no i didnt bang the drum for Kono...i said he doesnt seem to be a hard working Poch type and that Ukranians/Russians dont tend to perform well outside their homeland. Shevchenko is the only one who has done well iirc.
Can someone refresh my memory where that little guy - I think he was called Modric or something - came from? I think he played with some others from his East European country and they all didn't do too badly...
Yarmolenko can be our new Ginola... now isn't that a thought?!!
Ofcourse there are always a few exceptions. But Modric was a midfielder who scored far too few goals for his talents : only 13 goals in 127 matches. Unlike Modric, Yamolenko is a striker who will be judged by the number of goals he scores. This is where he will struggle. Remember Pavlyuchenko ? He is one of my favourite Spurs player ever as he scored some important goals for us. But as a striker he scored far too few : 21 goals in 78 matches. Even Berbatov scored far too few goals for us : 27 in 70 matches. I am not convinced we will find that unique Eastern European striker who will become the top goal scorer for us.

They couldn't possibly have been two of the best players you've seen in a Spurs shirt. They're from Eastern Europe!I have seen it all now, two of the best players I have seen in a Spurs shirt being put down.
Do you also get a bit wet when you see my profile pic?please ... yarmolenko doesn't make me question my sexuality
This just in. mourinho reveals he sold peter cech because he never scored enough goals.
Those Eastern European keepers ey, ther terrible
Following on from DublinSpur, my other half is Czech and she insists that it is in central Europe.
Say no to drugsok then....ahem (clears throat)
'super cala fraja-listic Andriy Yarmolenko'
'he plays for Dinamo kiev so dont get confused with Dnipro'
'if we play him on the wing, then he could set the tempo'
'oh super cala fraja-listics Andriy Yarmolenko'
'dum diddly dum dum diddly I'
Just watched that YouTube vid and I have to say it reminded me a lot of a video I saw compiling Lamela's best moments (just after we'd bought him).
Based on the Lamela video I was 100% sure we'd bought the next world superstar. Yarmolenko looks equally impressive and - assuming our scouting team are basing their decision on more than a single YouTube vid (safe assumption, I hope) - I'd be more than happy if he signs for us. But - as with Lamela - nothing is guaranteed.
