2025/26 Vitalii Mykolenko

We shouldn't be settling for one of the worst players on the ball in the entire league starting every week. Him and O'Brien are killing our build up play but at least the latter has the excuse of being a centre half.
If we had another myko at rb, and obrien at cb where he belongs, we would be in European places now with a few more points on the board. Is he the best lb, no...could we get better, perhaps, but that would cost a lot of money we dont have...we paid 9 millions for a player that is not even close in getting minutes at lb.
 

Like McNeil has left foot syndrome. It makes him way too predictable on the ball because he favors his left foot so much. Probably the biggest hindrance in him getting down the field to be honest.
 

He offers nothing going forward wish is key at this level and can defend but i wouldn’t necessary call him solid. He is at best a decent back up.

You’d think moyes will be asking Kinner to find some money for a RB in Jan…so i doubt we see a new LB till summer.

Also his contracts up in Summer so they have a decision to keep or get rid. I doubt he’s on top wages, won’t get a move to a bigger club so doubt he asks for outrageous wages.

For me he is a signing from a previous regime who wouldn’t be signed under TFG same as McNeil who i think goes in Jan or Summer

Truffert flying at Bournemouth, cost less than Mykolenko

Diouf who ripped us apart last week was 16mil

I’m sure we can find someone. Aznou is probably sound Moyes is just being a virgin over him

Out of interest, how is truffert ‘flying’? Because he got an assist this weekend?
 
Just meant I’m sure he’s overplaying the lack of readiness for a player schooled by Barcelona and Bayern Munich
Well he fumbled or tripped over the ball about 5 times on his short debut, in a friendly, so it might be eagerness, it might be lack of experience/playtime, but for once I'm siding a bit more with Moyes on this. I think he's probably hoping easing him in will be better in the long run and will result in a calmer player, but I also get the frustration from the fact the other option is limited.

Also playing for Bayern/Barca academies means you win and dominate most games anyway. He's played about 20 min of first team football for Bayern and he didn't participate in a win for his stay at Valladolid (not due to him, they were just atrocious).
