2022/23 Vitalii Mykolenko

…..i like the lad lots but I’ve posted my concerns since I first saw him.

To think some on here think the Manager who got rid of Digne was brilliant in the transfer market.

Absolutely criminal - one of the few attacking outlets we had and sold for this. Worst case of cutting nose off to spite face I can remember seeing in football.

if he joins Ukrainian army, imagine him passing the rifle to the enemy just he does with the ball at his feet.

….be careful, @4737carlin thinks he was a bit of a genius.

 

[Blueclouds]

Hopefully the new manager puts him on the bench

 

[banno]

Awareness, passing and attacking are not his strong points. He is OK when he is actually close to a player but his defending of far post is non-existent

Personally I thought Digne had been poor for a while, his good crossing had totally dried up before Benitez even got here, honestly. The failure is replacing him with Mykolenko for an insane fee and then removing every single drop of creativity in the entire team. That's made us remember Digne more fondly because he provided that in spades when he was good.

Fraud player just like the Ukraine government.

Terrible at going forward

Yep. Swindled money out of us like Z. and his cronies have done to governments worldwide.

 

[Leylo]

He is absolute cow dung

That same amount of Money could have gotten us Aaron Creswell who would have been better.

Ultimately we replaced one player for another player who was much worse. A monumental act of self harm…that’s it. Regardless of what you thought of Digne.

Will be remembered as one of the 4 reasons we got relegated

 

[Alan0401]

He is honestly fighting for the position as the worst player in the team and therefore, by default, in the league.

Agree. Mykolenko's lack of offensive output is making people remember late-stage Digne more fondly than they should. His form had been poor for quite a while before he was sold.

That doesn't justify replacing him with a guy who's just not good enough for this level, but selling Digne in and of itself wasn't that idiotic of a move.

 

[dublinbluenose]

The blank space left on the pitch when he came off played better than him.

What are the other three?

Gray, Iwobi, Gordon?
