I couldn't agree more £1.5m wasted on a shoe pony who isn't prepared to work hard for the team. I reckon if you spoke to one of the players I reckon they'd tell you exactly the same.

I tend to agree with the "shame because he is talented" comment. Seol has shown what he can do (first few games) but unfortunately he seems to be doing what he did at Wolves - settle in and sit back and relax.
Coppell has done the right thing by criticising him in public as he must be someone Seol respects, fair enough fans aren't happy with his work rate but it's important Coppell has had his say. Now hopefully this can be the end of the thread - some people will always boo players, others won't - we all ahve different approaches. I personally don't like personal criticism - but i do appreciate being told directly any constructive criticism so i know where i stand.
However, I would suggest Seol needs to accept that no matter how much he may not like it, there will always be critics. It is up to him to demonstrate strength of character to ignore the non-important criticism, but identify and respond positively to the stuff that is valid and from people who know what they are talking about.
Consider Andy Hughes, he wasn't that good but, if he knows he was having a poor game when in possession he would work doubly hard in other areas of the game to ensure he is not a passenger. For instance he would work his nuts off by running around the pitch, even more so than usual; to bring other players into the game and give them the space on the pitch so they can do the damage to the opposition. That was good character.
