Marat Izmailov

[c1982]

Cut price deal?

[Ian C]

He's got real quality from what I've seen though it seems that he's been hampered by injuries. Should be good mates with Bilyaletdinov from their Lokomotiv days.

 

Checking his wiki stats it seems like he's played the majority of Sporting's games over the last 2 seasons. If we could get him for that price and he passes a medical I'd take him in a heartbeat.

from his loco days

 

against porto

 

looks like he has a good eye for goal and his one against porto was awesome

[WillAct723]

4.1m would certainly be a splash for us this year. That is, if we don't sell the Yak for 8m.

 

He seems to have the skill set we are looking for, and for 4.1, at 27, I can't complain too much.

[iggy]

tracking the diminutive right-winger since he impressed in Everton's Europa League tie against Sporting in February.

 

Another fooking shrimp!!

 

However, his career has been blighted by a series of injuries that have stymied his progress.

 

 

Another Andy van der Meyde?

[Ian C]

Or another Saha or Lescott.

 

Van der Meyde had far more problems than injury to be fair.

Looks to have some legs on it, this one.

I was very impressed with him at Goodison, I just wish it was from a more reliable source then the Daily Mail

[WillAct723]

Clearly what you meant

[Memmaclub]

http://www.football365.com/story/0,17033,8652_6318737,00.html maybe a rehash of other stories

[Ian C]

Oh no. The Daily Mail is a new level of shite. When they're not discussing which household objects are giving you cancer, they're discussing how you may trip and fall and kill yourself on said objects and how the government should put a stop on these objects for the good of society. Or maybe they're front paging yet another story of someone defrauding the welfare system and how because of these people we should cut benefits for all (Incidentally £5.2bn a year is lost through benefit fraud, admin error and claims while £25bn a year is lost in tax avoided. Of course these tax avoiders generally vote Tory ). Or maybe they're front paging how "THE BURQAS AND THE ARGIES WANT TO KILL BRITAIN" or "IMMIGRANTS STEAL MONEY FROM SICK CHILD".

 

I swear one of these days the Daily Mail's headline will simply read: "The sky is falling"

 

Also, if a transfer rumour of ours is reported in say, The Guardian (a daily newspaper), then that would be fairly reputable

...maybe they're front paging how "THE BURQAS AND THE ARGIES WANT TO KILL BRITAIN" or "IMMIGRANTS STEAL MONEY FROM SICK CHILD".

Agree.....but The Express is worse.

[drs08]

This is getting legs now eh!?!??! I'm all for this with or without Vic, personally I don't think Vic will make the grade thats my opinion he's just a tank, no composure, no class, no consistent end product as said thats my opinion

 

Come to the blue side Izmailov!!!

[adamsmith69]

Yeah, alot of different media sources are pushing the story now, however i get the feeling they are just jumping on the bandwagon. I could start a media frenzy with a random 'qoute'

[jcrawfor]

first rumour i've gotten excited about this summer. I hope it's got some truth to it, he'd be a fantastic signing.

[Louis]

Robbie Cooke, Everton's Chief scout says:

 

Of course I know some things about Izmailov, he is a great player, known by all the clubs in Europe but it's not for me to be talking about situations that relate to the club's hiring policy. I don't know if there is a proposal.

 

I know of many players, it is part of my job, but I do not like to dwell on a subject that has not been reviewed, in public. I know that this issue has been widely talked about in recent days, not only in Portugal but here too. It is best not to dwell on this. Izmailov is a great player, I can't say more than that.

Lol I think there maybe a job there for you with 'breaking headlines' such as those!
