Nonsense! Remember Leicester? Sure fire relegation to Champions in 18 months? There is a belief in the core of this team. Yes, we're not the finished article, and need a few key additions, but....... I'd be very disappointed if we are not top 10 next season (by definition challenging for a playoff spot) and a little disappointed if we don't make the playoffs. C'Mon Stoke, bring back the excitement! Bookies early odds have us 10th. Sheff Utd and Middlesbro' are the favourites. Coventry and Portsmouth for play offs. Plymouth and PNE at the bottom. Doesn't include teams who can still go up or down. Take it all with a pinch of salt. It sounds like that list is missing Luton who are not yet down and the 4 teams currently in the play-offs? So in effect 14th once all the teams are decided. And where are Burnley? They will be more fancied than Boro.

Or maybe their scouts are like me and use the "eye test" which he passes with flying colours... this boy WILL be Premier League level. It's only a matter of time. I agree with you, he's turned in some really good performances. He's been the shining light in a shit season. However outside of this message board and the bet365 on a match day, there's very little talk of him. I doubt premier league scouts have been to watch him, they'veprobably not been alerted to him yet due to his stats. He improves his output next season then it'll be very hard keep him here next summer. You might be right but it's where the clubs like Brighton have excelled in the transfer market, picking up players before the hype kicks in.

Luton are down, they are not going to score about a dozen goals in the last game are they?

I mean come on... it's 2024, the world is actively pushing along AI, recruiters are paid silly sums of money in Elite sport, do we really think they are only alerted to players like Jun Ho when the fans/media chirp up?? Rest assured that your Brightons, Burnleys, Brentfords are all fully aware of him and I am sure even much bigger clubs are monitoring. We may well get lucky this summer but it wont be long before a club comes in with a double figures offer and we will have no choice but to accept.

Like any PL scout wouldn't at least take a look at who won Player of the Season at every Championship club.

I suppose if it is your job you could easily track every pro footballer in the world via your PC. It would make sense and I daresay that is how they keep up with all eligible players thereby making the job easier. Stats on virtually every player can be viewed at all times.

If that is the way they do it I suspect Bae will have slipped under the radar a bit. He is definitely an example of a player who looks far better on the pitch than when you look at his stats. I don't think he appears in the top ten championship players in any matrix but I haven't seen many if any players I'd swap for him. There is nothing to measure determination, creative thinking, fast feet and instant control

Hes clearly not ready for the Premier League yet. He has settled in well in the Championship with us, but his contributions havent been enough so far considering his talent and potential.
He must know he needs another season at this level before he is ready for that step up.
He has plenty of time on his side, and this time next season he could probably have a ton of offers from top clubs on top dollars.
I would eat my hat if he leaves this summer.

Interview on Korean tv about his season. No translation - although funny when he nervously tries to sing his Bae Junho (Ah-ha) chant.

twitter.com/KNTFootballKBS SPORTS INTERVIEW WITH BAE JUN-HO 🇰🇷👑 Bae Jun-ho gave a short interview in Korea ever since arriving home and shared his thoughts about how his season went, how meaningful the awards/his chant song have been to him, and also his future goals to advance into the EPL and play for the senior KNT. Good stuff! 🔥 Thoughts on your first season in Europe? 🗣️ "I really think it was a successful first season when I look back. At first it was very hard, but I overcome the difficulties. Because I adapted faster than I expected I showed better performance, I think I can take it to another level next year. I think it was very successful for my first season overseas." You were selected as the Player of the Year, chosen by the fans! 🗣️ "Since it's only my first season, I'm the only Asian player from overseas, and I don't think it would have been easy for such a player since it was an award given by fan votes, it's a very meaningful and personally rewarding award. As I'm learning English and trying to communicate in the language, connecting with the fans through interviews, everything's been getting better and better." Talk about your cheer song. 🗣️ "It's my first cheer song and the reality is not many players have their own songs, but as they've made a song for me it's been so meaningful, and through that song I think my confidence went up alot." Can you sing your cheer for us? 🗣️ "Right now? Uhh...it's a little awkward..." (Bae shyly runs through the cheer for the interviewer.) Do you have any regrets about not being able to join the Olympic team? 🗣️ "I was so sorry. Because the player's heart is to want to be helpful to the team. I wanted to go no matter what but the situation at Stoke wasn't good...I felt sorry to Coach Hwang. He fully trusted in me to the end and he did everything he could to bring me, but I couldn't help." Goals moving forward? 🗣️ "For now, I would like to advance to the EPL and I would like to debut for the senior National team, those are my goal. I am confident that I will grow into a better player than I am now, so watch out for me!"

He's set himself a target of 10 goals next season which seems reasonable.......

A bit more composure and he will achieve it no problem.
The woodwork miss and the couple he had blocked away from home will be goals before long.

there's definitely Junho rhyming possibilities with The Clash classic chorus
"Should I stay or should I go now? Should I stay or should I go now? If I go there will be trouble And if I stay it will be double So come on and let me know"
(fires up chat GPT)
