Zinchenko

Obligatory when will our own youth get a chance-type question? Is this guy any better than Ronnie Lopes etc etc etc?

If the signing is true, then the answer would appear to be yes

Can't really find much on the kid- especially since most info is in Ukrainian or Russian...
Appears he came up through Shaktar's youth system, and then ended up with the middle of nowhere Russian club Ufa FC.
-anything involving Shaktar and Russia... who knows. If nothing else they have..(well had now, their a mess due to the politics) a good academy system at Shaktar.

If nothing else, he's a young guy, playing against decent competition, and likes to attack and go forward.

-probably the kind of guy we need on the squad, see action in cap 1 and fa.

remember from now on everything is Pep's call in terms of players. he's all but done at Munich, only 1 meaningful game against Dortmund for their DKB trophy May 21st.

Think he got knocked off his scooter in Quadrophenia as well, another crock

It seems we are looking for new players everywhere in the world but our academy.

Perhaps that's coz we know what's in our academy.

Will the Pep factor make the difference?

Tbf it doesn't matter which ones make it so long as they get a fair chance to fight it out & somebody does. If we blow 40 mil it's a bit different but for smaller fees..we are going to lose most of the senior attack over the next few years so with two potential players per position, why not ?
