i like him as he runs about a lot -i like running in a player .
tevez runs about a lot too ----do you think they had too much sunny d as sprogs ?
i think park is far classier than scholes and better dribbler than giggs . in fact how they overlooked him for world player of the year mystifies me .
he looks smashing in his shorts as well
he smells nice too
in fact i think i love him .
i will kill a dog in his honour

I think you are all a bit harsh on park , he is a lot better than you lot are making out.
by the time this thread is over you will have him down as a championship player , leave the lad alone , i would not swap him for downing no way
Agree, Downing's a **** and only looks good in a very poor Boro side.

Hmmmm...easy said, atleast park gets to play for Man utd! :whistling:
Why does that mean he's a better player?

Where did i say he's a better player?? :eek:


All i said is he reminded me of Downing if he was an english player because as much as they are good, they just arent good enough but yet, park being park, he has the advantage of playing for man utd.:rolleyes:
Fair enough.

In terms of versatility yes..:p
Actually incorrect. I read somewhere that Gerrard is the best player to have played in every position for his club.

i really believe that if park was English he would be worth double his value at the moment id rate him at maybe about 5 million so if he was English id rate him at 10 million i think its almost a fact that(most) English players are over rated for me an example of this would be i believe that Vidic makes Rio look like a better player as he looks kind of shaky when playing with Evans but when Vida plays with Evans were more solid! i also think that Carvalho makes John Terry look a better player too!

so for me English Park>S.Koren Park

I'm not talking about his value, as I too believe that English players are inflated.

The point I was making is, is that if he was an English headless chicken, would he be near the team or would he been transferred (let's consider him being a youth team product)? I think a major reason why he is part of the squad is because of his marketing puposes in Asia.

(I'm not saying he's shit and deserves to get rid, because he is very consistent and is an honest player and puts in a good shift when needed)

TBH i don't think if he came through our ranks here he would have made it as i don't think he would have been good enough to come through as we don't produce that many workers IMO! but i believe say he came through boro's youth academy i think we wouldn't have went for him as i think it was on the back of psv's impressive champions league run that we bought him and we wouldn't have got to see him in that light!

i don't think he is here for his market value either though as i don't think he would be playing as much as he is he prob would have been the same as Dong if that was the case yano?Fergie loves him because hes a great player to have when its back against the wall job and were holding onto the lead(barca at home last year)

Im not sure,I honestly doubt that he would have even been know had it not been for the Asian factor.We all know of the marketing side to Park Ji and the money he helps generate.Hes a decent worker but as far as having many strengths,his only one seems to be the work rate.He can be a menace,but when he has done all the hard work to win a ball back,he has no distribution skills so it fails.

Once again this is a very harsh post he has had some great games for us , as for asian factor that was spot on for dong but not for park.
I think we got park for a good price and has proved value for money , he is a fit lad and does not get too many injuries , but more importantly he is reliable

Basically this.

Park is a wonderful player, so important to the team. People criticise him for his attacking side, but that isn't what he'a about. He's so much more, something some people do not understand.
A winger's job is to attack and create chances, particulary by crossing. Defensive work comes second.

Same with a full back. A full back's job is to defend, and to defend well. Attacking comes second.

and what?
As it stands with the players we have what do you suggest we do?
cos Nani does neither, Tosic isnt ready, Giggs plays centrally now.....

Thats why I think we miss Hargo so much. he could play right side and ronaldo on the left. problem solved.

Racism. "I was only joking", delivered in Stephen's trademark style.

I know Park is nowhere near being a top winger just like JOS will never be a top player. But we NEED them.

And surely the different path between Park and Dong at United tells a story.
