I mean, ciders not bad at all. Can only have 1 or 2 pints though and the rest beer/liquor when you're at the bar. Otherwise, you're in for a MEAN hangover.

And screw keeping this on topic. We're not getting Konoplyanka, or anyone for that matter. Better to just talk about being degenerate alcoholics;)
Konoplyanka sounds like a drinking game involving Kerplunk.

His name means "linnet" in russo-ukrainian actualy. I guess it's a bird in zoology. And Konoplya means hemp.

Wiki says:The common linnet (Carduelis cannabina) is a small passerine bird of the finch family, Fringillidae. It derives its scientific name from its fondness for hemp and its English name from its liking for seeds of flax, from which linen is made.

Straight from an interview with FCDniproTV.

“Yes it is true, Roma was interested in me, I don’t know about now, since I said no. But this is football. Some people agree to leave, others don’t.”

“It is an interesting situation. Last year, I was happy and ready to go to Liverpool, but the clubs disagreed. Now, I am not happy with the offer, but the clubs are.”

“Ever since I was a little boy, I wanted to play in England. The league plays the best football and I want to try myself in this league.”

“I didn’t want to go to Italy because I promised the club president.”

“I don’t know why people made up rumors about flying me to Roma for medical examinations.”

The best thing about that is that it's clear Dnipro was giving off a crock of shit when they said they weren't going to sell him, and are indeed open to offers.

Would absolutely love for him to be the Lennon replacement. The improvement in terms of quality, quantity, and diversity of attacking skillsets for the fee would be incredibly disproportionate in our favor IMO.

Makes too much sense and logic for Spurs.

I effing love cider and the thought of Konoplianka in a Spurs shirt.
I'll drink to the gods tonight in hope to gain their favor on this matter.

After Sandro left our team our team has been poor at martial arts,
a black belt karate master like Konoplianka would strenghten us in case of a brawl.
You never know what can happen away in the Europa League

I think he is the one realistic player we could sign before Monday. I think he would be happy to come to Spurs and I'm sure he is a player poch likes alot

Don't bother holding onto that smidgen, he's already said he won't be moving this window himself so forget it, then he'll fuck off somewhere else in the summer!

He said yesterday "my future will be decided by Monday" after "my dream is to play in England." Dunno about you, but to my eyes it's pretty apparent he's holding out for an offer.

I doubt Daniel Levy can resist waiting until the summer to get him on a free. I would love him in now though, the ideal competition for Chadli on the left.

He really seems like he wants to move to England but it sounds like Roma (based on the news) are one of the only clubs to jump up and make an offer....

Yeah that does seem to be the case. It seems as if he's holding out, made the plea, and I'd guess will just wait for the summer if no one comes in (and then may go to Roma then if no one from England goes in)
