I don't think people yet fully realise the implications of not being in the CL in terms of getting the players in. It's a massive factor for players. Look how Liverpool struggled to get top players, with the exception of Suarez (discipline issues)
Yevhen Konoplyanka

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) are here to discuss Amad saving our blushes in a win against Southampton as well as our now annual loss at home to Brighton. They discuss Amorim's post-match comments, revisit how mid-table we may or may not be, and discuss some transfer news.
Seems it was United without CL, or Dnipro with CL.
Enough to make scousers that laughed look silly.
Nonsense. There's a large Russian and Ukranian ex-pat community in London and there's probably barely a single person from either of those countries in Manchester or Liverpool. Totally understandable that he would prefer to move there.
Have you ever even been to Manchester? I was talking to a recent Ukrainian immigrant at work just this morning. My brother's ex girlfriend was born in England to Ukranian parents. There are Ukrainian churches all over Greater Manchester. He wants to move to London because it is one of the worlds great cities and a great place to live, well, if you are rich anyway. And he is rich!
I lived in Manchester for 22 years! I gotta be honest, never seen so much as a bliny there at any stage ever 
There's no reason to say he'd go to United. He'd look like a git if for some reason transfer fell through.
What he said was fine and diplomatic enough, shows nothing about his mindset.

I don't even advocate buying Konoplyanka, just had a quick look at his stats. I haven't seen enough of his performances, in fact I've seen about 5-10, to form an opinion one way or another.
No, it was "MU or Dnipro in Europa league". That is assuming they lose the qualification round.
Interview posted on previous page says "...stay with Dnipro and playing in Champions League."
"---или остаться в Днепре и сыграть в Лиге чемпионов---"
It would be kinda insulting and awkward to ask him about scenario where they lose the qualifications.

Well on the official page of the news outlet, that is cited by their site, it says:
"or Dnipro in Europa League":

Although it's a possibility that the player actually meant Champions League. Maybe reporter just got it mixed up, or maybe editor did.
It makes little sense that they said Europa League, as first, as I said, it would be insulting, and second, you have Konoplyanka in next sentence saying he'll cheer on Dnipro in Champions League if he does gets transferred.
Yet, it's exactly what has been said. I speak russian, so i am sure. It's not a google translate mistake.
And in the other interview, it says Champions League.
I'll give them the benefit of a doubt that they do have some common sense, and believe it really was CL what was said.

Liverpool have been struggling to get top players for years, in in CL years. Carroll for 35M? Having LVG as manager is a big plus.
Do one Yevhen, the only thing that you have going for you is that you are cheap!
This is what happens when you have scouse interpreters.
Bild saying we are interested.
Do Scouse interpreters require an English interpreter?
Interesting
With that name, a move to Dortmund is just waiting to happen.
Can we have the thread title changed to Pavluenko?
Considering only the scouse can understand the scouse, probably such an English interpreter doesn't exist.
You're probably right, BUT, you don't really need to understand the scouse dialect to know that if it is a scouser talking it's probably rubbish coming out.
Fcuks sake. Going into pitiful denial over a player like Konoplyanka is just not worth it.
What denials are you talking about?

I think it's bogus, local media sources actually saying the chance he will stay is pretty high.
Talksport should be renamed Talkshit
Dripro are in next season's Champions League so I can see him staying one more season with them. Same goes for William Carvalho.
Will probably end up one of those players who's linked and linked for years, but never actually makes that move.
When is the last time talkSport actually got a transfer right?
Well top local talents in Ukraine and Russia for example are paid a lot. Many players from Belgium, Holland go to the top leagues to develop and play on a high level, that's true, but it is also true that they earn like 4-5 times more in England at least. So there is also a very strong financial incentive. When you talk about top, rich Ukraine clubs they offer similar wages actually, and considering all the tax stuff, costs of living etc, you can say that it works out even as a slightly better salary sometimes.

Would be an absolute steal for £15 million

Well apparent english media picked-up local news outlet information, that Konoplyanka is more likely to stay in his current club this summer.

Although actually their new coach has just said that he was given assurances top players will stay. Basically it's a pretty common stuff, everybody says it.

Dnipro CEO: "Officially, there's a specific amount for which we don't have the right to not release Konoplyanka" #mufc
Dnipro CEO: "If #mufc offer favorable conditions and agree terms with Konoplyanka and pay us the same compensation, no one can do anything''
Do it Woody! I have a good feeling about the lad.
Not good enough for Man Utd.
