Let's get Tom Huddlestone instead of Yarmolenko

 

[allen]

but born in what is now Ukrainian territory.

* Subject to change.

I love how people know these things..

Well it's usually due to the fact Martinez said he wanted two players and specified their positions and it didn't include a striker.

 

[SerenityNigh]

So an example of shotgunning.

"Everton will sell Stones, Chelsea/United/City interested, £30m+ will be enough. #EFC"

So in that, they've not give a time frame, so it can apply all summer long. They've listed multiple likely clubs, to increase the chance of a hit. And they've been vague on the fee, so that any fee above that is "right".

That's pretty much what every saddo on Twitter does.

Oh, so like Davek in the board thread, eh?

I think you're making excuses for them all tbh.

Milan took him back and didn't want him to leave...

Rebrov was a very tidy player and looked good in Europe. Just struggled here, badly.

Arshavin was a hefty fee and big wages and done nothing to justify them..

Smertin did get a look in and struggled.

You'd be hard pressed to name 10players from that part of the world who've had a decent impact on a big league in Europe

 

[Foot Long Hot Dog]

Has he signed yet?

Any planes flying in from Kiev?

No-one served him room service in the Crowne Plaza?

Meh.

From the Everton forum:

14m fee agreed on Friday, personal terms being sorted. Belived to want 75k which is within reach.

 

[Coffee and TV]

They also think Stones is nailed on to leave too.

They did hedge their bets though by saying "we hope the guy telling us this is off this time" or something like that.

I remember checking club call on teletext nightly, I almost shat myself when Everton were the headline one night with:
WEAH! WEAH! WEAH! WEAH! WEAH!

was just thinking this the other day when someone was moaning about twitter rumours. Was about 13 years old at the time and it was the only time I ever rang clubcall. Think it was a painfully slow recorded/computer voiced message suggesting we were tracking Weah. I knew it was jarg but sometimes you just cling onto any hope.

Haven't got a clue how much it cost but i don't think my parents were too impressed when they got the phone bill.

Andrei Kancheiskis was Ukranian, #philistines!

want to be accurate mate he was born in the USSR to Lithuanian parents

 

[bluestevon]

Played for the many incarnations of the Soviet Union. But Ukraine after independence failed to get recognition to play in major tournaments (1994) so their best players played for the Soviet successors in the hope of playing in a World Cup or Euros. Ukraine started at Faroe Islands level (euro 96)

Was completely unfair as the soviets inherited the CSSR coefficent despite the team that did amazingly well in euro 88 feilded almost 11 Ukranian players.

Kancheiskis is Ukranian though.

In short Ukraine are boss.

Both his parents were Lithuanian mate, so yeah pure Ukranian

 

[bluestevon]

Indeed - Soviet Union/Russia international, but born in what is now Ukrainian territory.

to Lithuanian parents

Phantom bids AOTS

 

[Neiler]

Just to mention Ukraines all time record goalscorer is:

Andriy Shevchenko with 49 goals in 111 caps

Guess who's second with 19 goals in 49 caps.
