Google Bot 3,929 Posted September 12, 2023 Just now, Capt. Pants said: Same as against Wales then. He had some movement to him vs Wales, but the game has gone all Saudi since he came on really. Which is annoying as Korea was making chances before he come on... It's more a case of bad luck rather than his inability I think. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ulfotto 798 Posted September 13, 2023 I have No expectations for Hwang the guy has never played a single game in English footballer. To me anything he gives us is a bonus feels like a stop gap meat in the room type signing until Sargent is fit again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheBaldOne66 768 Posted September 13, 2023 But according to Rob Butlers piece on Facebook the South Korean journalist thinks he’s “world class” so I’d ask if that’s the case why has he never played a game for Forest and why aren’t the big teams around the world after him 🤣🤣🤣 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Capt. Pants 5,008 Posted September 13, 2023 I don't see anyone writing him off but it's reasonable to have some expectation of him having been brought in to help cover for Sargent. It's a shame he didn't get more minutes on the pitch in those 2 friendlies but even then he hasn't even trained with our squad yet. He comes with pretty good experience so hopefully the Championship should be easier for him to slot into. He needs to adapt to our style though not the other way round. I look forward to him playing some part against Stoke. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Get to f*ck you attention seeking bell. Your posts are becoming an absolute embarrassment. Wake up on the wrong side of the bed buddy? Why so angry and hostile? Take a deep breath. All I did was point out that the Saudi state owns Newcastle and so it makes sense for them to be playing at Saint James as they own the stadium. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jaberry2 769 Posted September 13, 2023 Hopefully Hwang starts our next game upfront with Barnes in behind. He needs to be playing regularly to regain his form which he had at Bordeaux. I think he'll turn out to be a stand out player in a our team if he plays regularly from the start. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GJL Mid-Norfolk Canary 2,035 Posted September 13, 2023 You do wonder if we'd have sold Omabamidele (£11m up front) a few days before the window shut, whether we may have bought/loaned someone else rather than what on the face on it looks to be a bit of a punt Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ulfotto 798 Posted September 13, 2023 Personally I am quite excited to see what he brings he seems almost a throwback signing like a modern day Marc Libbra or Gaetano Giallenza or David Nielsen or Ulf Ottosson. Just seems a total random signing 31 year old Korean who has never played in England before. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
