Fast but injured or on his way to become injured
Never heard of him - English - so that’ll be £50m at least. Came through the Spurs academy.
He’s had a lot of muscle injuries - common with young, fast, players
I’m reading between €35m and €40m but noting is confirmed jet
What a strange business model, basically handing out 8-9 year contracts to get around FFP… Seems crazy.
He was reslly highly rated when he left Spurs - looking for that Jadon Sancho route - but my understanding is that he has never really got going at PSV yet. If the price is right that’s similar to what we just paid for Gakpo.
Look at his injury list, could be a player for us

I had no problem with my version… 
A recent piece in the athletic about the Mudryk’s arrival says the base UEFA FFP rules allow a 5 million combined loss over any 3 year rolling period. The new owner exception allows that loss to expand to 30 million if the difference is directly covered by the owner. The PL FFP rules dont have that new owner exception, but allows for bigger losses anyway.
Regardless, as of next year FFP is being replaced by FSCLR - Financial Sustainability and Club Licensing Regulations. These appear to be stricter and seemingly don’t allow any losses. Instead applicable spending must be below a certain % of applicable revenue, progressively falling to a max of 70% over the first few years of implementation.
Regarding the contracts they are giving, the obvious answer is the forum’s favourite issue - Amortization. However, the Athletic are speculating that beyond that it is a strategy based on sustainability and the ability to plan finances over a longer period. Theoretically it prevents 2 problematic situations. One being the issue they faced when coming into the club - out of contract players in their prime moving for free. The other is the Mo conundrum…offering contracts for players for whom if they are successful will cost a fortune to extend. So the idea is they are taking on more risk of a player not succeeding and being saddled with them for the benefit of being able to project expenses over a long term while being less exposed to the risk of having significantly increase the salaries required to keep their key assets

We’ll see if he’s ever worth what they paid, but I like the early signs of Mudryk. Proper dangerous player.
A journalist from the Athletic told a few days ago how he met/asked Darijo Srna about Mudryk. And he told him that in his view, he’s the 3rd best left wide forward in Europe, behind Mbappe and Vinicius.
Seemed rather average to me.
Really? That move where he skipped around our defenders in the box to get off a shot was dynamite.
It was. Fooled me on the telly as well. Had to look at the replays a few times to see how the fuck he slithered in and out so quickly. Was pretty insane.
Didn’t put a foot wrong, you see immediately that he’s sharp with his touches, fast and willing to combine. Could’ve done better while receiving the ball on the far post. That’s all after 2 training sessions with Chelsea + no competitive game in a while. Very early days, but this fella could be electric.
Probably turned it off by then.
I’m going wait to see him run at another defence, we made Ziyech look like Messi at times.
That’s where I wondered if he was a diver…coz no one risked tackling him…just wondering…
Mudryk was very bright tbf, made a positive impact for them…that was clear to see, then again he was up against Milner for a bit then Trent.
Far from the Jack Grealish I’d previously hoped he’d be…if anything it looked more like the new Hazard out there but hey what’s 1 cameo.
He got a lot from Milner, who always panics against pacey wingers, but was quiet when Trent came on.
Could go either way, might be an electric winger set to be one of the best in the world or could be Anthony Gordon (who Milner also had a nightmare against).
The slalom through our defence was good, although slightly fortuitous also, while he has a few really heavy touches including one where his first touch kicked it out for a goal kick from about 20 yards out.
All in all he did ok, but the sample size is so small it’ll take a while to really see how he works. Still think its kind of crazy that he’s 22 years old. Not exactly a veteran but he’s not that young and he’s barely played football in his career - which has been exclusively in the Ukrainian league… I would have thought someone costing £80m+ from there would have been more dominant earlier in his career.

Well, that’s football, a game of constant little mistakes, nothing is perfect. We can, but don’t have to go so deep into every detail of every move. Desn’t really matter if it was Milner, Trent or Javier Zanetti. It was his first game for a top club against another.
Like I said, the fee is still pretty weird and only time will tell if he will ever be worth it.
But you get players from various situations. The level Luka Modric played in his time at Dinamo Zagreb and for Croatia was already very serious, he could’ve easily gone to a better side than Spurs at the time. Just an example I remember (but of course it took him a while to become really key at Real).
Now we see someone like Kvaratskhelia also, out of nowhere.
At 22, he’s not young anymore, he’s inexperienced also. We can see other examples where players have been overused and they become burned out after 25.
But to see some basic football things (or potential/ceiling of those) sometimes it doesn’t take more than a few minutes.

To be fair to Milner he had been on the pitch for 65 mins
