No idea who he is, but anyone is welcome and ahead of Mustafai
Even if he's a dud, if he's cheap it won't be like Mustafi, who's one of our record transfers.

At this point I'd rather see Senderos coaxed out of retirement to give it another 5 months than see Mustafi out there ever again.
There's a brief scouting report on Matviyenko on this site:
http://www.futbolgrad.com/uncovering-ukraines-hidden-talent-tsygankov-mykolenko-and-matviyenko/
"Center back Mykola Matviyenko has impressed during his time with Shakhtar Donetsk and the Ukrainian men’s national team. Following the departure of teammates Oleksandr Kucher and Yaroslav Rakitskiy, Matviyenko established himself as Shakhtar’s main man in defense. Unlike Kucher, who lacked pace, and Rakitskiy, who would get caught out when bursting forward, Matviyenko has a sense of composure when playing for club and country.
His most impressive spell for both Ukraine and Shakhtar Donetsk has occurred during the 2019/20 season. During the UEFA 2020 European Champions qualifiers, Ukraine only conceded four goals in eight matches. Moreover, Shakhtar Donetsk have only conceded nine goals in 18 league matches in the 2019/20 Ukrainian Premier Liha season. In both cases, much of this credit can be attributed to Matviyenko (although it can be argued that several of Shakhtar’s opponents have yet to challenge the Ukrainian club)."
Sense of composure! That already puts him ahead of almost all our defenders
I smell BS with this one
Not our style i have never known a club like us getting used throwing our name in.Agents talking about transfers before they're happening always makes me suspicious
We don't move that way

Think this will be very solid signing! With little development in the league I think he can surprise most!
10/10 January window?
Not much defending in that vid...Ukrainian Vermaelen? Looks a decent leftpeg
