Same page someone is just playing with his wiki page. Now says: Yevhen Olehovych Konoplianka is a footballer for Liverpool F.C. He also is a Garlands regular who free keys of MCAT to anybody in that back bit if the bouncers aren't looking. Also goals back to 5 in 16 games (12 starting) and something like 3 assists.
Just put the phone down to my proverbial mate. 1. Is Konoplyanka happening? - Yes. Almost certain. 2. Is he any good? - He's decent. If he was superb, he wouldn't be at a Ukrainian club at 24 yrs old. I suppose that's a fair point, but decent to my mate = well above the norm, so maybe a good signing. He's always wanted a winger, but he can play across the front three, apparently. Everything's fine with Sturridge and Rodgers, by the way. That is all.
So £15mill on Mr. Colonplonka...(hope he's good)how much would that leave for a DM? Colonplonka may be the best winger in the world left unsold... but he's not really what we need- as exciting a prospect as he may or may not be. (don't know enough to judge).
I had to wiki check he was indeed from the Ukraine as I suspected and have been reliably informed he's a " Lithuanian origin Ukrainian-born Russian". That's cleared that up then He was born in Swindon and raised on the plains of Africa by hyenas.
Dave Fallows is the one in Ukraine who will be conducting the negotiations. Could that mean Ayre/Hogan are working on other deals? ...
Sky Sports reported it. And apparently Ayre was taken off transfer dealings after the Mkhitaryan fiasco, and Hogan took over. Not sure if this is 100% true ...
What was the name of that crap Serbian player who played left wing a few years back? I just feel that's what he will be like, hope not though.
You mean 100K a week Milan Jovanovic? If the price is 15 mil, then there at least has to be a good faith that he will be good, come good. But still........ no CM? no RB? Feels he can address those two better in the summer? Maybe a trick up the sleeve in that department?
