Transfer Rumour Andriy Yarmolenko

Sky Sources are a myth, I don't even think they have their own.

@Moomin is Sky's number 1 source.

I have not followed this particularly closely but it has the hallmarks of a classic east/west poor/rich negotiation.

Frequently they go like this:

Kiev: we have a wealthy club interested in one of our players. What should we ask for?

Arrive at a figure appropriate for the buyers local market not the seller's local market.

"Wealthy westerner": hmm that seems a little expensive but yes we really want player/asset (delete as appropriate). Tell them it's a deal.

Kiev: "they've accepted our price, we did not ask for enough. Argghhhh Increase the price.

Repeat and continue until westerner/wealthy buyer usually walks away.

I think it's the other way round in this instance, they are the rich party and we are the ones with cap in hand.

Think the chairman for Kyiv is a billionaire.

For now, has the Yarmometer been put back in the dusty cupboard under the stairs ? along with the Moutinhomometer, Shakirimometer, Austinomometer and a pair of BKs' sweaty trainers ?

Unfortunately not, I would not be on the payroll of that old evil crook Murdoch.

I would, the chance to get close to Sawyers norks would swing it for me.

Vault me to oblivion, but I'm still convinced this will happen.

Would he like to buy us then he can move players around with willy-nilly abandon, UEFA rules permitting ?

Er...lads?

Why is this near the top of the threads, we were told it's all off?

Would he like to buy us then he can move players around with gay abandon, UEFA rules permitting ?

Gay abandon in the Ukraine would give Putin the excuse for a full scale invasion. Perhaps you should have said willy-nilly.

No doubt if he was about to buy us and had pledged the money to build us a new stadium Putin would launch a full out invasion of Ukraine and ruin it for us.
