    Turkey get their Shakhtar targets

    Kaua Elias from Fluminense IN

    Diego Arroyo from Bolivia too

    Have Ukrainian clubs accepted the new realities yet???

    Is rejecting these moves a la Brazhko wise?


    THE OTHERS:

    Kalyuzhnyi off to Metalist 1925 in the summer

    Kryvbas making sales to Libya?

    Karpaty with big incomings

    Polissya sack their Vice President
