Confirmed Signing Vitaliy Mykolenko

[JimmyK]

absolutely it is. I am fully aware they go hand in hand, but I just don't really care about the finance & re-sale value side of things - I just want to watch a good Everton team.

Same here I agree with you but it's just how it is now I suppose.

It is. If I was employed by Everton to recruit players, then I would have a checklist that potential players have to be ticked against, but as a fan, I just want the best players.

Out of interest what would be on it?

Hes not going to be better than Digne. Maybe in a season or two he can reach those levels. Digne even this season has higher ratings than him but it is what it is. The lad is young and could end up being just as good down the line but Digne will be hard to replace initially. Just hoping that the new fella has attributes that suit Benitez system better and gets us results

Mykolenko will have to be given time to settle, if he is able to speak English then that would be a great help but that is unlikely.

I think if Digne were playing at the top of his game there may not have been a problem,
However in recent months he was neither defending or attacking to a high standard.
I don't mean that as a criticism of a talented player. Everyone goes poor patches during their career.
It probably is financially convenient that he leaves as I

At this stage he isn't replacing Digne at left back, he will be replacing Godfrey... who replaced Digne.

Don't know, haven't thought that far ahead.

Probably -
1. is he better than what we already have?
2. Can we afford him?

That's probably it

3. Has someone checked his hard drive and WhatsApp?

cause the president of dynamo kiyv is a complete idiot, he usually inflates prices very much.
and I'm just shocked how they sold you mykolenko for 22 million euros, and not asked 35 - this is the first time in the last 20 years that you have been lucky. For example, Yarmolenko was sold to Borussia at the age of 28, because the president overestimated the price all the time. the same situation with tsygankov ( Bayern Munich, Tottenham and Athletico have already offered 20-25 millions, but their bids were rejected)

≈20 millions for trubin (inter is very interested)

≈ 15 millions for mudryk +% (Sevilla is very interested)

? for zabarnyi (Chelsea's offer of 15 million was rejected, but if now someone offered 25-30 millions, the president would not have resisted, but again, I think he will stay in the team for at least 3 more years)

This yarmolenko fella, I’m surprised Everton were never linked with him

 

[twoblue]

With a possible war in the Ukraine, it’s is probably a good time to buy. Although I have just vomited a little at how callous I have just sounded

 

[lorens]

There was a lad back in the day called Shevchenko

Don't know what age he was when he went to Milan; but he didn't do too badly in the end...

kakha Kaladze - Georgian defender, now he is the mayor of tbilisi, capital of Georgia.

Everton tried to sign Yarmolenko in the summer of 2015, but then the club failed to agree with Dynamo on the amount of the transfer. dynamo requested 25 million euros for him. Everton expected to carry out the transfer for an amount of 18 million euros.

twoblue, even if a war breaks out here, players will still be overpriced.

 

[lorens]

Why did Zenit sell him?

it is almost impossible to sign a young player from Russia, especially from zenit.

Pabbers,​

prokhin, on the contrary, is a little bit older than zabarnyi.

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

I ain’t got time for Zat pretending he watches Ukrainian footie.

The amount of footy from around the world he supposedly watches and his long winded posts on here he has to be a massive virgin!

*Leicester let one of their aging, better players go for a big fee, replace them with cheaper, hungry, up and coming talent*

Some blues: What a well-run club. Wish we could do that instead of buying 29yr old has beens for 30million

*Everton are letting one of their aging, better players go for a big fee, replacing them with cheaper, hungry, up and coming talent*

Some blues: WHY WE LETTING A SUPERSTAR WHO NONE OF US HAD HEARD OF BEFORE WE SIGNED HIM GO AND SIGNING SOME 22 YEAR OLD NOBODY?? FJHDBHFBHQBABHBQHBFHABHASJDQBDJQA

What do we actually want? Digne still warrants a big fee, and wont in a year or two. This is the perfect time to get rid. Brilliant business by Everton. Credit where credit is due!

Digne warrants a big fee but what he warrants and what we get offered are two totally different things.

I really really wanted us to sign him, he then Ended up at West Ham a few years later, got a couple of worldies in his first few games then disappeared really
