http://news.nate.com/view/20091208n04207?mid=n0106 Shin joins a Russian club FC Tom Tomsk along with Kim Nam-il. FC Tom Tomsk is managed by former Bucheon SK manager Valeri Nepomniachi.
Re: Shin Young-rok @ FC Tom Tomsk 2010 When does the Russian season start? I hope those two do well over there.
Re: Shin Young-rok @ FC Tom Tomsk 2010 I really wish the best for two players (although i never really liked Gargamel too much). Hopefully, Shin Young Rok will start popping in goals and eventually be picked up by Huh. I didn't watch any of the Turkey league games, but his stats show that he deserved a chance.
Re: Shin Young-rok @ FC Tom Tomsk 2010 Like K-League, the RPL kicks off the new season on early spring.
Re: Shin Young-rok @ FC Tom Tomsk 2010 Good to see that he found a new club. Also interesting to Nam-il in Europe again.
Re: Shin Young-rok @ FC Tom Tomsk 2010 I find it amusing that Shin YR has his own thread for FC T T while Kim Nam Il just gets honorable mention in Shin's thread.
Re: Shin Young-rok @ FC Tom Tomsk 2010 Yeah they should rename it too Shin Young-rok and Kim Nam-il @ FC Tom Tomsk 2010
Re: Shin Young-rok @ FC Tom Tomsk 2010 Never saw him in K league or Turkey except for highlights but caught the group matches when he played in the U20 WC 2007 in Canada. Same group as Pato and Jozy Altidore. Didn't know who he was back then but looking at the youtube vid I thought I spotted LCY. I thought SYR showed real potential and showed off some great moves on his goals. Hope he fulfills his potential and get's a call up for SA Dokebiteam has this nice vid up: [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Y_CRp1zVuk"]Compilation[/ame]
Re: Shin Young-rok @ FC Tom Tomsk 2010 I have all his goals and assists up on my Youtube channel: [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K2iD6JeWGbo"]YouTube- Shin Young-Rok Pt. II | Bursaspor v. Sivasspor | 9.19.09[/ame]
Re: Shin Young-rok @ FC Tom Tomsk 2010 I have to say that the most impressive player during that U-20 tourney was Ki Sung-Yong, who played as a CB. Quality of those cross-field passes he played from the back were simply jaw dropping. Then again, pretty much everyone on that team, individually, was superb in all three matches.
Re: Shin Young-rok @ FC Tom Tomsk 2010 should change the thread title to Shin Young-Rok & Kim Nam-Il @ FC Tom Tomsk 2010.
Re: Shin Young-rok @ FC Tom Tomsk 2010 I can't modify the title of the thread anymore. Ask the mod for help.
Re: Shin Young-rok @ FC Tom Tomsk 2010 Didn't realize Ki was on that team as well. Funny him playing as a CB as defense is not supposed to be his strong point but maybe thats the midfield role he plays today. That U20 team was strong, especially in retrospect as some of the kids have moved on. Surprised they placed last in their group and didn't advance in light of their performances at that tourney. Loved the goal scored by SYR against Brazil where he cuts it back to his other foot, made the defender look silly. I remember in that same match against Brazil he got a wicked elbow in the face as he was harassing a defender. Ref didn't catch that one though.
Re: Shin Young-rok @ FC Tom Tomsk 2010 The starting defenders were all injured in 2007, much like this year.
Re: Shin Young-rok @ FC Tom Tomsk 2010 That was BS. Brazil should have a man down. But Shin still played through it and scored a nice goal. I had become a fan of his since then.
Re: Shin Young-rok @ FC Tom Tomsk 2010 Park Jung-hye, who is currently playing for Daejeon, missed all of the ties. He was considered as the best defensive player in Korean collegiate soccer at the moment.
Re: Shin Young-rok @ FC Tom Tomsk 2010 Yes, he and Park Joo-Ho were in the same class at Soongsil-dae.
Re: Shin Young-rok @ FC Tom Tomsk 2010 has anyone read this? this is a pretty good article, its more about Kim Nam Il. http://joongangdaily.joins.com/article/view.asp?aid=2914007 It seems like there were a lot of important spectators in that game against Serbia. I really hope Kim Nam Il can regain his form even a little for his last world cup. the article also says that Tom Tomsk wanted SYR last year but went bankrupt... bummer....
Re: Shin Young-rok @ FC Tom Tomsk 2010 Any news on SYR? Last I read they couldn't agree on the money.
Re: Shin Young-rok @ FC Tom Tomsk 2010 Nobody followed up on this but Shin Young-Rok is indeed joining Tom Tomsk on a two-year contract.
Re: Shin Young-rok @ FC Tom Tomsk 2010 did any of you guys attend the Suwon vs Chelsea game at the colesium a few years back? i think it was the summer of 07 when SYR was warming up and i shouted, "young rok e hyung, sign haejooseyo!" and he actually responded "najoongeh, gidalyeo!" but then i never saw him again. since then, i fell in love with him and wished him luck whereever he went. btw, what happened to pretty boy baek ji hoon? i remember before the wc06, the Korean media was talking about him as if he was going to be the next zidane or something.

Re: Shin Young-rok @ FC Tom Tomsk 2010 Great find. Good to see him back in action and scoring after that weird contractual/player's fee limbo. I wonder if Kim Nam-Il was also playing. Perhaps a call-up to the NT isn't so far fetched.
