Amazing how quick people are to jump on this FFS!
Ok, this guy plays (briefly...) in League 2.....but only because his team, Monaco, were relegated last season!
He is captain of South Korea and has scored 17 times in his 53 games.
If true, then this looks to be a good signing. I've long thought that Park Ji-Sung was a much underrated and important part of the United scheme so wouldn't write Park Chu-Young off just because of where he comes from!

I agree that we shouldn't write him off because he's South Korean but his goal scoring record for Monaco doesn't look anything special (26 in 103 games), what little info there is out there says he isn't a finisher but more of a dribbler.
