Like everyone on this board, beyond the YouTube compilations I’ve never seen him play. But i can confidently say he’ll be the best player in this league.
With Sunderland signing Isidor on a permanent deal in January 2025 from Zenit, I'd be surprised if dealing with Russian clubs is now a no (obviously not talking about the morality of it, that's for the other thread).
His free kicks are ridiculous. But he's also forward thinking and great on the ball. He's pretty much a much better and more attacking version of JWP.
Yeah, calling bullshit on that story above. Lawyers will have been poring over it for weeks by now, it wouldn't still be going if the lawyers were telling them to stop
Yeah there is no way it would have gone on this long if there was an issue with sending money to Russia. It was basically the first thing everyone on this and other forums pointed out as soon as there was a link. And we aren’t experts in this area
Isn’t that just the same story from the other bloke who said the deal was off as we couldn’t send them money?
It feels wild that the media outlets and former players are apparently doing this. Is it really just because we are in the championship ?
Probably, thought it was the guy the Armenian account was getting info from but think I'm mistaken about that.
This really is becoming a true saga. Just to back up what others have said, according to the Spanish paper El Pais, Krasnodar's owners aren't (or weren't in 2023) subject to sanctions. They've already sold a player to Espanyol in Spain as well, with the payment apparently going into a third party account in Europe. https://english.elpais.com/sports/2...ions-in-player-trades-with-russian-clubs.html
