It'll ware off soon, players want too prove a point about AVB but when they cba anymore it'll show how **** and naive his tactics are. He looks like a smug twat too so **** him.
And I hate his voice! Have to turn Talksport off sometimes because Parlours accent gets on my tits during games
Liverpool set to net attacking star Yevhen Konoplyanka from Dnipro LIVERPOOL managing director Ian Ayre was in the Ukraine last night looking to close a deal for Dnipro attacker Yevhen Konoplyanka before the transfer window slams shut tomorrow. By: Paul Joyce Published: Thu, January 30, 2014 0Comments Ukrainian Yevhen Konoplyanka has scored eight goals for the national side in 35 games Ukrainian Yevhen Konoplyanka has scored eight goals for the national side in 35 games [GETTY] The Anfield club was hoping to see off interest from Premier League rivals Tottenham in Konoplyanka, 24, who would cost in excess of £15m. Despite the clinical dismantling of Merseyside rivals Everton on Tuesday night, manager Brendan Rodgers has remained keen to boost his team’s creativity in order to underpin their Champions League challenge. Ayre flew to the Ukraine yesterday to lead the negotiations as Liverpool reacted to the disappointment of being gazumped by Chelsea for Basel winger Mohamed Salah last week by moving onto a fresh target. Konoplyanka, 24, can operate in a variety of attacking positions, on both flanks and behind a striker, and caught the eye for Ukraine during their World Cup qualifying games with England. He scored a stunning long range strike in a 1-1 draw at Wembley in September 2012 and then gave Kyle Walker a torrid evening when operating on the left wing as the rematch ended 0-0 in Kiev 12 months later. Dnipro, coached by former Spurs manager Juande Ramos, have been back in the Ukraine applying for visas for their Europa League match with Tottenham next month and are due to go to Spain today to continue a training camp following a break in their domestic season. Konoplyanko played in a friendly against Videoton last Saturday which Dnipro won 6-1. He scored the second goal and had a hand in another four. The player’s father, Oleg, hinted a deal was in the offing and said: “I do not want to say specifically but the information about a transfer to the English club is true. “He can change club later this week. We do not consider offers from Ukraine.” Although Liverpool are in need of reinforcements in central midfield, Rodgers wants to be able to influence matches by using his substitutes and the arrival of Konoplyanka would allow him to rotate the likes of Philippe Coutinho and Raheem Sterling more often. The arrival of Konoplyanka would add to an attacking armoury that fired the imagination in the 4-0 win over city rivals Everton with Daniel Sturridge scoring twice and Luis Suarez grabbing his obligatory goal after Steven Gerrard had opened the scoring. http://www.express.co.uk/sport/foot...attacking-star-Yevhen-Konoplyanka-from-Dnipro
Read spurs are wanting to hijack the deal on a more reliable site. ****ing if they seriously do, out the door with these negotiators we have!!!!
If that's the case, we should show Plankton the highlight real of the two games they played against City and the game against us.. and wish him all the best!
no hang on... if spurs want to offer 20million or something fine. we are in to do a deal. not to get robbed blind cos spurs are sniffing. do a deal... or not... but i am not for getting robbed by a nothing side and an agent just cos....
Think we're still favourites for this as the deal/negotiations are at an advanced stage. Nothing to stop Spurs coming and making a ridiculous offer but as MITO - we're not here to get robbed blind.
I think we will get a DM this window. Apparently Fallows is in Ukraine and Ayre is in Spain, which happens to be where Rubin Kazan have their training camp set up ... #MVila. Also, Man City are interested in Porto's Fernando and Mangala. Two very good signings. I hate Man City.
in the end... if players cannot see whats going on at spurs... namely players who joined like dempsey or holtby or lamela all exiting and players like loris agitating play a no name in as manager after they sacked the guy who was supposed to be the saviour and next big step... in short a player would be mad. club on the down. chavland step in and offer 5 mil more and 100k per week and the player jumps at it to sit on a bench... tells you EVERYTHING about attitude. As far as i am concerned chelsea have been a sainted benefactor in buying our tosh (what did their buys do after leaving us really?) and then selling us players cheaply too boot... plus they've stepped in and sorted out who's a merc we'd be better off without. Then they appoint mourinho who'd rather cut his own throat than have a player like suarez #not a big lump.
I thought it had been reported that both were still in England and Ukrainian reps are flying over here?
ukraine is not in eu. medical and work permits would need to be done so i can only imagine we have to go to them or some such.
Why don't the f**king vile ****s do their own f**king scouting. Glad they got t**tted last night and glad their player got a straight red for f**k all
Konoplyanka's agent told Gazeta.ua: "When writing about the interest from Liverpool, these people only know part of the truth. "Yesterday, I had a long and productive conversation with the chairman of another English club. The chances of Yevhen moving to England soon are very high. His club might be Liverpool or another English club." Wonderful
If we've travelled its on. if not i assume we are looking elsewhere... or not... who knows. i get the impression this guys agent is loving the attention... I am imagining a guy who's longed for the big time, looks maybe like a fat borat with the meat sweats mopping his brow and massive tash with a sweat stained hankey while talking to everyone who is willing to listen. in the background i see a donkey carrying a load of firewood and the team training on a gravel patch beside a gas works..
Oleg Luzhny says Kono isn't suited to the prem: “I don’t think the English league is right for him,” he is quoted as telling the Ukrainian media. “Konoplyanka’s style of play is better suited to Italy or Spain. The game in England is totally different. It’s about power -- you have to run back and forth, back and forth. You run at speed up and down, and it’s like that for 90 minutes. “I saw how he played in the [World Cup qualification playoff] second leg against France, when Ukraine lost 3-0, and he was like a headless chicken. “It is a completely different level. When you play in the Ukraine, you can afford not to run. In the match against France, it was evident that Konoplyanka barely runs at all. Konoplyanka is a good player, but he is suited to Spain or Italy, not England.”
