Daniil Fomin

Why are we wasting time with a loan player Van de Beek who will cost us upwards of £3.5 million and £120000 in wages when we can pickup another player we are interested in, the Russian Daniil Fomin aged 24 who is described as a VDB type player if not better. We can pick him up for £4.5 million and own him outright.

If we can pick him up for 4.5 then so can the rest of the division.

Who has put it out there that's he's better? His agent or interested parties? I wouldn't know personally but I do know that VDB cost Man U 35 million plus £5 million in add-ons.

If he was that good wouldn't VSB be described as a fomin type player, not the other way around ?

We dont know if he is better. We do know DVB is not all that, and costs a fortune in wages, and if he did improve, we would lose him in a few months. Not for me Jeff...

From the top picture he looks like he's stepped out of Trainspotting.

Will we go for him in the summer window? Who Knows BUT if there is truth in our having discussions in January then what do people think about this prospect?

Will it be allowed?

Probably. It would be unfair to punish a player when the punishment is aimed at the club. I assume he is not Russian?

Of course it won’t be allowed ....he’s Russian for Christ’s sake...NO Russians will be allowed to play here...hopefully Abramovich will be kicked out too...What happens to Chelsea?...Frankly who cares...

Yup just checked he is Russian.

They may not ban anyone that low down on the food chain but would he want to come here at the moment?

Apparently there are a large number of Russians who are unhappy at what their mad dictator has done

Whilst I appreciate its a very different era & the circumstances are not the same but during the Falkland's crisis Spurs had a couple of very talented Argentinians playing for them.

Not all the time they didn’t, their visas were revoked for part of the time

Clearly a better memory than mine Spider -
Also they were already in the country when the conflict started, rather than requiring a visa to be issued to come.

Just on the Falklands - I was selling foodstuffs for a fairly well known company at the time it kicked off, sitting in the buyers office of a busy London cash & carry when the Fray-Bentos rep arrived, the buyer (full credit to him) immediately said to the fray bentos rep, right, everything on your stock list that comes from Argentine is deleted ( we wont be buying any more) & I want you to uplift anything left on the shelves / in the warehouse.

The fray bentos guy left in silence.

They were indeed in the UK so we’re on work permits rather than visas, I apologise for the mistake. I actually extended Ossie’s work permit, when I worked at HO, not that long before he had to leave

No you're thinking of the Man from Del Monte.

Nice gesture.

But isn't Fray Bentos from Uruguay?
