Nixon says medical is done and terms are agreed... So what does that leave? Him extinguishing hope of a big fish coming in at the 11th hour? Alan Nixon@reluctantnickois the player actually up for coming or is this another pie in the sky e.g. Shaqiri in Jan? Done terms. Had medical.

Season hasn't even been finished a week and we could have two in That being said, I take everything Nixon says with a giant shovel of salt.

I haven't read this thread once until today. Nixon saying terms agreed and had medical? Sounds very promising. Would love to get this signing completed.

He better sign before he goes off on his hols! We don't want him to change his mind when he's had more time to think about it.

For Stoke fans that haven't got access to The Sun, story from yesterday stated Konoplyanka underwent his medical at the weekend, in Dnipro.

Alan Nixon@reluctantnicko so what is there left to do? Or is he holding out for a bigger club perhaps? Sign the contract also how accurate are the 100k wage demands? Not that high. But very very big. Konoplyanka 100% had medical? If so, are we expecting Stoke to announce soon? Sounds all but done to me. Stoke went over there to give him a medical. Only way of doing it. That was in story at start of week. Devil in detail so we should expect this to be signed and sealed pretty soon then? No reason to hold it up now.

No new stories on the official site today.
I always hope they're holding something big back when they seem quiet...then it turns out to be prize draw winners!
Fingers crossed this time!

Thing that concerns me slightly is that it is jus one source, usually there'd be a lot more by now if it is that medical and terms sorted.

I've only seen this guy, on TV,3 times now. not set the world on fire in any of those games
Clearly quick & great control,crossing seems poor although playing on the right/crossing with his right may help with this. If we do sign him AND Moses (both seem likely at the moment) & assuming Arnie is staying then one of them has to play on the right predominantly?
Not seen enought to form a firm opionion though - players have to be supershyte or superamazing to judge that quick imho -
His reputation is high generally. Looking forward to seeing him in a Stoke shirt.

IF it happens then I expect it to be announced, hopefully, tomorrow.
Stoke love a Friday announcement.

His publicist/agent is doing a terrible job of it if we're being used, like Bayern said, there's been very little media reporting on it. Look at Remy, it was made very public that he was here - Sky cameras there, the lot. We didn't even get a passing mention last night on the commentary for the Europa final about being in for him, did we? Media haven't got hold of it at all.

Maybe because it isn't happening?

You could well be right, of course. I'm choosing to believe it is

Maybe they are giving him time to get over and home from losing in a major European final....just a thought
No rush if all the paperwork is done and in place, he maybe wants a few days to say his goodbyes and pack before arriving in Blighty for press etc?

Konoplyanka has won the Ukrainian player of the year award three times in the last five years, ahead of Yarmolenko (who I presume won it the other two times!). He has looked very impressive for the Ukraine when I have seen him, less so for Dnipro in European games. He is quick, skilful, two footed, has a great shot on him, is entering his prime years as a footballer and is wanted by several top clubs. As a winger, he is likely to be a bit hit and miss, but is a potential match winner on his day.
If we sign him, I will be ecstatic.
