feels to me like his parents are sick of him working his ASS off (and JD and probably many others agree)

they want different working hours/format/regulation or a large salary increase

i dont know of many (any?) jobs that "require" you to work 60+ hour week after week

interesting question: how many hours do footballers/other sportsmen train?

Looks to me like he's in excess of 75% chance of ending up back at oz.

The fact that any team bidding for him has to pay oz 200% of his salary in compensation makes him incredibly expensive for any team.

Considering he stands to retain a 140,000,000 contract just by falling back to oz, one would think a team would have to bid at least that to buy him. Which means a whopping 420,000,000 payment to get Jaedong on your team if you are not oz. That's probably more money than your top 4 current players are receiving altogether, and in that situation JD is only getting 140mill of it, which is not a particularly stellar salary.

I guess Paying 100% of his salary and giving a player to oz might be an option, but that's still cripplingly expensive for most teams.

So unless some of the richer teams are only feigning disinterest, I don't see him ending up at anywhere other than oz.

Nononono, it's 200% of his current salary, which is around 60-70 mil. So it takes around 300 mil to acquire him.

Oh ok, that seems more reasonable, the FA system looked somewhat like an unmovable force before.

Still on some of the poorer teams (estro etc) I think 300 mill is about what their top 4 are going to receive anyway, since they tend not to have very top players. I'm not sure any team would be willing to pay more than the salary of t their entire top tier just to get 1 player, even if it's Jaedong, unless they had money to splash around.

Yeah, it's incredibly hard for players to move under this "free" agent system. Where does the extra cash go?

Keep in mind that whomever wins the bidding war has to repay Oz 200% of Jaedongs current salary - while I think teams will still try to acquire him, he's one costly motherfucker T_T


Who get's that money (the 200% that has to be paid.) Does it all go to Jaedong's old team Oz?

I also hope JD will end up with Khan!
So I have Stork, FBH and JD in one team!
That would be so perfect!

I KEEP READING THIS AS JAEDONG AND FORSAKEN ARCHER
Social Justice is a fools errand. May all the adherents at its church be thwarted. Of all the religions I have come across, it is by far the most detestable.
