Oh Hi, Bill.
Can you give us an update on the transfer please?
Oh you're getting vaulted alright.....................Covering for @Bungle whilst he sleeps..... Ukraine Airlines flight number 111 arrives in Gatwick at 11.55am today. No storms to delay or divert it. Plenty of connections up to the North West.
Big, televised game versus the potential champions....perfect exposure for a high profile announcement to give the Board some relief after the plane episode at Southampton....even the most backward of Boards would not want to miss out on such an opportunity.
It's definitely on. Vault me.
Done and dusted.
Seriously, do you not think that's great business if it's done? Credit where credits due in my opinion, just like stick where sticks due. Whatever our views on the boards overall performance if this comes off they've done a decent job of it.
Haha thanks,
In seriousness, it would be a cracking signing. But unfortunately one cracking signing doesn't make up for years of non-investment and stagnation. This is more for the board thread though...
Can't wait to see Yarmolenko on the big screens at half time today... *prays*
what the hell are you wittering about...18-19m for a player who has played exceptionally well domestically and internationally and who was the stand out player in last season's Europa league, sounds about right to me mate - makes me chuckle though when our fans are saying 30m for coleman, 40-50m for stones, 50m for Barkley etc etc etc and we got 28m for Felli, and this guy were wobbling like a errrmwomble about paying less than what he is really worth at 18-19m
He's got less than a year left...For a big, strong winger/forward that knocks them in for fun with his left against anyone and everyone, averaging a goal every other game and doesn't speak a word of english?
See virtually every other winger bought by a PL club for comparison. For example, that kopite Lazar Markovic, he cost way above £20m. Another comparison i guess is for Willian, another right winger from ukraine that cost £32m, several years ago. Even Tadic, from Twente, was like £15m.
It's just the market rate, like. I will still be proper chuffed if we make it with this one, even though it all remains to be seen once he starts playing games.

We have a winner
He's got less than a year left...
Just a thought.....a high profile signing, indeed the Ukraines version of a Beckham or Ronaldo, comes to Ebepton for a comparatively high fee and it makes national news over there outside if the normal sports news....that surely opens the way for a new generation of Ukranian Blues. On top of that I'd suspect there will be some very rich Ukranian businessmen thinking there's a few bob to be made in the EPL.....possible route in for a new owner, or just Sunday morning fantasy?
