Welcome Myung-Jae Lee! - Just Like Paik This Guy Ain't No Fake! - Player Profile & Much More!

Birmingham City have added South Korean International Myung-Jae Lee to their squad in the final hours of the 2024/25 season. In doing so Blues have added an experienced flying left back who will provide much needed cover and competition for current first choice left back Alex Cochrane. Myung-Jae Lee will benefit from the fact that his South Korean compatriot Paik Seung-Ho is already at Birmingham City who will no doubt help him with the transition from the South Korean K-League to the hustle and bustle of the English Football League. This looks like another fantastic addition to the Birmingham City Squad who is likely to play a key role for the rest of the season.
In this Podcast we discuss Birmingham City's exciting new signing. Learn all about his former transfers, playing style, career highlights, and the player could be the perfect addition to the Blues squad. As Birmingham City fans we explain what we can expect from our new addition.

Just to mention, anybody who knows me knows i dont think much of that club in B6. But on Saturday night i went to a fund raiser for young Leo Ross, a lot of money was raised, and credit where credits due , the Villa sent quite a bit of stuff over to go into the raffle which went for quite a bit of money. So fair play to them. Stansfield shirt went for £350 , i think it was

[@BCFCRoyalBlue]

Thank you very much for your comment Keith which is greatly appreciated. That is really nice to hear. Such a tragic loss at such a tender age. KRO!

[@NickMcAndrew-h7u]

Interesting video think he will be good cover for left back. Well done Matt with your prediction for the Stevenage game only 1 minute out

[@BCFCRoyalBlue]

Thank you very much for your comment Nick which is greatly appreciated. Yes, this looks like another great addition to the squad and definitely the type of player Chris Davies likes. KRO!

[@pulpet9193]

Mystic Matt on the money last night! Glad we can give Cochrane a breather now. KRO

[@BCFCRoyalBlue]

Thank you very much for your comment which is greatly appreciated. Yes Matt did well with the prediction, although he was a couple of minutes out with the goal time! KRO!

[@robbiemichaels2347]

How do we know that he's cover for Cochrane? I'm so pleased Gary that you mention at the end of the video that could Myung -Jae Lee actually cement a place in the first team. Without competition of places then you haven't got a true squad. We are certainly building that. As I said last week that Dowell will play a bigger role than we may think and look at what he's doing already. I have a feeling that this lad could very well get a head of Cochrane and I would not have said that before. This team will have to keep on evolving and getting better it's as simple as that.

[@BCFCRoyalBlue]

Thank you very much for your comment Robbie which is greatly appreciated. The signings in January have strengthened our squad and we now have depth/cover/competitions in all positions which is great. This new lad looks really good from what I saw in my research. He is experienced, he is an international, he is technically very good and he likes to go forward. It will be interesting to watch the battle between him and Cochrane and the season continues. KRO!

[@HB2K-h8m]

I agree. Was in the K league team of the year 23/24 so a similar level to Paik. 5'11" and can play CB as well as LB. Current international. Smacks to me of a bit of a trial on both sides and could easily turn into another contract if both sides happy. Definitely championship level

[@andrewnisbett7565]

My Jury is still out on Kieran Dowell, he is giving the ball away a little and his decision making seems a little off, but its early days I guess. I am Looking forward to seeing Myung-Jae Lee, and pleased for Gradner Hickman, who has impressed and works hard every game.

[@Bluemineck]

Hi. Your podcasts are really timely and informative. Well done. So we’ve got a South Korean contingent now, as there are 2 or 3 girls too. So plenty of Asian players at the club. Another shrewd signing, got to take our hats off to the recruitment process presently; I’m liking it. And as for this guy his cv is spot on. Top team player in front of 40,000 crowds, an international in a country of some stature (and we’re in the third division). So so positive KRO

[@BCFCRoyalBlue]

Thank you very much for your comment which is greatly appreciated. We are pleased that you enjoy our podcasts. This seems to be another top signing and as you point out all credit to the recruitment team! KRO!

[@BB49.]

Very poor prediction on the Stevenage game you clearly said 1-0 to Blues with a 85th minute winner. When in fact it was the 83rd minute how bad was that. Your accuracy really needs to improve😂😂😂

[@BCFCRoyalBlue]

Thank you very much for your comment which is greatly appreciated. I know, its an absolute disgrace. I will be having a word with Matt tonight! KRO!

[@amornratklangkul4447]

Useless at predictions KRO

[@BCFCRoyalBlue]

@@amornratklangkul4447 it’s embarrassing isn’t it! 😂😂😂

[@Mikeyblue-s4u]

Hi both. Straight away, well done Matt. Late winner v Stevenage prediction.. He will be a good lad, that's my thoughts.😮😅😅. Thank you for such a thorough analysis on Lee.. Give Stansfield QUICK service, and he will score. He's always ready to spring.

[@kimcornfield7341]

Stanno, what a guy, once he went scampering off with the ball, there was only one outcome, and what a brilliant pass from Marc Leonard, top player. Wembley still in sight, great podcast guys. Love from Alison in John O Groats

[@BCFCRoyalBlue]

Thank you very much for your comment Alison which is greatly appreciated. It was a great pass from Marc Leonard and as you point out there was no way Stanno was going to miss that. Only one game away from Wembley now! KRO!

[@DonnaKRO82]

How exciting! At what point in the past 14 years have we had blues players telling their friends to come to blues …”it’s brilliant and get here quick”?! Never! I tell you now I just love this club! All the speeding tickets and all the fines cannot keep me away! There is always the train 🤣🤣🤣 KRO Fellas!

[@BCFCRoyalBlue]

Thank you very much for your comment Donna which is greatly appreciated. We finally seem like a proper run club and we really are going in the right direction. The recruitment at the club has been so good since the summer and long may it continue! KRO!

[@RICHP1979]

Brilliant result against Stevenage. Just one game away from Wembley😁 Well done Matt.... the range of between the 80th - 85th minute for the winning goal, I think it's fair to say that he got his 1 - 0 prediction spot on!! 😁 With regards to signing of Lee Myung-jae. What a sensible bit of business once again by Blues. An area that we needed to strengthen in terms of quality and cover. Being left footed he will provide natural balance and it gives us the opportunity to give Cochrane a rest. In addition he clearly is a player of good pedigree and to give him a contract until the end of the season just makes and shows perfect sense. Well done Blues yet again for another bit of brilliant business in the transfer market. The club clearly has a very clear and concise transfer policy. The manner in which the club goes about its business is so professional. It is a fantastic advertisement when looking to bring more players in in the future. Welcome to Blues Lee Myung-jae. KRO 💙

[@BCFCRoyalBlue]

Thank you very much for your comment Richard which is greatly appreciated. Yes, well done to Matt for getting his prediction near enough spot on and well done to Blues also for another fantastic signing. Onto Newcastle now which will be really exciting! KRO!

[@RICHP1979]

@BCFCRoyalBlue Matt nailed it. Pretty much in the middle of the range he gave for the only goal of the game. I'm lumping on his prediction for the Newcastle game (unless it's against Blues, then I won't be betting 🤣🤣) Newcastle United? Who? 😁 Hopefully, Newcastle are in for a shock 😲 KRO 💙

[@andy68364]

Thanks guys, interesting 🧐 KRO from Brazil 🇧🇷

[@BCFCRoyalBlue]

Thank you very much for your comment Andy which is greatly appreciated. KRO!

[@NickMcAndrew-h7u]

Interesting video seems like he will be a decent fit for us. Well done Matt with your prediction for Stevenage you said 1 - 0 in 85 minute what was it the 83 minute

[@BCFCRoyalBlue]

Thank you very much for your comment Nick which is greatly appreciated. Let's be fair Matt was 2 minutes out so let's not carried away! Obviously this is Gary making this comment! KRO!

[@JustMyFish]

He is a quality player another one too good for league 1.

[@BCFCRoyalBlue]

Thank you very much for your comment which is greatly appreciated. KRO!

[@JohnBarnes-y1r]

Spot on with your prediction Matt what numbers you had the lottery 😂

[@BCFCRoyalBlue]

Thank you very much for your comment John which is greatly appreciated. He did well with that prediction for sure! KRO!

[@PaulEvans]

Matt, Gary, remember the days when after a game we sat around talking about so and so’s goal or perhaps, how did Gary Sprake drop that!! Now we sit around talking about PSR, how can they afford him! and of course, have you seen his heat map! 😊 How the game has changed and how us fans have evolved. KRO.

[@BCFCRoyalBlue]

Thank you very much for your comment Paul which is greatly appreciated. You are quite right. I often think back to how different things were in the late 70's/early 80's especially at the old St.Andrews. It really is night and day! KRO!

[@nigelpeake9856]

Great prediction Matt hope you bet your bus on it! 😂

[@BCFCRoyalBlue]

Thank you very much for your comment Nigel which is greatly appreciated! 😂KRO!

[@BCFCRoyalBlue]

Thank you very much for your comment Paul which is greatly appreciated. This looks like another quality signing. KRO!

[@michaelstaley2241]

Hi Gary & Matt, not a tremendous game devoid of any atmosphere .. much harder obstacle Saturday, Jay got the all important goal.. interesting about the new left back not heard much about him.. KRO

[@BCFCRoyalBlue]

Thank you very much for your comment Michael which is greatly appreciated. KRO!

[@HB2K-h8m]

Don't think him being a free agent is anything to be worried about. The k league finished in November so he's in the off season. From his interview it sounded like he wanted a new challenge so presumably ran down his contract and then looked at offers. Interesting that we're looking at the k league as a place to find players, we must have a scout out there. Not aware of many other English clubs doing that, Korean players have traditionally gone to Germany (like Son did)

[@BCFCRoyalBlue]

Thank you very much for your comment which is greatly appreciated. I think you are right. His contract came to and end and at 31 he probably thought it was his opportunity to have a new adventure. He does look like a decent player. KRO!

[@scottsvxr]

2nd KRO 💙💙💙💙

[@BCFCRoyalBlue]

Thank you very much for your comment Scott which is greatly appreciated. KRO!

[@KeithWard-dz2yf]

Heat maps? Some of players and teams weve had to watch over the last decade or so, would have been all white or blue the effort ( or lack of it) some of them put in 😂😂

[@BCFCRoyalBlue]

Thank you very much for your comment Keith which is greatly appreciated. That is very true, almost like Ollie Burke's heatmap! KRO!

[@lyndapt2480]

Heat Maps? you're getting a bit technical now. This is Blues you know 😂

[@BCFCRoyalBlue]

Thank you very much for your comment Lynda which is greatly appreciated. I know what you mean! KRO!
