He looks like a tough b*stard.

First of all he's got a winning mentality and is a dilligent hard-worker (typically Korean trait). Very disciplined, not as clumsy, faster, more mobile, has more tactical intelligence and fights for the ball at any cost (while I have seen Maguire giving it up many times). He's not as good at build up play as Martinez but as good as Varane if not better. If he joins I can see him becoming a starter faster than most of you think as he is a type of player Erik would love to have. Also can play on both sides of the center half but tbf that is a trait of Maguire too (even if it doesn't really matter much).
He looks good and faster than Maguire but I would hate it if we sign another defender without fixing the mess we have in goal.
Yeah it would be great if people stopped comparing him to Maguire. Thanks
Exactly. I want Kim here, but it doesn't matter who is CB when they have to spend the entire game babysitting the GK instead of pushing the line higher up the pitch.
Kim Min Jae is everything Maguire thinks he is.
Reality is a cruel mistress.

He’s more similar to Jaap Stam than Maguire

Wherever he may be
He eats…
no let’s not do that one anymore

First of many Kims hopefully
Yes to all the above and in my opinion Top 10 Cbs in the world with ; Stones, Dias, Rudiger, D Alaba, VVD, R Varane,W Saliba, Tiago, J Gvardiol. Our Lisandro will beeak
Into this group next season and Varane or VVD might drop out. This is a great signing, absolutely what we need
Not exactly the same but similar traitsOh man, you can't just name drop Jaap Stam. Now I definitely want him.
I've been following him since he was in Turkish league. Believe me, he will dominate the premier league. He is monster.
I’m not familiar with a lot of these sources that are reporting this, but if this doesn’t materialise it’ll be disappointing.
He’d be a great addition and more suitable replacement for Maguire. He will get games no doubt since Varane, while great, is a bit fragile and probably can’t handle two full games every week without risking injury.

Could Vishy become the new Romano?
That's over 100m spent already with the Mount transfer, guess the Glazers are just YOLOing it given they're not going to be in charge much longer.
He vishes.
I've had a few Kims in my life
Swear this bargain release clause keeps getting higher and higher
It was €50m earlier in the thread
This lad must be really, really highly-rated by ETH and our transfer team if we're moving for him this Summer. I'd say a senior CB is one of the lowest priority positions right now, so they must think he's a superstar and a bargain at the price
Any sources worth getting excited over?
Done deal?
I was thinking the same - it's definitely the lowest priority within the spine of the team. That said, I suppose if (when) Maguire goes that would leave just seven defenders to cover the back four for the whole season with not a lot coming through immediately and no midfielders who fill in at the back (Casemiro can I'm sure but wouldn't want to lose him from midfield). So definitely the least of the priorities but maybe we will bring one in.
Already spending this Ineos money.
Dodgy source but they're only reporting back what's been published in Italy and Portugal the last few days.
Would be just what the doctor ordered if that's how it plays out.
Yeah we'd be light one CB if we sold Maguire but Shaw can cover, as can Casemiro/McT if it gets desperate and given we don't have a CF or a functioning GK you'd think depth at CB would be down the list of priorities.
That's not to say at all I think it's a bad signing, by all accounts he's very good. I'll just be really disappointed if we sign another CB and are still starting DDG in goal next season.
Now that's the kind of comparison that will put hairs on your chest.
Can't believe we're doing this deal. Just far too competent.
Also, this 60m feels fake. It was always 40m, so maybe in euros it is 50m. 60m sounds too much.
It would also be a great commercial signing to have an up-and-coming player from such a huge market. We can finally start getting some of those South Korean fans back from Spurs.

It looks a great signing if it happens. Good age, just won a league title, analytics look good. We can get into whether CB is the biggest priority ever, but there's certainly a hole there to be filled. There's a weakness with Varane's availability. There is no way on earth Varane is driving us through 4 competitions himself. We can't let that weakness derail us in a crucial position. We need those clean sheets, because there's still a lot of work to do in attack and defence is our current avenue to win many games.
This would conclusively address said weakness and give us 3 top quality CBs and a very competent cover option in Lindelof.

It makes all the sense in the world for us really. Turning CB into one of our biggest positions of strength would go a long way towards maintaining trophy challenging form throughout the long season through injuries and fatigue.
He sounds intriguing
Guessing it’s dependent on Maguire leaving?

Is he good one on one? If we plan on playing with 2 no.8s we need an exceptional one on one defending CB to cover transitions. Like Saliba or VVD used to be.
