He looks great in this video. Loves a dinked finish one-on-one. I wish Youtube also had videos such as "Nkunku - all fluffed goals" and "Nkunku - all dispossessions" so we could do more thorough youtube scouting worthy of the full Dennis Wise title.

Nah fuck signing any Russian’s tbf

 

So we're going to judge millions of people based on the dodgy leaders in their country now that they can do nothing about? That is terrible man.

Might sound bad but I’m guessing any Russian players bought would pay tax to the Russian government? It’s a massive hornet’s nest.

It is terrible, yes, but with the likes of Wimbledon banning Russian players, it’s only a short step from that action to the FA saying the same thing.

Well in that case the footballing bodies need to come out and say none of them should be signed. Otherwise I don't think it's fair to just start discriminating against all of these folks, that is so unfair man. The player mentioned is just some 21 year old kid trying to make something of himself for goodness sake. Damn.

Sure he fluffed a big chance against Rangers last week. Completely agree I watch a lot of these YouTube videos and it’s easy to get fooled. The usual give away is when they show a nice bit of skill, but then don’t show what they did with the ball afterwards.

Yeah, I guess. Surprised it hasn't happened yet actually. Rough situation being held accountable for these crazy people in leadership.

I don’t particularly think it’s right but if sanctions are being put in place with Russia, paying millions to players who will pay big taxes to the Russian government contradicts that.

The whole thing is such a mess. Always the regular folk that have to pay the price for these idiots. 

 

The governing bodies need to bring some clarity to the whole thing to avoid any confusion.

Wouldn’t they pay tax where the worked, i.e the UK? Though it could be argued if there are sales taxes in Russia like VAT then any spend of his UK earnings there a portion would find its way to the Russian government.

Would be interesting if we did. Every time they triple up on Maxi all we would need to do is switch play to the other side and the opposition would have to sprint over to the other side or their ful back would be isolated.

Absolutely won't turn my nose up at Richarlison,man. Under Howes coaching and management, and surrounded by positive fellow Brazilians (bring in Paqueta too, while we're at it), and he'd be a top, top forward asset.

I watched a YouTube compilation of Paqueta and he looks mint.  Got to make signing him a priority!!!

I like Targett but if Villa want 15 million for him, long term this lad might represent better value.
 

Newcastle are ready to offer Atletico Madrid 25m euros (£21m) to acquire Brazil left-back Renan Lodi ahead of Juventus who are also tracking the 24-year-old. (Tutto Mercato - in Italian)

Seems Lodi has 3 years left so 25m won’t be enough.

I don´t want to see Lodi signed, have watched him twice live and a few times on TV this season and he is not as good as being made out. He is no better than Matt Targett and there is the addded risk that he might not adapt to the prem. He is not hugely fast and has never nailed his position at Atletico Madrid, always flitting between left back and left wing.

No thanks

Not a chance we get him for that cheap, looking at 40 million plus imo.
