Confirmed Signing Vitaliy Mykolenko

[nikom court]

digne is playing sh!2e because he has no competition!
sign some competition,
why are we signing a left back nobody has ever heard of ?

 

[Noisy noise annoys]

So sell someone else like I dont know Richarlison then, and spend the equivalent on an unknown replacement

And the age arguement - which is about the only arguyment you could makewith this one - wont be able to be played with that one either.

Mate, we’ve been stuck with over aged, over paid and under performing players for yonks and we’ve all known it. Digne not been up to it defensively and now attacking wise due to formation change for about 18 months. Do you suggest we keep him, perhaps extend his contract and end up in the same boat we have been knackered by fir about 10 years ?!!!

 

[Yarrgh]

That's more like it. He'll slot in like he's been here for years.

 

[nsno-chris]

Well that looks promising

Agree with all that, but not at 20m pounds

That's far too much on a punt

True. But if the reports are correct and it's spread across the duration of his contract it could be £4-5m per year.

The fact the club have acted so fast on this one gives me confidence that they back his ability. Although without knowing who's the driving factor behind completing the deal, i'm a little nervous.

Finally buy someone before Jan 31st and ppl still arnt happy

 

[Noisy noise annoys]

thats right, no one has heard of him.

An uncontroversial opinion.

Yeh, remember players like fellaini, and pienaar ? No one knew them either
It’s a daft reason to rule out a player unless you have an agenda of course….

I'm always nervous any time we spend £10m or more these days. Until we get two or three right then I'm going to be a bit worried.

Not really, it's a very normal reaction.

We are letting go of a proven decent player in this league and replacing them with a relative unknown for 20m. It's a huge amount of money for someone very unproven. I'm in favour of these sort of signings by and large, but the fee makes me worry a lot. We may not even get that much for Digne now he's been frozen out.

Completely fair. Not got a great track record but I choose to go down this stubbornly optimistic road that he'll work out well. I think it's cause I like his name tbh.

He has #EFCDNA

People aren't happy mate because we are selling one of our best players because fat man is a stubborn jerk, instead of using that money on positions we've needed for a long time, like a RB?

 

[nsno-chris]

In an ideal situation, Lucas should be moved on in the summer with this lad spending the best part of 6 months becoming accustoming to the league, lifestyle, teammates etc etc

That’s how the squad should be managed. The same for others who are approaching peek value.

I just don’t trust fat arse with cash

It’s mad, our fans have been crying out for these under the radar signings and also for getting rid of players who’s value is dropping. We do exactly that and they still moan
