Positional sense is key for exciting star Bae

I CAN understand if there is transfer talk about Bae Junho this summer because, if I was a scout, I would recommend him to my manager.

As our player, I wouldn't want to let him go - we've just got to work his brain a little bit more.

Junho is a naturally gifted worker and he's a player who will give you passion and effort.

That's the kind of character you want in your team.

But sometimes enthusiasm gets the better of him.

That's not always a bad thing but positional sense is really important.

You have to be in the right place at the right time, whether your team is attacking or defending, and that's what he needs to work on with his coaches.

As a coach, I'd like to work with him. He's a worker with good technical and athletic ability and it's up to the coaches to get the best out of him, to teach him where he needs to be in different scenarios and to nurture his game understanding.

We saw it a couple of times in the spring where he was able to dash into the penalty area to link up with play on the right, scoring one from doing that and forcing a good save another time.

It's not just in the box but in the mid-third and back third as well, making the right decisions if he gets the ball 25 yards from his own goal.

He's still learning.

He's had less than a couple of years in England and he's had four different managers, dozens of different team-mates and a load of different voices.

There's still an absolute decision to be made about his best position, where he is going to feel most comfortable so we can get the best out of him.
