"Park Chu-Young will be released by Arsenal once he finishes his Army boot camp in South Korea, it has emerged.
The striker, who spent last year on loan at Spanish side Celta Vigo, made just six appearances during his short stay at the club, scoring his only goal against Bolton in the League Cup.
Gunners executives went as far as writing off £5.5million in their accounts to cover the wages of the transfer flop."

He must have been a marketing player. Is it any coincidence that his one Premier League appearence came against United when it'd have been watched by millions in Asia?

easily the weirdest signing Arsenal have ever made....
I just cannot fathom how it all happened the way it did!!
I was actually at a game where he scored a beautiful goal...may have been the league cup.

Embarrassing when he came on against United.

possibly, it was an Henry esque right footed curling shot into the top right of the goal...
I know a fan of football should not say this, but I go to so many games they start to blend into each other...

£5.5 million written off? So that's like all of the income for the first home league game of the season just gone up in smoke.

We would have trebled what we bought him for in shirt sales in Asia alone.....so it's not a loss at all

I was at that Carling Cup game when he scored! Brilliant goal. Thought it was going to become a regular.......
