“Hey sokoły” is a popular Polish song, expressing a longing for the times, when Ukraine was a part of Poland. Now, looking at the number of talents in the beautiful land east from Lviv, the grief and regret is even bigger. Especially when you have in mind upcoming Euro 2012 and recent matches of the national team. OK, enough with this whining, here is another talent from the fruitful land on Dnieper.
Volodymy Arzhanov was born on the 29th of November 1985 in Zaporozhye, yet in USSR, from the beginning of his career playing for local club Metalurh. Some of these things from this Soviet mentality he still possesses, because his work rate is far from impressive, but he catches up with God’s gifts and there is plenty of that. He overcomes his lack of strength with flair, determination and pretty good pace and acceleration. Great dribbling, powerful long shots and passing accuracy make him an indispensable offensive midfielder for the most clubs in this part of Europe, and with his potential he will be as good playing in western clubs. You can buy him at the game start for ca. 100k €, but be prepared for a battle with wealthy oligarchs from post-USSR countries and that you will have to offer him a very good contract to tempt him to Polish pubs in Poznań, Kraków or Warsaw, rather than similar premises in Kiev, Moscow or Donetsk. This expenditure at the start will surely be paid with interest to everyone, who will decide to invest in this player.
