Vitalijs Maksimenko

[Lady Whistledown]

Latvian uses the Latin alphabet, not the Cyrillic

Not all Latvians speak Latvian though, many speak Russian as their first language.

Anyway, he has textbook Eastern European hair, so I'm sold.

Barnes days numbered then?

Also worth pointing out that he was Skonto FC's player of the season last year!

Goal scoring record quoted for youth internationals sounds like he may take pens or free kicks? Else played up front and then broke through at LB like Ashley Cole and Gareth Bale.

Is he a wing back? As Lopez and Bridge could be good in that role, and he'd get game time at CB too from sound of things. Guess our fullbacks push on far more than most anyway so scrap that.

Why do people think Bridge will stay? If on 90k+ a week, he won't drop to 15k will he? Unless we get promoted he'll be off to Prem team or MLS etc on 40k+ easy

Good shout.

Could go the whole hog, and just shoe horn his first name in.

Vitali Maksimenko
Vitali Maksimenko, la la la la..

This may be a stupid question but I'll take the risk: is he playing tomorrow?

From memory, permanent signings (and season-long/half-season loans) have to be registered with the FA by 12noon on the day before a match in order to be eligible. Emergency (short-term) loan signings only have to registered 90 minutes before kick off.

Therefore it depends on whether he has actually signed, and whether those papers arrived at the FA before 12 today.

Is Barnes a LB? Do you actually watch football?

Sorry. It's a good'un though.

 

[Badger]

In the tradition of syllables not really applying to football songs:

Vitaaaaliiiiijs
Vitalijs Maksimenko runs down the wing for me

 

[Drumstick]

Prefer the Nogan one. Cant really comment about him as I know nothing about him.

Luckily NSC will have a Latvian league guru somewhere to enlighten us all.

Like it. Replace "let's go" with Vitalijs - which I assume is pronounced Vitarliss - for even more flair. Either way, it's all good.

I think the basic rules for that song are that lines 2 and 3 should rhyme.

Maksimenko woooaoa
He came from Latvia
To play alongside Orlandi-yeah
Maksimenko woooaoa

 

[Common as Mook]

Oh na na, Maksimenko
Oh na na, Maksimenko

Indeed Sir. Seems a popular choice thus far with TWO moderators giving it their recommendation
