OkoreLoveChild Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Well, after many rumours it seems as though we maybe about to see our first money signing in CM Ki, according to the telegraph anyway. Just want to see what is everyones thoughts on this? Personally think he'll be great and will offer a spark in midfield! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedClaretAndBlue Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Good player, Telegraph are a decent source too. Would be nice but am sceptical Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OkoreLoveChild Posted July 13, 2014 Author Share Posted July 13, 2014 Should have a really nice midfield coming together, him and Delph could really cut through midfields Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Happy with this, bloke's a good player. Calm passer and can hold his position infront of the back 4. Against the better teams it will be him and Westwood sitting with Delph advanced I'd reckon. Be interested to see what the fee will be, you'd think it would be in the 4-5m range. Surprised Sunderland haven't tried to sign him permanently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dAVe80 Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 My mates who follow Sunderland rate him highly. I'd be surprised if we're the only ones in for him to be honest. Great signing if we can pull it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Would be over the moon with this.. refuse to get too excited though until it's confirmed! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 I watched him play quite a few times last season and I really don't think he'd play quite as deep as some people seem to be imagining. Whenever I saw him he was Sunderland's main attacking threat from midfield with Cattermole and Bridcutt being the anchor men. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LockStockVilla Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Probably will cost somewhere around 3 million I'd guess...shrewd business if confirmed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Westy is still our deepest sitting CM...if Ki came, he'd partner Delph I'd imagine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyM3000 Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 He is decent, offers something different than Delph/Westwood/KEA and will drift forward a bit more. Now we need a proper strong defensive mid to go with it. Said all along our current 3 CMs are way too similar. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heid3ster Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Would be over the moon with this.. refuse to get too excited though until it's confirmed! Yeah, I'm desperately trying not to get my hopes up about this only to see them dashed.... Would be very pleased if it turns out to be true, though. Just what we need. Good tackler, good range of passing, great in possession, good free kick taker also. DM is probably his best position but he can play a little further up and also cover at CB. The missing piece to our midfield. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 One of his obsessed Korean fans has just posted this on a Sunderland board. Probably be getting a few signing up to here. If we manage to sign him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krisagg75 Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 not that it's the main reason to sign him but it opens us up to the far east market more. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abdomlahor Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 While I would be very happy with this, we'll still lack a strong physical presence in midfield. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
