Im just a bit worried that Chyhrynsky could turn out like Tymoshshuk at Bayern Munich currently does. He was praised as one of the best DMs around, winnig the UEFA Cup last year with St. Petersburg (see the pattern ...), leading his team as captain and being a centerpiece of the ukranian national team, though no one actually saw him play a lot (coz who actually does watch the russian league or the early stages of UEFA cup?).
He got his image for almost a year then, when Bayern first started the negotiations, and kept it until he started playing last week. The whole supporters base was so excited over having a fine DM finally so they can ditch van Bommel. But instead he turned out to be prolly the biggest disappointment since ... hm, maybe J.P. Papin somewhere in the nineties. He was supposed to be an excellent ball winner and a great strategist on the pitch, being able to lead a team with smart and creative forward passes. Maybe he did that even ... occasionally ... in the russian league or vs maltese teams in the UEFA group stage. B/c the only thing he is currently doing is backpasses over backpasses, and running around the midfield like a headless chicken. Last weekend he won 30% of his 1-1 situations.
The only good thing was that he "only" cost 11M Euro. I just dont wanna see Chyhrynsky doing the same development, esp not when they buy him for 25-30M ...
