Zinchenko

if he's EDS only, then fine, if he's taking up a foreign spot which should go to a world class player, then I'll be disappointed.

Not like he's proven himself in the back end of nowhere.

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

Are we signing David Bowies brother

 

[BlueKlaude]

Actually seen him once. Totally fine, kinda kdb esque, for pennies and a loan this lad could become something.

Wouldn't worry about it.

We're probably going to be freeing up around 7 foreign spots*. We aren't going to be signing 7 world class foreign players.

*Caballero, Kolarov, Zabaleta/Sagna, Demichelis, Mangala, Toure, Bony (maybe more )

well we should. That's our level now, buying anything less has left us struggling as proved by the past 2 seasons.

Signing 7 world class players is unrealistic in the extreme

And counter-productive.

And counter-productive.

compared to our usual trick of buying players who aren't good enough, who've demonstrated that that method is counter-productive.

we don't sign any. Buying 19 year old Ukrainians who can't trouble the top 100 stats standings for the Russian League hardly changes that, especially when you've got kids who can play that role who don't take up a spot.

So we don't name him in the CL squad. In PL rules he comes under the U21 rule so doesn't need registering.

It's good practise to sign young promising players for peanuts. Even if he just acts as a squad player for a few years you get a squad player and a profit at the end of it.

You can't have too many good young players.

We don't have very many good forwards/wide players in the upper youth ranks. Sancho looks the most promising but he's 16. I don't think the likes of Nemane will make it. Zinchenko might
