Yang Hyun Jun

There isn't a youngster I've seen that's anywhere near what the likes of Mikey Johnston was producing at that level. Even when he broke on to the scene for a short bit in the first team...and yet he was ultimately nowhere near good enough in the end..

Doak was the one that would've been a first teamer here easy but we blinked and he was already long gone..

 

I guess we don't have an average youngster with a good work ethic then

 

Plan for a guy like Yang...young guy coming to Europe for the first time from a vastly different culture...would be to settle him in the first year and get him used to the demands.

From there you're looking to build his confidence, make him 'feel' like he belongs and is good enough to hit the level required, hopefully contributing his bit along the way.

3rd season you'd be then looking for a breakthrough, getting good numbers and being a solid part of the squad.

For me he's hitting every target so far to this point. It's called player development for those who don't know. Of course on occasion it can happen that a player just clicks straight away and smashes through his targets rapidly, but to 'expect' it from a young guy from South Korea is just laughable.

Talking about his numbers is utterly pointless up till this point, the heighty of stupidity. It's from this season onwards he should be properly judged.

 

The above is nothing more than making excuses for a guy who's shown that he isn't good enough for us. Funny how players who were good enough, from further away, didn't require this bullshit two seasons worth of settling you're trying to afford Yang.

Talking about his contribution over two seasons isn't stupidity, it's reality. He's been an absolutely * signing and we should cut our losses.

 

Whilst I agree that's often the case, we're absolutely crying out for wingers at the moment. There is space for one right now even with Yang there. Clearly there is noone close to being ready

 

If we've to wait 3 seasons for him to be a solid squad player then I'd rather not bother. Sign the guys from a different culture that are first team ready & don't need 3 seasons to get up to speed. i.e Kyogo, Maeda, Hatate. It's season 3 & he's still a bang average winger, we've not developed some superstar.
