Konoplyanka is likely on his way OUT of Schalke!

[slother]

Konoplyanka during a web-conference with Schalke fans:

"I assume that the coach stays. He called me, spoke with such a smile: "Zhenya, I see you want to play." I looked at him: "What, seriously, have you only now realized this?". He said that I should better find another club. And I told him: "Listen, do you think you will stay here longer than me?".
I would've asked him even more questions. If you want to release a person who was bought for 15 million, then you need to give more explanations and we must somehow part.
And he called me to speak for a minute, when I was leaving home(to Ukraine). And why it was impossible to talk before about it? It's cowardly, he's a coward, I will not hide it. And he will not stay in this team, I wish him this. Otherwise, "Schalke" will play in the second league.
I tell to the director: "Explain at least the reason. Why? What are you doing to me? What am I doing here at all? Why did I come here?" How can a sports director not know the problem? And the one who doesn't put me in the team, I don't even want to mention his name. How? And it's not only I say - but half a team. He took and separate us, we don't have one team. 11 people play and two can be - the elder brother and godfather."

tl;dr: Weinzierl tells Konoplyanka, who has just been bought permanently, to find a new club as he goes on vacation to Ukraine. Konoplyanka says he is a coward and accuses him of dividing the team into cliques.

No. Not again. I can't take it

I never got him when he was meant to be good and then he's failed wherever he's been.

Stambouli is available from them. I'd take him.

Average player with a massive ego. No thanks.

Could he wind up at West Brom?

I get the impression he could wind up anybody

[maninasuitcase]

A must for wet sham then.

Konoplyanka still has his 3rd party owner so any deal to England will have problems hence him going Spain who seem to get past it.

Don't need another right footed left winger.
