Kim returned to the starting lineup today and played the full 90 mins in a 2-3 away win to keep Kaiserslautern's promotion hopes alive.

There don't appear to be any highlights of the game (yet) so if anyone happened to see it or @KLFan would grace us with his presence again, would be nice to hear how he performed after several months out.

Highlights are on YouTube, but they tell you little apart from showing that he was actually on the pitch…

Prueßen Münster is my Uncle's local team and he usually goes, I'll ask him if he went to this.
Danke!

Just looking more at that link I posted above, in the live text there are two more references to Kim.

One short clip just below a substitution on 56 mins where he gets done on the halfway line by the RW, beaten for pace and the keeper makes a good save to prevent a goal and some text 31 mins which says he made a big error in his own box that almost lead to a goal for the hosts.

So not great from what's been reported but hopefully this is just a bit of ring rust from being out for 3 months.

read that there is an obligation to buy if they go up, don’t know how true it is

I read that! First I heard of it . I am sure that if it had been part of the loan agreement someone would have heard of it. No doubt t there would have been talk on GPG.

sounds like made up bollox

A permanent sale is likely if he’s not in Brentford’s plans. They could also loan him out again, but he’d need to sign a new deal at the club before that could happen. FT speculate that him remaining in Keith Andrews’ squad as an option hasn’t been ruled out yet.

Where's this chap at now? Back training with first team?
I thought he looked decent enough in the handful of minutes he got for us.
 

Ji-soo Kim

OK cool. Sounds like with him and Arthur pushing we've got plenty of options there then.
And Frederick, and Stephenson, and Schuster of course. We are stacked with young defenders, not all of them will make it with us and I get the feeling that we may move Kim on.

Can you expand on that feeling?

Definitely going to be a challenge to keep everyone developing and happy (altho Stephenson's never played a minute of first team football, for anyone, so Kim's logically way ahead of him at least).

Even if we said Collins/Ajer/SVDB/Schuster won't play any cup games at all....you've still got Kim&Frederick&Arthur to fight for two spots!

Hard to see there not being at least another loan or two!

I see Frederick as maurading right back more. I suspect Kim will be off. He'll be pissed his career not taken off at Brentford and missing out on world cup

Arthur looks like a future superstar, we've just invested £15m+ in Schuster, neither of them are going anywhere. Frederick just signed a new 4 year contract.

Rumours that there was an option to buy Kim for Kaiserslautern if they'd got promoted.

Sounds logical will watch what happens.

My friend who is Bolton fan, says they are rumoured to be looking to make a loan move for him.
 

Ji-soo Kim

At his age, and level he needs to be playing regular first team football.
Sometimes it’s kinder to let them move on.
He is playing first Team football on loan or is likely to be? Kind? We are a professional football club, and accordingly we will do what has the best outcome for the club. If it is in our best interest he will be sold.

No offence, bit your tone is unnecessarily patronising.
 

Ji-soo Kim

What is untrue in the post. He is/was playing first team football. The clubs objective is the club not solely individual players.
Perhaps you object to having it pointed out.

Personally were I him I would prefer the security of being at a club where I could build a first team career, and in his case an International one.
But I expect you’re right. 😉

Calm down you two. Is this heat getting to you? We're all friends on here, I hope!

All good my end chief!
I just do think that it is possible to disagree with somebody’s opinion without “the tone” that sometimes permeates some posts.

I guess it was about spreading "minutes" around across the two matches, but KJS was with the B team ⬇️ Probably has no bearing on his place in the CB pecking order I guess.
Says Fabio grew into game, but looks like he only played 22 minutes, or is that a typo?
 

Ji-soo Kim

If Collins is gonna be out til the international break there could be space on the bench for a CB against Bournemouth, and a need to test his readiness against reading. Might be glad not to have gone out a loan this summer

I’d always be inclined to have two centre backs on the bench
 

Ji-soo Kim

Become important for back up now.

Weirdly i had higher hopes that he would push the first team squad.

Didnt look out of place in the minutes he got last season, cant remember the game.
 

Ji-soo Kim

It’s the Law of Sod, innit. Let defenders leave = remaining defenders start dropping like flies…
It is not a complete disaster as it gave Schuster his opportunity. He could have waited six months, or more on the Bench. Early days yes, he could however turn out to be an asset for Keith.
