That was Luk

Nobody ever came in for him or nobody ever bought him? What age was Shevchenko when he moved to Milan?

Roughly the same age I think. Shameful that you had to point that out really.

Ah I see-saw a headline on IT website but didn’t read the article.

Mick McCarthy has been trumped to the signing of Kevo Doyle by 'Arry it seems.

Berbatov to Monaco

@Bisto it looks like you are right pal, Brendan Rodgers said he wanted a big name signing, it seems Ayre misunderstood the brief and went after Yevhen Konoplyanka.

Gary Neville reckons he is a good player, a real threat even, but Ukranians are real home birds and the question for Gary is whether he can settle into a new way of life.

That certainly remains to be seen, Gary, but the story promises to take a host of twist and turns yet as the day progresses.

was that on the back of him and Rebrov ( :wink: ) running amok in the group stages of champions league for a few seasons ?..

really? …was it around the same time his strike partner rebrov moved to spurs for £11m ? …

You tell me, you’ve spent the last 5 minutes googling it.

badly exposed…

What are you talking about? That’s nothing to do with anything. You can be a good player and play in Ukraine when you’re 24. They’re not mutually exclusive.

i’m not saying that…i’m saying you are comparing him to Shevchenko when for a start the latter had way more of a track record from standing out in champs league and not just ukranian league…is that really hard to grasp??..

No, I’m reiterating the point that his age isn’t relevant to him being overpriced because he’s neither too old nor too young to command a big fee. You seem to think he’d have left Ukraine long before 24 if he was good. I’m saying that’s not always the case. You’re still arguing the point for some reason.

Voronin legacy worries me. He may not adapt to life by the Mersey. The fans over there absolutely hated him
I thought he was alright

I’m saying 16m or 20m is a lot for a 24 year old who has only ever played in ukranian league and a few games in Europa league…sorry for having a different opinion than you , you complete control freak…

Holtby to Fulham.

He is a regular international player also.

Boring.

as an Irishman you should know how misleading that can be…
