Benfica fans: "Yaremchuk is the main transfer disappointment of last season"

Portuguese fans are pleased that Ukrainian Roman Yaremchuk left Benfica.

Initially, many doubted that the Ukrainian striker would be able to play in Portugal, although a successful start silenced critics for a while. But as soon as Yaremchuk stopped scoring, they began to criticize him with renewed vigor. The transfer of the Ukrainian to Benfica is the most expensive transfer of the Eagles last summer, so they expected a bright game and many goals from him. As a result, Yaremchuk not only failed to become a potential replacement for Nunez, but also did not adapt to Portuguese football. Roman lost the competition not only to the Uruguayan, but also to Gonzal Ramos, who was generally considered a double player from the very beginning.

As they joke in Portugal, the only useful action that Yaremchuk made in the new season was the transfer to Club Brugge.

Marty: Yaremchuk has long stopped in development. It is strange that our scouts did not notice this. I think that Yaremchuk has already passed his peak of form and began to decline. He won't play better. He will not even consistently score 15+ goals in a season. Every year he will score less and less. I'm even surprised that someone else is willing to pay so much money for it.

Pirum: There were great expectations from Yaremchuk's transfer to Benfica. It seems that he started well, he scored steadily. But then something went wrong. The guy began to play so badly that instead of him they began to put the guys from the double as the basis. This is an indicator of Yaremchuk's level. He lost the competition to everyone he could.

Bancada: Disappointment is the only word that comes to mind when I hear about Yaremchuk. This is a forward that is very weak in many components. It was more trouble than good.

TuaTL: I would like to thank Yaremchuk, despite the fact that he never took root in Benfica. He came to the club at a difficult moment, scored several important goals, tried to be useful, but you can’t jump above your head. Yaremchuk is simply not a strong enough striker for Benfica.

Palminha: A good player with great potential, but he clearly has mental problems. Yaremchuk could become the new Nunez, but in the end, even stop getting into the main team. And this was before the start of the war in Ukraine. The guy needs to hire a personal psychoanalyst and work on himself, there is nothing to be ashamed of. As far as I heard, even Ronaldo has problems with psychology and this is how he solved them.

encarnada: It's good that we managed to make good money on his transition. We can say that we got rid of a useless player in time. I think that already in the winter we would not have been able to get 10 million for Yaremchuk.

Leao: Where are those now who proved that Yaremchuk is an outstanding player who can then be sold for 50-60 million euros to top clubs? The guy fought all year for a place in the base, lost the competition to Ramos, and now he is going down, back to Belgium.

Chuby: Many say that Yaremchuk came at a difficult time for Benfica, so he could not play. But this is a lie. Benfica's problems arose precisely because of players like Yaremchuk, who could not do anything useful for the club, but only created problems for us.

sousa: It's stupid to even try to compare Yaremchuk and Nunez. These are players from different planets. Darwin scored a lot of goals and moved to Liverpool, while Roman scored on holidays and returned to Belgium. At the same time, Yaremchuk had everything to become a base player, but from the very beginning he could not join the team. He was a stranger at Benfica, didn't want to adapt, didn't want to become part of the team. That's why it all happened.

Borges: Worst transfer last summer. How could you pay 17 million euros for such a weak player? I immediately said then that we have stronger forwards in the double, and it happened. Ramos and Araujo are much more technical and cunning strikers. They have great potential. And for Yaremchuk, the limit is the Belgian Championship.

Damaia: Thank you for not leaving for free ... Now the money from the sale of Yaremchuk can be spent with benefit. To buy Ricardo Horta. It would be ideal. We already have enough central forwards in the team.

figuerede: Benfica collapsed in the middle of the season, a new coaching staff, then a war began in Ukraine, which has not stopped until now, then again a new coach. Yaremchuk simply could not stand such psychological stress. He is a talented striker, but he needed a change of scenery. Good luck in Belgium and thanks for everything.

Honesto: I think that Yaremchuk was used incorrectly in Benfica, not in the position in which he played in Belgium. While Jesus was in the team, Yaremchuk played consistently and scored goals. Then things didn't go the way we all wanted. Yaremchuk is an emotionally unstable player, so he could not cope with the problems that he faced in Benfica.

Firmo: Go away and don't come back. No one will remember Yaremchuk, because there is nothing special to remember. The guy was more treated and suffered for various reasons than he played. If even with all the problems in the attack, Yaremchuk lost his place at the base last season, then what can we talk about at all?

Maniac: I hope that the war in Ukraine will end soon, and Yaremchuk will play in Brugge. He can play better, but not in Portugal. Better to be a star in Belgium than a double in Primeira.

Tacuara: I am not a fan of Yaremchuk and consider him a weak forward, but are there stronger players in Benfica now? Goncalo Ramos will not be able to last the whole season, he needs an adequate replacement. Musa, Pinho, and all the rest are players even worse than Yaremchuk. I'm afraid that we will still regret the sale of the Ukrainian.

Afonso: I still don’t understand how we could pay 20 million euros for him. But I also can't understand how we could sell it for 19 million? It's like money laundering. Sell ​​for 19 million a striker who barely scores? It looks like bullshit.

Saganto: I'm actually shocked that someone was ready to pay at least some money for this guy. As a result, Benfica did not even lose much on the purchase and sale of Yaremchuk.

Luxx: The only useful action that Yaremchuk made in the new season is the transfer to Brugge. Thank you for leaving without any scandals and not creating unnecessary problems for everyone.

Magnificos: Yaremchuk is the main transfer disappointment of the last season. They paid 17 million euros for the guy, but he either received treatment, or he had some personal problems, or he could not find a common language with the coaching staff. Scored 6 goals in Primeira during the season. One more than Grimaldo's defender. It seemed that this was already the bottom, but this season Yaremchuk began to play even worse.
