2025/26 Vitalii Mykolenko

[Charlie Sweet]

Because we have to buy young players who show promise relatively cheaply and hope we can develop them - see Barry.

Sometimes it works out - Braithwaite / Stones, sometimes it doesn’t.

Not sure you're right there. Wasn't Myko meant to be c£25-£20m and Patterson £16m? Both hefty fees for absolutely untried youngsters - for those fees we should have got an awful lot better. Whereas both are technically very limkted and clearly doubts generally about attitude.

let’s not pretend Digne wasn’t a complete defensive liability. The few times he ever was in position he was just waltzed past with ease. Mykolenko had a bad game yesterday but there isn’t half some revisionism over Digne.

I wasn't bothered when Digne went but Mykolenko is a bottom 6 left back.
