Is Gyan definitely out for the derby then?

Just wondering. I'm not here on a wind up.

As a bit of comfort for you losing your striker, we'll most likely not have a LB for the derby

 

you havnt got any strikers either have you <<thats not a wink smilie.

as for the question, not heard anything, but then i havnt really been looking to see, so maybe someone else knows.

 

Don't laugh you fat ****!!! lol

We don't have any great strikers, but there's one bloke that loves scoring against you... he who must not be named...

 

I've heard very little coming from the club regarding Gyan, so I couldn't tell you..

 

where did you get this news from?

as for ssshhhhhhh yep he'll probably get one.

 

I've heard O'Shea is out, or will he be available?

 

I'm pretty sure that O'Shea will not start this game..

 

I know but I'm not gonna tell you!

 

You may be Alan Parsnip in disguise.

 

Not too bothered if he is, gives Ji a chance to shine

 

he will be playing, you might even get to see his dance a couple a times

 

I think we'd have heard if he was a major doubt.

I'd be comfortable starting with Ji to be honest, looked well up to it in his fleeting show against Liverpool, who are, of course a much stronger side, away from home.

Atmosphere shouldn't faze him, the Korean fans are insane, just scream the place down for 90 mins!

 

this will be the day conner comes of age you forget what we have

 

I'd be worried. Dong-Won is fresh in the UK and the sheer atmosphere and noise in his first ever derby match will hit him like a sack of ****e, especially when he's barely only ever played 30 minutes in the Premier League.

It wouldn't be so bad if he was a more in-field player like a defender or midfielder, but all of the eyes will be on him to bag the all important goals and lead the attack line. It's an awful lot of pressure to put on a new 20 year old's shoulders.

 

im sure ji wont be starting but i dont think it would effect him that much to be honest, no more then it will effect your new players!! he clearly isnt short on confidence to go half way around the world to play in the prem at 20yr old and he doesnt even speak the language yet... the kids got the minerals

 

We know what you mean about not having a LB Heavy

 

Are you sure he doesnt speak the language, maybe not proficently, but he was with Reading for 2 years, so he must have picked up a bit whilst there.

 

well thats what was said on a couple of his interviews, he is having two hour lessons three times a wk!!

 

I don't agree Chappaz.

He's played in front of crowds well over 7ok for the national side, and excelled.

He looked superb in pre-season, and then looked every inch a Premier League player in his Liverpool cameo.

I repeat, personally, i'd have no worries if he started, hopefully you're back line underestimates the lad as well

 

This + The south Koreans know how to make plenty of noise in their national games so I dont think the lad will be out of his depth at all. I would also be happy if Wickham got a game he has done Curly Colo up like a kipper before so he knows he can get the better of him.
