Yevhen Konoplyanka [Sevilla]

[Tribute]

We should be all over him for that, even if it's a punt.

'Konopunter' then...

West Ham can't say much about the player if only west ham have bid for him

Yep, who the **** did they get them donkeys Carroll and Downing from?

Considering some of the fees flying around he's got to be worth a go at that price, exciting player and we'd likely get most of it back if he didn't work out.

Kono would have been a good call in January but it seems that Markovic is seen now as a better alternative.

I hope we are pursuing a right player as we are about to spend almost twice as much on Lazar as Kono could cost.

So he's another one who's being lured by the bright lights of London. It can't have anything to do with the style of football they play if he was to go there.

[Cormack74]

Wasn't fat Sam given an ultimatum that the style of play had to improve?

[BobTheCharmer]

So he's another one who's being lured by the bright lights of London.

Its always been the case with foreign players. The lure of the capital. One of if not the best in Europe. Thankfully its one the reasons that Utd didn't sign a host of the top names over the years.

Verified by a mod on rawk. Make of that what you will....

Before I go any further, I want to put into context my connections to Yevhen Konoplyanka. A number of mods are well aware of my background and I’ve had their permission to start this thread.

Some time ago, I managed a team for a short while that had Yevhen Konoplyanka on their books. I can’t take any credit for signing him as he was pretty much a complete unknown at the time. The guy who did sign him was bold enough to tell me he would be a better player than Kenny Dalglish.

The match in which he really showed me his potential status in the game was actually his debut. We were losing going into the final minutes of the match and not looking like changing the result. I decided to pull off the star of the team (a number 10 who was regarded with Pele-like adulation by people around the club) and bring on Konoplyanka. It was a decision that baffled everyone watching, and I could hear people asking “Who?” as he made his entrance. He went on to completely change the outcome of the match and we won from a seemingly impossible situation.

I messaged my old friend a couple of days ago to say I hoped Dnipro get through their Champions League qualifiers as it’d be good to see them play at Anfield. The reply caught me by surprise… “You might see me in Liverpool before then!!!” When I questioned him, he said, don’t worry, it’ll all come out in the next couple of weeks.

So his friend is going to Liverpool?!

He's got a good deal with RyanAir and going to the Beatles museum.

Pairing with Lukaku

I fancy possible interest if Dnipro get knocked out prior to the group stages. Otherwise, it's a non starter.

I fancy most Dnipro players will be looking for an exit route given the current **** in that area. After all football players always look after number one. Who'd want to play in a club where a civil war is being fought?

[baitman]

as they all want out maybe we could slip in a cheeky bid, say 3-4m.

but only if they chuck in a left back and a right back.
