If this transfer happens, I feel he will need to be given time to settle in as will be a big cultural change for a player who has spent his whole career playing in Russia.
From memory the last Russian ish players to do well in England were Kanchelskis and possibly Arshavin. Most others from that part of the world, have pretty much struggled.

Anything like the treatment of Downs and he’ll be all nice and judged within 70 minutes of arrival.

Actually thinking that Downs would benefit from someone in midfield spotting his movement and giving him balls to run on to.
Be good to get this sorted asap so he’s ready to start the legend journey against the enemy from down the road.
 
Looks class!! How do people think we’ll line up if we manage to keep Matty too?

3-4-2-1?

Baz
Ronnie, Stephens, THB
Suga, Downes, Charles, Manning,
Eduard, Matty,
Archer
?

I think that a back four is the way to go, maybe ...

4-1-2-3, it worked well 2 seasons ago

Baz
Bree, Jack/Ronnie, THB, Manning
Charles/Downes
Eduard, Matty
Adarma/Tyler, Stewart/Downs/Archer, Jay/Wee Man

Charles or Flynn as the 6, Matty as the 8 and Eduard as the 8/10.

We should exploit our attacking tools and overrun the oppo rather than have the extra CB.

I like this alot, But Quarshie should be competing for a spot too as should Wood.

Love it! I’d way prefer us to go with more attacking intent too, but not sure if having Matty at 8 is the best position for him. If we get Eduard then it puts in a happy predicament type situation I think!!
 
An Armenian takes his son hunting with him for the first time.

- I don't understand, Daddy, - the son says. - How are you going to hunt? You have no gun with you, no traps, no net even...

- Ah, son, you don't know what our Armenian jinx is like. There, look, a rabbit is sitting under that bush. Such a strong, healthy little rabbit, such shiny fur it has, such bright eyes...

The rabbit drops dead at once.

- Wow, Daddy! That was something! You're so smart, so strong, such a great hunter, it was amazing how you took down that prey... Daddy? Daddy??? Daddy!!!

What?

Shevchenko was decent.

what kinkladze and shevchenko and of course our favourite Marian Pahars.
 
Dribbles the ball very similar to Boufal. What’s promising though is that he looks willing to shoot from distance. We need that badly.

I have a feeling Krasnodar and Spertsyan are dragging their heels a bit though, waiting to see if a better offer comes in.
