So the transfer wang was definitely out then? He's getting a cheeky old sod with age is our Chairman, but I like him. Wonder what the people of Kiev made of it?

kvedomosti.com/57751-yarmolenko-mechtaet-o-chelsi.htmltranslates to "Yarmolenko dreams of "Chelsea" The leader of the "Dynamo" Andriy Yarmolenko decided on the first option to continue a career. The British edition of the «Metro» informs about the struggle for the 25-year-old midfielder Andriy Yarmolenko - Ukrainians in their ranks want to see the "Chelsea" and "Liverpool", his word is trying to say and middle of the Premier League, "Stoke City". It was learned that representatives of the "Potter" arrived in Ukraine with a specific proposal on Yarmolenko - "Stoke City", who lost the race for Yevgen Konoplyanka, it offers "Dynamo" 20 million euros. Himself Ukrainian inclined to move into the "Chelsea", where its position at the "aristocracy" plenty of skilled performers. Yarmolenko prefer to go to the club, won the right to speak in the group stage of the Champions League. In this case, Ukrainian champion certainly interested in the proposal of France, "PSG" and vice-champion of Italy "Roma". However, while representatives of the League 1 and Serie A is not particularly also active in the struggle for the leader of the "Dinamo", giving the initiative to the British club. See also: Yarmolenko interesting "Chelsea" and "Liverpool" The approximate transfer of Andrei Yarmolenko replenish the budget "Dynamo" for 26 million euros. Thus, a graduate of the club will be the most expensive footballer in the history of "white-blue" ...." I have this awful feeling we're being used again. Why would Chelsea or psg want him? Is he better than Willian and cuadrado? Probably not... He's much better actually!

Interesting comments from Hughesy.
Still think we need another CM, but a right winger is a must.

Thought there was some substance to it.
If we are to stand half a chance, we have to lay out our "platform to a bigger club" credentials to someone like Yarmo.
His previous comments are clear that he would jump at Chelsea for e.g. but, as far as I can see, there is no spot for him there (?) apart from a Delph-esque bench role maybe.
So, if there is any solace in losing Bego and SNZ to bigger clubs, this is it: proof that we are a realistic & viable platform for them to get PL experience and we get an amazing player, even if they are just passing through for however long.
And in the meantime, we can but hope that he falls in love with chasey oatcakes.

This is strange. They didn't do this for Shaq or Kono, maybe they believe he could be coming? Or they are trying to hide someone else?

Yes very strange.
But who could we be hiding?

We desperately need a right winger who offers something different. We look neat and tidy without having that x-factor. I appeciate Bojan will help and Arnie looks bang in form but for me we need more from the right.

If we get him expect see hundreds of young potters with their socks pulled above their knees. Would he be the first Stoke player to do this? It's the sort of thing Bojan Mackey would perv over.

This guys got more swag than Arnie so these two on the same pitch would be quite a sight.

As you say, it could just be a case of reporting what has been said in the press conference, but out of everything said, they decide to give Yarmolenko a headline of his own. It would have made more sense to sneak it into a summary of the press conference.

Don't thing we should read too much into the article from the club website.

Maybe the club have realised just how shit their website is and have decided to bring some Oatcake propaganda to the table, so more people will be bothered to actually go on there.

I know Odem has only recently returned from a major injury, but considering his age, I have seen nothing that suggests he is even close to his best.
SJW might be a workhorse, but we can't rely on him for a whole season.
We do require someone on the right and I'm afraid Odem will have to make way in the squad.
Diouf on the right is a total non-starter, as is Cameron, Shotton or even Delap.

Also, if you consider that a clear upgrade on all these (think Yarmo over SJW on the wing for e.g.), then you are taking serious coin for each of the three positions & huge contract implications.
I'd back PC to fund one (& suspect he might even be driving the winger, driven by fond memories of Sir Stan) but not, perhaps, x3 (this next season anyway) of the sufficient upgrade we're (I'm) talking.
