Another one bites the dust. Hope this hasn't been posted already.
He's coming back to the K-League I'm told.
Apparently Ulsan (former club), Suwon (of course), Incheon (good luck finding the money) and Seould (bankers) are fighting for him.
It's good for the league if you ask me as who gives a shit about developing his football to then play the odd ratshit game for the national team when he can entertain the masses and be happy at home where people appreciate him and rub his ego.

Christ, I hope he doesn't sign for Suwon Aye, the Suwon supporters are all over this story on the Grandbleu site (it's replaced the arguments over whether Sandro should come back so that's a good thing). I wonder if a J-League side wouldn't be interested? Choi Sung-guk's apparently going to Kashima on a five month loan deal, and Kim Jin-kyu and Choi Tae-wook have already gone to Japan...

Christ are there any Japanese players in the J-League?!
I can see you now with a Lee Chon-su Suwon shirt HJ. Posters of him all over your walls. Naming your first born (who would be bigger at birth) after him...

If it's true and Lee Chon-su is coming back to Ulsan that would be great. There have been rumors of that on TV down here in the dirty old town.
We've also heard that he may follow Choi Sung-kuk to the J-League as the money might be an issue, he won't be able to get as much maybe in the K-League.
It would be nice to have him back down here. It could help boost the attendence a little to have him back.

And they said he was such a fine young lad. Behavior like that is appaling. Chances of seeing Lee Chon-su in a Suwon shirt.... well...who can they loan out or sell and how much do they have to spend? What's the latest you've heard HJ?

What's the latest you've heard HJ? I heard about Lee Chun-soo saying he understood why Lee Eun-joo committed suicide, said something like he had similar thoughts one time in Spain and that's one of the reasons he's hoping for a move back home. How's yer Spanish? A quick Babelfish says Sociedad are looking to sell him to "Korea, Japan or China" and they hope to recoup a lot of the money they paid for him. The ending comment: "but it seems that it is possible to be dismissed of Spanish Liga without to have marked a single goal, neither the last season in the thirteen parties that played with the Real one, nor in the fifteen that has disputed in the present with the Numancia."

So basicly he's a home-sick cry baby that doesn't get a lot of playing time, can't score when he does, and Sociedad wants it's money back. He'll end up at back here in Ulsan where they will all stroke his ego, and he'll score a goal or two and do jack-squat when they call him up to the National team. You heard it here first!

If Suwon signed Lee Chun Soo, i'm going to kill myself. song Chong Gug, Kim Nam Il, Lee Chun Soo, Oh the horror. Atleast let Jeonbuk or Pohang have Lee Chun Soo, we can't let Suwon run away with the title...

Lee Eun-joo? Did I miss something? Lee Eun-joo ('Taegukgi' actress, amongst other movies) hung herself on Tuesday. This is a report from the Korea Times. ------------------------ About the Lee Chun-soo situation, this is an article from the KT:

Becuas eof all these 'top line players' that are coming back from Europe with tails between their legs you have to wonder how many will have a go in the future?
They are probably turning quite a few up and comers off the idea.
List of successful Koreans in Europe
Lee Young-pyo Cha Boom What's his face at Wolves? The other bloke at PSV?

Huh Jung-moo had three relatively decent seasons with PSV Eindhoven right back in the early 1980s.
This was on BigSoccer (via Soccerworld), a supposed list of 'what could have been' in terms of Koreans possibly going to Europe:

1994=Ko Jung-Woon(Ilhwa Chunma)=Leverkusen(Germany)=Ihwa rejected offers;
1996=Hong Myung-Bo(Pohang)=Bologna, Sampdoria(Italy);Sevilla, Zaragoza (Spain);Hamburg, Hertha BSC(Germany)=Pohang rejected offers;
1997=Seo Jung-Won(Anyang)=Bielfeld(Germany)=Anyang rejected offer;
1998=Kim Eun-Joong(Daejeon)=Vitesse(Holland)=Daejeon rejected offer; ¡¡<br> 1998=Jung Jae-Gwon(Busan)=Benfica(Portugal)=Busan rejected offer;¡¡
1998=Hong Myung-Bo(J-League)=Barcelona(Spain); Strasbourgh(France); NAC Breda(Holland)=Club rejected offer;
1999=Choi Yong-Soo(Anyang)=Westham(England)=Inexperienc ed Agent;¡¡

Korean media are suggesting Lee Chun-soo will sign for Ulsan in July (after the Peace Cup) for $2m.
