Yevhen Konoplyanka [Sevilla]

Rodgers has 486 pages

but he was signed!

[Helios Creed]

That was the rumour a few weeks back.

Even Spurs are not interested.

Got to be something up if one of the decent teams is not after him.

wasn't he MOM in the UEFA Vase final?

[frank the tank]

His agent must be looking for silly wages....

However, you would like to think that a deal could be reached whereby we give him a signing on fee of, say £1m, at the start of every season and then pay him something like 65 / 70k a week as well.

Considering he is on a free transfer, i am shocked that he hasn't been signed by anyone yet.

To be honest, he would be worth signing just to piss the Dnipro club owner off after he passed up on the £12m or whatever and blocked his transfer deadline move 18 months ago.

[Fosterbloke]

Surely we'd be going back there? It's not like he's turned **** like?

[DannyMan2006]

I think if we sell Sterling we will sign this lad.

You think on a free we'd be in for him regardless

I suppose it depends if we need that type of player. At the moment I'd say we don't since we have Sterling, Lallana, Markovic, Ibe & Coutinho. Not to mention countless youngsters in similar positions who did really well last season.

If we get him on a free & he's better than lets say Markovic or Lallana, we could sell the inferior player in January for a fee yeah. And that's assuming Sterling stays & hits form again. We should be all over this.

[Gazzla]

This kinda sums up our scattergun approach to transfers under the current set up, 18 months ago Ayre was camped in Dinipro with £16m for this kid now he's avaliable for nothing and we're not interested.

[redmike65]

Targets change as others come and go. Maybe the emergence of Ibe plus signing Markovic simply means they are no longer interested even on a free.

[Vermilion]

It's the choice of clubs he seems to have that's the thing, does no decent sized club want him, to the extent he'd consider Stoke ?

Did we nearly waste another **** load of cash on him, and were saved from ourselves by a greedy agent?!

I think certain players have to be bought at certain times. Maybe 18 months back we had a feeling that if he came & kicked on we'd have a quality player, but maybe since then he's stagnated and not worth the bother.

Personally, I think he looks to be worth a punt. Star man in a team that reached the Europa final, I think he's shown he's ready for the next step. Even when clearly known to be a bit one footed and despite being the teams main focal point, he still starred. Sign of a good player that imo.

[frank the tank]

i agree. i would definately sign him.....and yer man Yarmolenko as well to be honest....

in reality we aren't going to be able to sign Reus.......so someone like this is the next best thing - a talented player, who has the potential to get a lot better, and is available on a free transfer - so if it goes tits up then we can get our signing fees back at least!!!

For me it is a no-brainer. I can see him going somewhere like Newcastle and then turning out to be awesome and going to be a £27m squad player at Chelsea or City.

[DannyMan2006]

If Sterling went I'd be straight on the phone. In fact I'd be asking him to hang tight and say he's in as soon as we flog Raheem.

[Irishnev]

Off to Sevilla apparently - apparently had his medical yesterday
