Is it possible to put 2 offers on the table to Yarmolenko along the lines of: > Sign before end of July and get paid 100k per week (so he commits early but wont be able to shop around for best club) > Sign before end of August and get paid 70k per week Not sure it will necessarily work but it might force his hand to sign rather than know we are always waiting in the background whilst looking for a Champs league club The obvious flaw is that I doubt we have £100k per week to pay a player who will also cost us £13 million + to buy. We could offer a great signing on fee plus a good wage to someone like Konoplyanka but he was on a free. I agree, but Stoke have failed in two top targets, would the pizza boys want to make it a hat-trick? Furthermore, how many top wingers are there out there?

The general point is too make it clear that the offer will change and drop down if Yarmolenko wants to shop around for another month for other teams. This is maybe a better way of setting a deadline as he will be foregoing certain cash now if he takes the risk to wait

Other than a dodgy Ukrainian report that started it all and Mark Hughes being coy is there anything to this? I'm yet to see it, absolutely stinks!

This is maybe a better way of setting a deadline as he will be foregoing certain cash now if he takes the risk to wait That only works if he is desperate for a place to play football, but he is a talented kid, we won't be his only option. The other reading of it is that he doesn't like being 'pressured' like this and then decides that he'd rather play somewhere else - it's not like we're Real Madrid and we can afford to be arrogant.

If there is, I have not heard anything about it, which does not mean a lot as I don't hear everything, it looks like a right winger only, whether it's yarmo or another target if we fail in his move

Regardless of what the club might be saying I can't see Hughes being happy with the amount of wing options he's got.
Last year we had Walters, odemwengie, assaidi, Moses, arnautovic,
This year we've got Walters, odemwengie and arnautovic. Moha isn't quite first team.
I think Hughes will want to add one on the left and one on the right. Otherwise we'll be 1 injury away from being in the shit.

He wasn't here at the same time as Moses, was he? Agree that we need at least one other winger, and preferably two (Hughes may well see Diouf as sufficient cover for the wide positions if he only gets one though I'd imagine). Not seen enough of Moha tbh to make any judgement on whether he's decent cover on the bench and can be an 'impact sub' or not; looking forward to seeing a bit more of him pre-season actually as he certainly has the makings of a good player in the future.

If there is, I have not heard anything about it, which does not mean a lot as I don't hear everything, it looks like a right winger only, whether it's yarmo or another target if we fail in his move Got to say that worries me a bit. We need three players to my mind. A winger, a centre back to cover Ryan and a player who can (as close as anyone can) fit seamlessly into where N'Zonzi fitted. Now MVG could well be that player but none of us know that for sure yet.

I'm probably going to get a load of @@@@ for this, but I have heard nothing from anyone regarding this. His name has not mentioned. As I said earlier Johnson and shaquiri were our top targets. I am led to believe they remain so. One having signed, the other.......

I never saw him as being good enough for the first team anyway. So one more to replace Moses and we're as good as last year in my opinion. Odemwingie probably won't be as good but Arnie looks like he's ready to hit the ground running.

A bit harsh but even if that's true he's had 2 seasons. It's hardly a comprehensive survey to set your watch by. He looks very settled to me and I'm expecting a lot from him this year.

Early prediction but Arnie will be our player of the season imo. Therefore, give him a new contract now before he fucks off next summer. Same goes for Muni.
