Ilya Zabarnyi

[Sorry Roger]

I rarely watch player interviews, but caught his one and it was great to see he already has a decent level of English. Fluency will come in time, but at least communication will be possible from the outset.

More than could have been said of Scott Parker.

More than could have been said of Scott Parker.

He is indeed approximately as intelligible as Parker right now, and probably with a higher ceiling.

Top quality journalism says he has an injury and won't play today. And that news comes from a quote the hack managed to get from AFCB manager Harry O'Neill.

Are they sure it's not Eddie O'Neil?

What is it about our signings? Sign on the dotted line then climb on the treatment bench.

I am disappoint. The future is now.

 

[zigger zaggar]

Think you may be disappointed Kicks and indeed the future is now

Got the same inside info by watching GON press conference on YouTube?

Shame, although it's one part of the squad where we have numbers who are performing well at the moment. He'll be one hell of a Championship player if we go down!

Confused with this considering we pulled out of one other deal because of an injury.

It’s a shame but he is clearly one for the future anyway. Looking at our centre backs we have: Stephens (on loan), Mepham, Kelly, zabarnyi, Hill, Senesi. Even if Stephens goes back in the summer he is still probably fourth choice CB

 

[hba1]

Fourth choice? He is an international with 24 caps at a very young age.

Having signed a 5 and a half year contract, I would say he's 'ours' for a while.

When we signed him he was not injured.

Apparently

 

[dragonm8]

Maybe that was why he was cheap.

2 million wasn't it?

 

[horndean_exile]

I'm wondering how Zabarnyi is in the Ukraine squad for the match this month when he can't even make the first team squad for our matches? I sure hope they don't play him and regress his recovery from what has prevented him supporting our fight against relegation. I'm surprised he hasn't withdrawn from the internationals as playing for us should be the priority.

 

[SlowDownDerek]

I suppose there's a little more leeway to be had when your countrymen are literally fighting for their lives. Pulling out for injuries not the best optics.
