Ukraine has been left decimated by an invasion from Eastern European neighbours Russia, who launched an all-out attack on the country at the end of February. Russian president Vladimir Putin's is already said to have resulted in over 600 civilian casualties, with the people of Ukraine forced to either flee the country or take cover in bunkers. Sudakov, the 19-year-old Ukraine midfielder who has spent five years with Shakhtar, is one of those hiding in a bunker along with his wife Lisa, who is currently expecting their first child. His touching story has been detailed on social media by Valente, the 62-year-old Portuguese coach who worked with Sudakov in Shakhtar's Under-21 team. He describes the youngster as the most talented player he has ever coached, insisting he was on track to play for a club the size of Barcelona or Manchester City before Russia invaded his country. 'War stories: Giorgi Sudakov is the greatest talent I have coached in my life,' Valente wrote on Twitter. '19 years old, international A for Ukraine, recently renewed contract until 2026 with Shakhtar. A fantastic human being waiting to be a father with his wife Lisa of a girl... 'Dreams to be fulfilled, snatched away by a bunker in a senseless war. Yes... I cry and pray for this couple and for all the young players and friends I left behind in a Ukraine that made me happy for two years. My heart is broken.' 'Sudakov is a kid with enormous potential, even to play for FC Barcelona or Manchester City.' Sudakov joined Shakhtar in 2017 and was eventually handed his senior debut in their Champions League win away at Real Madrid three years later. He has also been capped three times by Ukraine, having made his international bow against Bahrain in May 2021. 'He was the greatest talent I trained and he is one of the strongest connections I have,' Valente also said about Sudakov in an interview with the Lusa Agency.

Pizy 18,996 Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 I view Tyler Adams much like I do Gallagher. Not a midfielder with huge quality on the ball or someone who wows you but they’re players who work their asses off and get stuck in relentlessly. Someone you’d want to have in your squad but certainly not someone good enough to be a first XI player for a big club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a fan at all but at least hard working, dogged runner and good attitude overall like Pizy outlined. I could imagine it does not hurt to have him as cover as his wages would probably be in line with the low fee. but he is not the kind of quality that brings us forward PSG really did fuck us over with the Ugarte hijack. At this point it looks like he was the no 1 target probably due to price and Caicedo is already plan B with no premeditated plan C in place. Still thinker should go for someone like Onanan or Aövarez before stepping as low as Adams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoroccanBlue 5,390 Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 I'd imagine he'd be a depth option in replace of Gallagher? Probably simply just inquiring as a fall back. Doubt we'd actually bring him in unless things turn desperate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably simply just inquiring as a fall back. Doubt we'd actually bring him in unless things turn desperate. Judging by how much Gallagher was used in preseason, how often he’s talked about his love for our club and how much he wants to stay I don’t think he’s going anywhere. All rumors of his departure have ceased as well. Looks like Poch finds him useful. Adams seems like the kind of midfielder you can bring on for or one of the attacking players later in matches when you want to see out a result. If we’re a goal up or just want to protect an important point away from home against a top team you can bring him on and he’ll be useful.

Same Ornstein said we agreed with Kudus weeks before but nothing with Ajax. Brighton now agreed with Ajax but nothing with him. Does anyone believe he would not choose us over them and we can easily pay more to Ajax. So we can bully Brighton, Caicedo on our terms or no Kudus for them.

Pizy 18,996 Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 A deal that may be worth £100m won’t just happen suddenly without the likes of Fabrizio or Ornstein reporting it shortly beforehand. So it’s clearly not imminent yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DH1988 1,353 Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 The only signing I care about as a baseline is Caicedo, Enzo will fall off dramatically and throw his toys out if we do not sign quality to be next to him. It sorts our midfield for 4-5 years alongside up and comers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NikkiCFC 8,389 Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 Now reading that club forbid Gallagher to give interviews. Assuming it's because club looks bad when he is saying all the time how he likes Chelsea plus academy player in case they sell him. Unlike Mount who wanted out this one would really make people angry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
