Oleg Shatov

Has never, at any point, been good enough to play for City. In an inferior league (the Russian) he scores only on average 4 or 5 a season, and assists even less frequently. Quite what makes anyone think that's what we're missing, an attacking player who rarely scores, and hardly ever creates goals, is beyond me. There are so many better options out there.

I've genuinely never seen him play, but if this is true then he's nowhere near the level we need.

It was to try to stop him posting about the Russian **** in every other thread but he's already pissed me off by posting about him in the Axel Witsel thread when he promised he wouldn't do that. So having argued his case against other mods who were sick of seeing this shit all over the forum, he's now on my shit list and on very thin ice at the moment.

Watched him play in the Europa league the other night. You could've mistaken his heat map for a late night chippy queue.

It's fucking weird his obsession with a second rate player who will never be good enough for us.

I'm glad something has been posted pertinent to the discussion. But you're wrong. You're using the stat of Shatov 2 years ago before he matured as a talent. There's always a breakthrough season for every player. Before Shatov ever matured, his game vs Dortmund in 2013 was what got me hooked to him. This year, he is complete different story. I don't need to mention his stats anymore. His stats are the most impressive despite his position, granted he is from a weaker league but he has showed class in the CL so far.

Shatov has a 1 goal in 2 game ratio, while being one of the top assisters in the CL behind Hulk.

According to Wikipedia he's played 217 games and scored 30 goals, so not so much a 1 goal in 2 game ratio, more a 1 goal in 7.25 games.
