http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ruslan-Pimenov-c31937 has downplayed Dynamo’s chances of securing a European berth this season, saying that the Russian Premier League club is struggling after making poor signings
Former Dynamo Moscow striker, Ruslan Pimenov, believes that the White-Blues will find it difficult to claim a top-five finish in a bid to secure European berth this season after making worst signings during the last two transfer
windows.
The Moscow-based club signed http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/PSV-c40281 Eindhoven during the summer transfer window.
And while Pimenov remained silenced about Schildenfeld and Jantscher, he blasted the Dutch attacking midfielder, Bakkal, saying that buying the 27-year-old was a complete waste of money for the club.
Bakkal, who spent season-long loan spell at http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Feyenoord-c39258, signed a three-year contract at Arena Khimki before joining the Russian outfit for reportedly 5 million Euros this summer.
Sergei Silkin signed Bakkal after the Eindhoven-born midfielder scored 9 goals in 30 appearances last season. However, the Dutchman has not impress new manager, Dan Petrescu, after failing to score or even make an assist since
making a big move to Russia.
“Jantscher is a good midfielder but Schildenfeld needs to learn a lot as he is certainly not among the stronger defenders in the Russian championship. But I think they both will learn with the passage of time.”
“But I think the club made the biggest mistake by signing Bakkal. I have seen him play and I do not think that he is worth the transfer fee Dynamo paid to the Eredivisie club. His acquisition has surprised me. I do not know what
people think of when they sign a contract with that kind of player.” The Russian Super Cup winner was quoted as saying.
Pimenov, who moved to Dinamo Minsk after spending two seasons at Moscow, went on to urge http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Kevin-Kuranyi-c20736 and Zvjezdan Misimović to help the club in clinching top-five spot at the end of the season despite a troublesome
start to the league campaign.
As things stand, the Dinamiki are at the 10th spot on the league table with just 18 points.
