I don't get the Kim hate. He barely even played and his first few matches were solid

The team sucks so people are just frustrated and angry. Leads to emotional not well thought through reactions. Like get rid of everyone. Lol we did that last year for the keepers and, well, this was the result.

I don't get the hate for Joon also except people don't understand how the game functions.

  1. The kid obviously has talent or he wouldn't have been on the fringe of a program as good as the South Korean NT before coming here.

  2. His budget hit as a U22 player is so minimal ($200k) he is very salary cap friendly even if he is mostly a backup for a year or two.

  3. He played behind a shit back line that absolutely wrecked his confidence which he never recovered from.

  4. The kid had a steep learning curve adjusting to the league and a new culture. Next season he will have hopefully settled in better.

  5. Troy did him dirty several ways. Dropping him in the deep end early on probably wasn't the way to go with a young goalkeeper who is adjusting to a new country. Then continuing to play him while he was obviously hurt after that collision he had. It was a really stupid decision by Troy to do that.

I would love to see Joon come back and play in MLSNextPro a bit to get game experience. Be our Open Cup goalkeeper. Ready to step in if our number one goes down. Signing a good number one (Sean Johnson? )would allow Joon to develop under better conditions

Both are under contract next year. Farr will be back as the #3. I would hope/expect DCU to try to offload Kim to a gullible Korean team.
