Do-young? At least there are no chants that could be aimed at us/him.

So now that Naylor has published the interest from us,... boom... a money club will intervene.

Nice to see he progressed from the youth setup to the (groans internally) senior Citizens. Will he still get a concession with the new ticket prices?

Only issue is we'll have to sell him before he does his mandatory conscription.

He can defer his conscription until he is 28.
Also being a pro footballer playing in the Premier League he’ll be considered an ambassador for South Korea so it’s likely he’ll be able to apply for an exception and will only have to do 1 months basic training. There will be other training obligations but these are only a few days a year.
If he plays for Korea internationally and they win the Asian games he’ll automatically get an exception and only have to do basic training.

Let's hope so. Son had to win the Asian games to get out of doing the 21 months and it was a close call.
Out of curiosity, do you know any footballers who received the exemption without winning the Asian games?

If we were to sign a Korean, we'd probably get a visit from the Korean Englishman to feed the whole squad Korean food:

I can’t remember Park Ji-Sung missing 21 months of football. He played pretty regularly for PSV and Man United which would have covered the mandatory age for conscription. Unless rules have changed since then. He didn’t win any gold medals either.
Google doesn’t help as their AI returns results for the military career of an actor called Ji Sung as that served by Park Ji-Sung

He got it as a result of their performance at the 2002 World Cup. Originally, it wasn't going to be granted but they all got an exemption after some discussions.

You've done it now..... made it public.
Expect to see him holding up the Chelsea shirt on Monday morning
