With all the crap that's going on in the Ukraine at the moment, why don't we try our luck with some of the players there. They might want out.
Dynamo Kiev and Shakhtar Donetsk still have some quality players. Douglas Costa, Fernando, Alex Teixeira, Jeremain Lens, Dragovic just to name but a few. What do you think?
I already see we've been linked with Belhanda. Don't think I've seen much of him, so can't comment on this being a good buy.

I checked out a YouTube video on Belhanda and he did look a bit special - An attacking Midfielder than can play either left, right or in the centre behind the main sticker - Has an eye for goal, takes players on and has good pace!

Kiev is a long way from the troubles. Dragovic however might be a good signing at cb.

Belhanda was much more highly rated when he was at Montpellier in the same team where Remy Cabellla played until recently. However unlikely to move as he would command massive wages.

good idea!. just a bit pointless as it won't happen since the fans don't choose who the club buys

Just like to ask Psychosaint regarding Van Dijck, you say he would be good cover. For who?


6.) 06 Aug 2014
Yeah, let's kick the Ukrainians whilst they're down.

Maybe not so much of a back up at the moment as we don't have any centre backs. If rojo came possibly rojo and fonte if we play a back 3 rojo fonte and Virgil although vlar would be quality.

Fernando already off to city

What about konepolankya or however you spell it, good player

The Fernando City have signed was from Porto. If they signed the one from Shaktar they would then have Fernando, Fernando and Fernandinho which is just ridiculous.

Fernando Lucas Martins plays for Shaktar. City bought 'the octopus' Fernando Francisco Reges known for his insane interceptions. The octopus is the better CDM atm but has 5 years on the one FLM who is only 22. Would be a good buy as he has bags of potential however would be costly and we do not need any more midfielders. CB and attackers only now please after this Forester deal

Also as if you would talk about the Ukrainian league and not mention konoplyanka or yarmolenko. I'd take either of them. We need some decent wide players

Still think I would prefer Ron Vlaar coming here as he is used to playing in the Premier League. Rojo may be a great player but it's a different world in the PL to the league he currently plays in. It is a great deal of money with no guarantees it will actually work out.

I reckon we should go for Fabian Schar, Dragovic's ex team mate? Looked good for Switzerland!
