4 days before the international friendly of South Korea against Iran, Ki Sung Yong said he wants to leave Celtic.
"I don't need to stay at Celtic as long as I can't get a first team place. The relationship with Neil Lennon isn't that good since the last season. He always said that I'm not good at defence, I think he don't want to see my strengths. He always stresses my weaknesses. It feels like I will not be in the first team forever"
"Last summer, I heard Senol Gunes wanted to bring me to Trabzonspor but Celtic denied the offer. So I thought 'I will be in the first team for the next season' but it wasn't true. I should find out another team for the winter transfer window"

Lol oh well so much for Ki
No biggy, plenty of competition for his position, if you can't stand the heat..
don't believe it, can't speak korean and i don't know the source.
true though, why the fuck do we have so many CMs? we could have done without signing 3 tbh, what do we have now 6/7? ridiculous we should have sold him earlier if an offer came in, even though i rate him we may aswell get money if he's not getting played.
Good player no heart, not suited for the SPL or Celtic in particular................
Lennon should've sold him if he doesn't rate him. Not tell him 3 weeks ago he has him in his plans, and then put him on ice after he scores a cracker. I too hope this is all a big translation fuck up. and that Lennon will give him a shot. There's something called rotation.
We no longer need to rotate having being knocked out of both European cups.
I'm fed up with people shouting about how good Juarez, Kayal and Ledley are as well. We haven't really seen what they can do yet.
I'm taking my time to decide who should play in our midfield and so should Ki. He's starting to sound like Kris Boyd if the quotes are true.
Tell you what though, Leon won't be very happ.. oh.
A person on TC explained the interview better, as he is part Korean, and knows how their media work. Ki wants to improve, but thinks he needs to play games to get better in defensive tasks. He feels he can't progress in that aspect unless he plays games.
If thats his attitude send him to the dolrums of St Mirren or some shite team
Rafa Benitez tries this rotation malarkey, look where that got him with Liverpool? Won a European Cup, UEFA Super Cup, FA Cup and Community Shield but out on his arse as it didn't work in the EPL. Now take a look at him in Italy... Won one, drew one and lost one. Won an Italian Super Cup final and lost a UEFA Super Cup final.
You need to understand the key 40-yard back pass to be considered a centre midfielder by Lennon
Only joking, seriously though it seems this guy has believed the hype pilled up on him and thinks he can be the next best thing without the effort, Samaras took the criticism on board and is getting the reward with games. If he wants to go then fair enough, mabey that will give him the much needed boost to shine in England's lower leagues... just like the rest who are to good to prove their worth at this club.
Later...
