Ruslan Malinovskyi

To avoid confusion he's saying he's not heard anything rather than saying the links are not true

How are we going to keep this thread going when hardly any of us know enough about him to have an opinion?

In Conte and Paratici we trust! TBH, I really like such transfer out of nowhere and suddenly we just seem to be in advanced stage.

 

[dovahkiin]

anyone more credible said anything about this? dimarzio, romano? you'd think they'd be all over it

 

[daveduvet]

From what I've read it's because he's predominantly an attacking CM that isn't the greatest defensively which doesn't really work in Atalanta's already ultra-attacking setup, so he rotates at CAM where there is a lot of competition.

He would probably be great as a rotational option with Deki or someone to put on instead of PEH or Bentancur when chasing a goal or struggling to break down a team.

Plus, if we are in a game where we are drawing a lot of fouls, he’d be great at free kicks etc.

No nothing as of this morning, if there’s something in it you’d expect it to come out today. Im sure we have interest but I wouldn’t be surprised if this was an enquiry as per Paratici’s usual style being a little blown out of proportion.

Used to love that optimistic rating

 

[djhotspur]

Right, linked to a player 99% of people hadn't heard of before 6pm and now everyone is collectively jizzing over his youtube clips.

To me this is underwhelming, to go from being linked with Maddison / Paqueta and Zaniolo to this guy....

That said, if he's who Conte wants then fine, but it seems another budget deal. I was hoping we would be in for more elite level exciting players this window and it's just not materialised for one reason or another.

Are we really shopping in the same market as Notts Forest?

That said if we sign him, full support etc etc

Yea but we got told we want 3 in… a cm a forward and a cb.. I’m guessing this guy is the cm, not the forward

 

[djhotspur]

Everyone said that initially when describing Kulu initially. Training under conte and there’s now no questions about his speed. Looks very similar in profile to me

Disagree… Kulu played wing a lot and isn’t slow… this guy is slow and his skill set is absolutely the opposite to a wide forward in contes system…

 

[N17TJK]

Only one way to settle this.

sexy poll time

He’s Ukrainian mate.

He doesn't look slow.

 

[Fredo]

Whenever I see his name keep seeing it as russian and not ruslan lol, awks

 

[djhotspur]

He’s really not quick, he is a fair bit slower than Kulu

 

[wrd]

Only seen the youtube clips but the type of clips are exactly the sort of player I felt we needed just as a component of a squad, we have our main approach, our back up approach but you need some variance when it comes to the kitchen sink and his clips are the traits of a player whose skillset I believe is missing, the set pieces and the long range ability vs a low block.

When has that EVER ever stopped people posting on this site?

Wait, we need to know stuff about players before we can post.....

Sorry lads/ladies, I'm out of all threads for a while, got some reading to do first!!

 

[coy-spurs1882]

not sure about their playing styles but it seems that his teammate Pasalic is a better player considering their stats in last season (13G7A vs 6G5A)

 

[Trix]

Of course computer game ratings are just for reference for abilities, but somehow they do reflect the reputation. For the Maddison/Paqueta/Zaniolo "underwhelming" comparison...

PES/efootball 2022
83 - Maddison/Malinovskyi
82 - Paqueta/Zaniolo

FIFA 22
82 - Maddison
81 - Paqueta/Malinovskyi
78 - Zaniolo

You didn't post this with a straight face, please tell me you didn't.........

Having watched none of the clip reels, whilst also knowing nothing about him, I know for sure he’s exactly the signing we’ve all be craving for the last 5 minutes.

Wait a minute, I'll check his stats on Champ Manager.
