All aboard the reversing bus, driven by Dr Winston O'Boogs.
We were desperate for a midfielder who can slot in and keep us flowing when we're under pressure last season. He may lack substance at the best of times but Ki can be a very useful player when used correctly whose ability to retain possession can only be matched by Leon. Not the sharpest defensive mind but he has time to improve. Tie him down for the next couple of years and see if he does so.
Not sure why de Guzman comparisons are being made. They're two different types of player. It's not a case of one or the other, I think we need both. [Post edited 30 Jul 2014 22:47]

Possibly for the first time since he's been here he's felt valued by the manager and club, which may push him on to better performances. |  |

i think everybody will love him the first time he hits one perfectly in the top corner from outside the box.
hopefully that happens this season.
that said, what a waste it would be to let him go at this point, or at least, to see if he's up for it. i think the way he played for korea this summer was almost exactly what is needed. i guess we'll find out quickly if he's cut out to play Leon's role, or if he's going to rotate with Shelvey and possibly Siggy once Leon gets back. |  | | |

But Korea were awful! (To the chagrin of my girlfriend who I think was happier for Korea's defeats than Japan's wins)
But in all seriousness... I would like to see him step up. he's an imposing figure on the pitch to be sure. but so far its been mostly substance. really I mean if we need someone to take potshots at the goal from range, I'd rather have Shelvey do that as its paid off at least a few times. And he's shown to be good at pushing the box and sifting some passes inside to the forwards and wingers. And I think thats my biggest grivance with Ki. its not a DeGuzman sub that much is true, as Ki isn't that flavour of player, he seems more to be a Shelvey flavour. and I can see him as a good sub for Shelvey (who I hope can do more extended shifts like he was towards the end of last season) but aside from that I don't see him bringing anything unique to the squad that we don't already have.
That is unless he can shift some more passes and relay from the back to the front. But he's so slow. maybe Chelsea will come calling. |  |

Ki has not applied his utility it to great affect. I did not watch him much at Sunderland as I did not think he would be back. I am worried on this one and hope Monk is right. A DM would be a good signing or get Canas back. |  | | |

I'm not a Ki fan, but to say he is useless is a step too far. just not at our level as I see him and would be happy (or put fairly, not bothered one bit if he goes)
Serious question - to those championing him on here, what is it he actually does? Can someone set out what it is Ki does in a game, what attributes he brings. I'm struggling to think of anything that I could point to and say that's what Kim brings. |  |
| Oh,..Dave, what's occuring? |

A very good player if played in the corrrect position.
DM isn't that position. Obviously. |  | | |

That's pretty much where I am as well. Ki's not as bad a player as many make out. De Guzman's not as awesome as many make out either (although equally not as poor as some have made him out to be in the past).
It'd be a blow if De Guzman didn't come back, but nowhere near a fatal one. |
This is exactly what I think.
I'm one of the JDG doubters, but he was always one of the first names down on the team sheet for us because he was always good for an assist or goal. I genuinely think Ki is slightly better in overall play; and we need to play him in JDG's position to get him in the damaging positions.
Ki is as cool as they come and will find the passes necessary when he's further up, I have no doubt about that. |  | | |

They're just terrified that he'll come in and do okay so their getting their reversing in early. |  |

So to paraphrase, you have doubts about JDG but have no doubts about Ki. Very interesting, almost fascinating to me .......... | |

Defensively Ki can't do what JDG does. He's no tackler and I don't think Li is the best at tracking back either |  |

It would when you somehow deduce that I have no doubts over Ki when not mentioning that at all. | | | |

Having no doubts about his general overall play is different from me having no doubt about him finding passes when further up the pitch. | | | |

Haha, you wrote these words:

"I genuinely think Ki is slightly better in overall play"
"Ki is as cool as they come and will find the passes necessary when he's further up, I have no doubt about that".

Would I prefer JDG? Yes.
If a deal can't be done for JDG, would I take Ki as his replacement? Also yes. |
This, in a nutshell and probably in far fewer words than I'd have used.  |  | | |
