Oleksandr Zinchenko | Joins Arsenal for £30m

[doobyedoobye]

He needs to get minutes in the middle and stay away from LB forevever imo

 

[Plain Speaking]

It's great to see players that desperately want to stay at the club, but Pep must make the call if he's going to be actually good enough to help us in the top competitions, principally CL.

There's been plenty of passionate players that have wanted to stay at our club, that have been sold because they weren't deemed sufficient quality to make it.

It's a tough world.

Imagine Pep converts him into a worldclass DM now..

Worth a shot!

Agree with all of this. Would just add that Delph was at the same crossroads last year and that didn’t work out too badly.

Nice to see people like these two who appreciate the club and want to stay and fight. Good luck to them.

He's just 21. If he wants to stay and fight for a season, more credit to him. He still has plenty of football left ahead of him to move in the future if it doesn't work out. (I understand however we have limited places)

Agreed, Delph's has got home grown status of course.

Truly dominant clubs are built on talented role players who come and do a job and drop out of the team as quietly as they came.

We need our Nacho, Rafinha, Adriano, Ambrosini equivalents.

Delph, Danilo and Zinchenko are 3 players far more valuable to the team than most realise.

 

[Neville Kneville]

Imo he looked decent yesterday in every area on the pitch apart from when he found himself at left back, where he was utter dogshite, which is quite ironic really, sseing as that's the only one he's been allowed to play in 'real' games.

They are currently definitely valuable, but I am sure most would take a couple of quality additions to the squad in their places.

By the way we won the league, it is clear we have a squad capable of repeating. Although some on here are stressing at the lack of additions, I'm looking at the positives of that there aren't too many new players needing to learn the system. We have a balanced settled squad which is a bonus, and as it has been touted by Pep, any additions will only improve this.

 

[TRUE BLUE NO1]

No Zinchenko in the squad to face Chelsea and he's been training most of pre-season? Could he be injured or on his way?

 

[Rammyblues]

Probably given up his squad place for another player who needs playing time whether in the starting 11 or off the bench.

No injury for Zinchenko, for anybody wondering.

if he can't make the squad even for CS, its best to sell him for 16m.

Does he want to go though

It’s ok saying sell but it depends if the kid wants to stay and fight for his place

Fred Eyre, (accidentally, I think) let slip that Zinch is on his way, while summarising on the charity shield match, for Radio Manchester, earlier today.

 

[MeatHunterrr]

If he stays he won't get much playing time. Delph, Danilo and Laporte will cover LB. If Luiz gets his work permit then there is no space in midfield either + very promising Gomes is there as well.

Think it would be best for his career to leave. He has potential to make very good career for himself whilst playing regularly in the process. But its up to him obviously.

Oh right,shame if so

 

[dhruvblue]

He was not in squad bcoz they feared for lives of people if he dropped that heavy shield on someone.
It was all for greater good
