Wow!! New Ibrox superstar Kim Min-su has ‘a hundred million times more raw talent’ than Celtic’s Yang according to Korean ‘expert’

Well, that’s us told then, isn’t it?

And ‘100 million’ is the number being used to tell us.

Yes, the Sun is running with the story today that a player who played 60 games in the Segunda division in Spain with giants Andorra, has ‘100 million times more raw talent’ than our Korean winger Hyun-Jun Yang.

Wow!

High praise indeed.

This is according to this guy:

Mornin’, Gers!

Just wanted to thank #rangersfc supporters for embracing me as part of the people. 🫂 Especially want to thank @GM1872_ & @KaiGWatson for the shoutouts. They were completely unsolicited & done only by the goodness of their hearts. ❤️

Well all signs point to Kim… pic.twitter.com/J8O8oFnsSL

The Sun states that Joel Kim is a Korean football expert.

I guess that must make me a Scottish football expert.

Why?

Because Kim has a similar following on X to the Read Celtic X, so I reckon that must be enough to make you a football expert?

Well, I suppose if the Sun says so, then that must be the case?

The Korean footie expert appeared as a guest on The 4th Official YouTube channel and was quizzed on the starlet’s skillset and comparisons to Yang.

While he was full of praise for the Hoops wide man, he highlighted the new Light Blues star has a much higher ceiling.

He said: Don’t get me wrong, I like Yang.

I think he’s a great player.

And my policy is that I support every team with a Korean player in it!“His strength is his explosiveness 1v1, he’s very fast and the reality is that Yang is just more developed that Kim Min-su.

He’s 24 going on 25 and the full version of him is there. So in some ways the comparison isn’t there as Kim is four years younger. That’s quite a lot.

He’s still a prospect but what makes him so special and what makes him worth ten million euros is the raw talent and ability he brings.

He’s a creator, very technical and has great pace.

I don’t want to be foolish and say he’s faster than Yang but I think by the time he’s 24 and hitting his prime he will be. He’s got unbelievable pace, unbelievable speed. It just leaps out when you watch him play.

He just moves at a speed different to everyone else. Come Yang’s age, I think he’ll overshadow him.

I think he’s a better scorer, even now. Yang is decent but Kim Min-su in my opinion has a better end product.

Right, there’s a lot to unpack there.

But at no point does Kim focus on the stats between the two players.

Andorra, a mid to lower table side in the Spanish Segunda division, is not a proving ground for a player who is soliciting the kind of praise Joel Kim is showering on Kim Min-su.

Tonight, Yang will be lining out for Celtic in the Champions League.

If you’re looking for levels, that’s it right there.

Yang has made over 80 appearances for Celtic since he joined.

He scored 10 goals alone from the wing last season.

So, this Korean ‘expert’ the Sun is talking about?

Just by saying he’s an expert doesn’t make him an expert.

The Sun was clearly looking for a headline to drive their story, and the “100 million times more raw talent” one ticked every box they needed.

Expert or not.

I wonder how Joel Kim got to watch a lot of Andorra FC in the Spanish Segunda division last season to be able to come up with such a broad statement?

Anyway, he’s already been sucked in by the klanbase, so that tells you all you need to know about him.

I know I’ve been the target of a lot of #CelticsFC folks in my coverage/enthusiasm for Kim, but I just need to remind I also support/love Yang very much and I will continue to support all teams with Korean players and that includes Celtic.

I just find it interesting that my… pic.twitter.com/SmN7XSVDqM

When he’s saying WATP already, you know he’s a lost cause.

And the Sun called this guy an expert.

I guess we’ll see just how good this guy is soon enough, won’t we?

I’ll leave it at that…
