Confirmed Signing Vitaliy Mykolenko

[DL100]

….i’m sure everybody wants him to be a huge success, I certainly do but he’s been a bit lost and hasn’t had a good half.

From the clips I saw he looked like he had more pace and physicality than he‘s showing here and that would be my concern.

Fitness probably isn’t fully there tbf to him. Tonight is a run out to get him up to speed.

I don’t think he’s done too bad for his first 45 mins. Only been with the team 5 days or so.

I think thats fair

 

[Bluestar]

I don’t think this game is a real way to judge the lad, he’s playing in a poor team and adapting to life in England and with this side. Based on what I’ve heard, he speaks very little English and I am not sure how many of our lads speak Ukrainian/Russian so his ability to communicate with teammates especially his fellow defenders will take time.

It will be next season before he is settled.

 

[MKEvertonian]

He’s not very good is he

It will be next season before he is settled.

Even if that were true and I am not sure it is, our predicatment is such we cant afford the time to allow someone to 'develop' in the first team.

It's been 45 mins ffs

 

[MKEvertonian]

It's been 45 mins ffs

Was he good?

We have to. It is literally our only choice.

 

[Nymzee]

Was he good?

Well shouldn't you say "he's not playing very well" instead of "he's not very good" then?

One implies form, one implies his overall defined ability.

 

[maccavennie]

Hasn't played for a month due to the winter break.

Gonna need time. Had some sloppy moments but it's about getting minutes in his legs.

He's got forward well, but hasn't defended very well (though he was in the right place at the right time to clear the one off the line)

Foreign players take longer to settle common knowledge, let's give him a bit of a chance eh.

 

[grandjoeblue]

He had a bad half but give him time. Early days.

 

[Kurt.]

Was he good?

To be fair I wrote yer mar off after 45 mins of getting destroyed too

 

[Kev The Rat]

We have to. It is literally our only choice.

If we do, its a major concern for us obviously.

But thats the managers choice.

 

[atypicalusername]

Off the pace but he's been here a week. Give him a chance but he's not stood out today so far. Some signs he might be growing into the game though. Hopefully when he is settled he will be an important acquisition for us.
