Hopefully wherever he goes, he learns how to shoot the ball. Though i must admit, he's been pretty good in that regard over the past few weeks.

Did you see him yesterday? First goal wasn't that good admittedly, but his second showed his blistering pace and then he had a cool enough head to slot it past the keeper.

And for worst strikers? You've forgotten Reinaldo, Jardel, Deane and Dragicevic

Sorry did someone say Ruka was the shittest striker in the a league?

Has more goals to his name then bridge and aloisi combined?

Get your stats right fellas, 3 goals in 2 games for the young lad, RUKA .... YOUR A GUN!

If he moves next season helll get us a lot of Moolah so it wont be too grim.

I realise that. But still. Hes spent more than twice the years in the Ukraine than he has in Australia.

And my fahter has been living here for almost 40 years, but doesn't consider it 'home'.

I'd rather see Ruka in the NT squad than Holman.

ruka reminds me of holman, looks good but fails to produce

He has also been living in Perth with his family since he was 14.

Ruka is a tallented young player and if he learns to keep his head and matures, he'll be a top class striker. He has potential there.

i second that

Stay in the A-League for two more seasons, then head over to a top team.

this all may be true except the 'giants' part.
arsenal kiev arent a giant club.

Reinaldo can't even run, let alone score.

More than Reinaldo? Comeon, I go to Suncorp too.

Ruka is probably the s**ttest striker I have seen in the A=League. I have seen him miss more sitters than anyone else...........

hope he has learnt from the lessons of other socceroo potentials who get trapped in eastern europe. it's just not worth it ... hold out for western europe or russia.

like i have mentioned previously ... i think ruka should only move when the time is right ... aka. when he has established himself as a striker reguarly finding the back of the net .. he is still very young ... i think this season and another season .... after next season may be the best time to move for him

Did'nt one of the blogs this week talk about this?

Go the Roar, you are easily amused.

"(I refuse to say Socceroo - the term's a second rate leftover from another best forgotten era and we should move on)."

this site is so good for a laugh while at work.

HES FUCKING FROM THE UKRAINE!!! How could he possibly be any more lonely than he is at perth???

Of all the young players on view at the moment, he has the most potential, with his extraordinary pace and technique. His problem is that he lacks a killer finish. If he can develop that, then we could see one of the most dangerous strikers to pull on a Roo shirt (I refuse to say Socceroo - the term's a second rate leftover from another best forgotten era and we should move on).

I just hope that if he does move to the Ukraine, we dont lose him as a potential Socceroo.

yeah but he'll be all sad and lonely
i don't know if he could cope it's freezing

I just hope we he leaves he chooses a club where he will be playing regularly.


What do you think about the FourFourTwo article Nikita Rukavytsya to Ukrainian Premier League [RUMOUR]?

Have your say.
