Deuce Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Oh lord Now, admittedly, the only ways we have to corroborate the accusation that the Russian leagues have massive problems with racism are from media reports, videos of events, and first hand accounts from players themselves... but care to mention why you disagree? Welcome to the forum, btw Holy shit do we have Russian bots now? Must be arriving on the world stage Costanza was certainly one. he was impressively shit Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fedyan Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 Oh lord Now, admittedly, the only ways we have to corroborate the accusation that the Russian leagues have massive problems with racism are from media reports, videos of events, and first hand accounts from players themselves... but care to mention why you disagree? Welcome to the forum, btw I don't disagree. I go to plenty of matches home and away, and I do know that there is a very violent, vocal and organized minority of far-right dicks at certain clubs. That is a serious problem and some of the things those idiots have done in the past are well-documented. They do not, however, represent an entire fanbase. And their actions are being portrayed as such. FC Krasnodar have two black Brazilian players, Ari and Joaozinho, who plan to stay in the city after their playing days are over, one is married to a Russian woman. Such stories never make the press, sadly. But at the same time, the club this Kenedy lad is being linked with, Lokomotiv Moscow, have two standout players this season - Farfan and Manuel Fernandes, not your stereotypical Northern Europeans in appearance, and they get the lion's share of praise and adoration from their fans. Fernandes actually stated in one of his interviews that the monkey noises and suggestive chants in Turkey (he played for Besiktas before) were far more audible, but for whatever reason he did not class an entire nation as abusive Neanderthals. You still see tons of kids at CSKA games wearing Vagner Love and Doumbia shirts, such was their impact at that club, even though they are long gone. The same Spartak fans who are obviously baby-eating nazi scumbags to a man (per any report even in our tabloids) all but idolize a certain Quincy Promes. Hulk still is arguably the most beloved foreigner to have ever played for Zenit, and I certainly understand what kind of reputation their "proper lads" gave to an entire city, let alone a club. I guess, what I am trying to say, is that there is always another side of the story. If I had to count every instance when I heard something idiotic and xenophobic about Slavics in general and Russians in particular while being abroad (my line of work took me to places as contrasting as Rio and Seoul, among many others), I would probably have to assume that the world is a sick and bigoted craphole. Somehow, I believe that life is far more complicated than that. There is a problem, hardly restricted just to our league. But when a black lad signs for Real Madrid, Lazio, Roma, Espanyol, Betis, Atletico, Verona, etc whose active fans (not to be confused with the majority of match-going public) also frequent the news with headlines of a certain nature, hardly anyone suggests that he is about to be a target for a certain group of idiots with specific political views. Hardly a question of climate, I believe. Top forum, I must say. Thanks for the welcome Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 Can't really see him being anything more than a left-footed body to give us some depth that isn't Haidara shaped. I guess even that will make him useful of sorts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontownman Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 It's an odd one. Think Aaron's will be on his way on loan or out permanently. At a push he might work as a wingback in a 3'5-2. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hhtoon Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Dont understand the views. Atsu is s*** and we've nowt on the left really. Sick of people viewing us in the Ashley person view point instead of reality. We have limited loans and Atsu is far from our weakest link. If funds are light (takeover pending), would rather save loans for more crucial positions. Ashley's view point IS reality as he owns the club.

nufcjb Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Don't care is this is a loan, if perhaps, we splash the real cash (or whatever we have anyways) on a position we desperately need; a striker, no.10 and a keeper. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twinport53 Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Atsu has actually been one of our better players this season, and definitely one of our most important. WhoScored have him with 2 goals and 2 assists, thought he had more than that Kennedy is coming in for the bench IMO. No way he's a LB or starting on the wing ahead of Atsu/Ritchie and now Murphy.
