronaldo, Park, Giggs and Nani.

Which is why we need a proper attacking right back supporting Kuyt in attack, imagine having Alves type rightback over-lapping Kuyt, allowing him to drift into more central positions? It would be a joy to watch IMO, and it's high-lights why signing a top quality attacking rightback is as important or more than signing a top quality right winger ... also imagine Gerrard or Yossi on the right but supported by a top quality attacking rightback ...

So whay exactly is the point of Kuyt (against the "lesser" sides who are happy to put ten men behind the ball). Why have him in the team? I would say we should just get a good right- sided player.

Besides the big four sides are aiming to have attacking full backs as well as attacking wingers

Dirk Kuyt has punched his weight in the big games no doubt about it. As for Park Ji Sung, Utd got lucky there if he wasn't from the far east I doubt they'd have signed him.

Credit where its due, I think Ferguson bought park for the hard working player he is. If shirt sales were that important to them they would have held onto that ponce Beckham.
