The first of our pre-season episodes takes a look at the notable transfers made thus far and how they are set to improve the sides who signed them.   Having eaten ourselves silly over Christmas, The K League United Podcast returns to the training ground packing a little holiday weight that it looks set to burn off in what have become our annual pre-season series.   Matthew Binns returns and looks set to put seasoned regular Michael Redmond and new signing Zeno Jo through the drills as we get ready for the campaign ahead. This episode we take a look at the transfers that have taken place so far and pick out our most notable signings of the window so far.   There's even time for a mailbag focusing on new boys Cheonan City and Chungbuk Cheongju, in addition to what is going on on Jeju Island.   All this and more on this pre-season edition of The K League United Podcast.
