Kwon Chang Hoon may be headed in reverse to Dijon. Suwon appears to have admitted that he's being sold so it seems to be just a matter of paperwork and travel. Even with military commitment, the rumored fee (1.2m + sell on) seems like a low price for one of the more promising Korean footballers of recent times even if he's far from finished product.
We will see if Park Joo Ho goes somewhere but as of now, he's been given a fair chance in winter friendlies so not looking close to an exit.

Son Heung Min -- He played ok last weekend, scoring a goal. He showed good touch (which regular followers of this blog noticed that I use as a barometer of how he's doing mentally) and some good pace, though with a lumpy squad, had a hard time creating influence. Lamela is still out so for now, Son should get some chances but with everyone doing well right now, he'll have to battle to get back into starting XI.
Lee Chung Yong -- He played 90 in the cup match at Bolton and reportedly played well. With Zaha out at AFCON, LCY shifts up the depth chart, but probably still be on the bench. Especially with replay midweek in the FA cup.
Ki Sung Yueng -- Was a surprise starter in cup match, and was reportedly a bit less sharp. With a full week of rest, hopefully he gets that sharpness back in a tough matchup in Arsenal. So far it seems he's re-established himself in starting XI so hopefully he keeps hustling and working to stay there.
