2025/26 Vitalii Mykolenko

….not sure of the substance to that given Moyes paired Baines and Coleman for much of their careers.

Moyes has inherited Mykolenko, i wouldn’t be convinced he doesn’t want a better option, he even selected Branthwaite ahead of him recently.
😂😂 - C’mon that was a battle of his favourites when he selected Branthwaite! Wants a better option, zero evidence of that so far.
 
I mean it is relevant. People keep saying he'll only sign 6ft+ full backs, even though there's no history of that...
Well there is a history of playing centre half’s at full back though. Moyes is interested in players 23+ with PL experience. I think it’s pretty straightforward. He wouldn’t have signed Baines without Alan Irvine forcing the issue with him. People are just generally hacked off with his negative approach and offering a new contract to pretty much the worse left back in the league. Big Dunc had it right when he said he was a championship left back.

Again: he has no history of signing 6ft+ full-backs so why is the narrative suddenly that he only will? Because he chooses O'Brien over Patterson/Coleman? Who wouldn't.

Big Dunc also never said that on the train, it was found to be a complete lie, if you believed it you're a fanny.

Can’t answer for other people’s views pal. Bottom line Mykolenko is garbage and we’re wasting money on him which we could be spending on some actual decent full backs.
Btw what’s with the unnecessary insults?!

He's just wages - it doesn't stop us signing another left-back. I will reserve judgment on retaining him until the Summer window shuts.
 
I agree with you on Myklenko but we haven’t extended his contract because of anything political. We’ve simply done it because Moyes is a negative, boring risk adverse manager who puts store in bang average (being generous here) players with premier league experience.
Except it’s not only Moyes is it?

It’s a succession of managers who have seen themselves sacked rather than not persist with this abomination of a player

Why?

No I agree, the difference is all of those other managers had their hands tied financially. So they weren’t in a position to take a loss on selling the player, and we would undoubtedly have taken a big lose because the guy is garbage.
