"Scottish "Celtic" is going to acquire the rights to key midfielder, " Rubin a. "
Roman Eremenko after his arrival in the Russian championship firmly occupy a niche key players centerline double champions. Great performance in Kazan football helped him to attract the attention of several European clubs, among which was the Scottish "Celtic."
It is the "Celts", according to Sky Sports, will do the whole deal by buying a football player, playing for the national team of Finland. The potential transaction - 5 million. In the current championship Roman Eremenko spent 15 matches and scored 3 goals."
Not a bad player and a tall, strong CM. Should we read into it that we are loosing one of our main midfielders in the window?

Without being too detailed aye of a needle doesnt cover it....
looks like being a holding / def mid and lets hope that a bit of pace on the wing is also being examined...

Its the age old trick used by agents.
Link their player with us to orchestrate a move somewhere else. No chance we're spending £5m on any player, let alone a central midfielder (an area we are overloaded in already)

If he is a defensive mid, and less than three players are leaving, then we don't need him. We already have Kayal, Wanyama, Broonie, Ledley, Mulgrew, Ambrose, (Lustig at a pinch) who can all play in the 2 defensive mid positions.
Anyway I can't see pistol parting with 5m euros anytime soon.

I think we would spend £5m if we were to sell either Wanyama or Kayal and we were confident that Eremenko could be sold at a profit in the future
I trust John Park and Lenny.
For me we are badly lacking a creative midfielder and wiki says that is his main strength so he sounds like the type we need.

Don't get sucked into this, its just a made up story from his agent to get a move for his client to another club. We've been used in this way for the past few seasons now, engineering moves for players..

I think he could be a shrewd buy. Looks like his contract is up, Rubin signed him for 13 million. He is a starter and started for Dynamo Kiev for 3 years before this.
He will command a decent wage though. If we can sneak 5 mill for Kayal and sign this lad for 5, I think we will improving.
