Angelino

[ancoats]

does the lad want to come back in the first place ????? heard stories about PSG and others wanting him ??? and the agent would pocket more money in moving him to another club and only city have the clause and we could get him back for peanuts meaning the agent fee's will be small ??? so the players choice or does the agent have a say and put the pressure on

Yes..

I do understand the reasoning behind why you think Zinchenko will very rarely play in midfield, especially with the competition we’ve got in those positions. However I do think it’s kind of silly to write off the lad after last season, being on the verge of a £16m move to Wolves to becoming an integral part in a treble winning team. Now I know if Mendy has been completely fit he possibly wouldn’t have even got that chance but the new 5/6 year contract shows how much trust the club have in Zinchenko, even with Angelino hopefully coming back. I really do think he could compete for a first team place, if the likes of De Bruyne, Bernardo, Silva and Foden aren’t on form then I’d have absolutely no problems playing him in midfield against anyone.

You've misunderstood my post. I think Zinchencko is special. I thought this long before it became obvious to the popular majority.

I think he'll mostly play at Leftback because that's his position at City. And there is even more competition in the middle. We will likely have Rodri, Fernandihno and Gundogan who can play 6, then we have Kevin, Dave, Gundogan, Phil, and Bernado who can play 8. Pep has hinted that Riyad can play 8 too.

So when fans say he can get games in the middle, they are really not thinking it through.

I think he'll start the season as the starter at LB backed up by Angelino. Mendy I don't expect to be ready for the beginning of the season. I sense that's probably part of the reasoning behind bringing Angelino back.

Dax is the bestest in the world at spotting things before everyone else does.

He’s also the bestest at telling everyone he’s the bestest at it.

I've been telling people that for years

Oh boy... I've missed you too Stoned Rose.

By the way, Angelino's availability is top notch. I figured you'd want to know. :)

He certainly has a keen eye for spotting talent. Yes, from time to time he will forget that certain Spanish one-named players are indeed the same player as the one who shares their last name. Shit, where was I going with this.

Nope, I completely understood. I just disagree and think he’s strong enough to compete for a place in the team whether that’s at left back or central midfield (6 or 8). There’s no guaranteed starters and Pep picks players on merit when they’ve earned their chance and Zinchenko I believe will force his way sooner or later. Obviously we have more talented players but with the amount of games we play, injuries etc. he’ll get his chance at some stage and with his character I doubt he’ll give that up easily.

My guess is that Mendy has sustained a longer term setback than we have heard about. Was he not in Barcelona having further treatment on our FA cup weekend....?

 

[WallyA]

Don't have faith in Mendy's fitness, its Angelino and Zinchenko at LB I think.

If Mendy is fit, it won't be for a couple of months into the season.

I am amazed at how much knowledge posters have about the power relationships between players and agents.

You guys are scary.

 

[ancoats]

Yes..

then sign him up quick time ????

if the lads want to come back and we have a clause then why the delay, we need to start signing new players now in the new transfer window, get them in peps pre-season training camps that will shortly begin in a couple of weeks time ?? maybe next week the doors will open and we sign 3 or 4 in one go and sell or free a couple

modern football and players do what the agents say and the advise is based on money and not love ?? and any good deal they set up for the player when things are not going so well gets the agent a big shoulder to carry that chip he has when (i told you so) i will look after you ???

also the clause will see the agent lose out on a big money move ?? and even if the lad want the move to city PSG will be offering the same amount of money in wages so the agent will be punishing the best deal for both and not just the player ?? sadly that's how modern football is the players trust the agents to get the best deals

Bet Vincent Kompany wouldn't agree with you.

But also wasnt having a go at you.

 

[salfordbluetrue]

I may have missed something over the last day or so but has the player said he is coming back? I believe we are buying him back but what are the circumstances? I would expect a player that enjoyed many a year here would be ecstatic about a move back and tell everyone

 

[Manchester1894]

I really don't rate him.

 

[BlueDejong]

I really don't rate him.

so what? lol

It's just such a shame he never tells us until after the fact.

This is what I have been saying. Zinny has the tools to do very well in our midfield playing as an 8 or 6. His mentality is very high and he has a damn good competitive spirit and willingness to learn and grow. People highlight pace as the one thing that would limit his impact playing in the middle but how important is pace in Pep's midfield?

If he could surprise many turning out great performances playing at LB, its not improbable to think he'd deliver in a position that is more natural to him. All he needs is a chance to impress and if he gets one, I bet he'll surprise quite a number yet again.
