Oleksandr Zinchenko | Joins Arsenal for £30m

[oakiecokie]

Made his debut at centre forward aged 15…fifteen!

Doubt that record will never be beaten again at City. ;)

 

[Asian Blue]

Approx £77 million of arsenal for 2 of our fringe players, great bit of business.

As it stands…. we must be in a plus figure for transfer outlay/income this transfer window… anyone got the exact figures ?

[Mad 4 It]

I’m guessing but there will probably be more sales from the eds

We’ve pretty much got back the money we paid for Kolo, Adebayor, Nasri, Clichy and Sagna combined…

Also my very first game v Birmingham April 62,lost 4-1 midweek game.

 

[LongsightM13]

It is going to cause some thinking on the match day thread though. No Sterling, no Jesus and no Zinchenko. Who will get it this season? Has Grealish suddenly gone to the top of the tree?

Ederson as well, they’ve already started in his player performance thread and we haven’t even played our first pre-season friendly yet

 

[Withnail]

Just wish we'd crack on signing a left back. Having 1 proper left back isn't good enough.

I am hopeful Txiki can get a deal sorted with Brighton for Cucurella now Zin has gone. Hazard a guess at £40m plus add ons.

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

No brainer mate as FFS has signed a new contract.….

Oh yeah. Forgot about him!

 

[citymad]

32 mill is a bargain for an established international and serial trophy winner.

He is now a serial trophy dodger -:)

 

[hello]

He is now a serial trophy dodger -:)

It’s easier to move in that direction just look at everyone the rags have signed for the last 5 years.

Watching the live training on youtube and Zin isnt there.

On his way to Orlando I believe.

 

[FantasyIreland]

I agree, but he's also a very likeable lad regardless, long before the russians he wanted to stay, knowing he wouldn't play his real position, but tried to make it his, that's a great attitude, and why we like him.

We all like him,but a first choice left back for City he isn't and it's why the move to a lesser team in Arsenal (same as Gabby) makes sense.

Subsequently,the over reaction to his sale is clearly beyond football.

 

[FantasyIreland]

And? Are players and fans not both human? Bit of a perverse point.

A little bit, yes I'll admit. But what I think of him as a City player hasn't changed because of that. He has been great for us, and wish him all the best.

For 3 of his 4 seasons as a LB, he played more than any other LB we had in any given season, with the exception of the last one when Cancelo was just brilliant. He has been more than just a fringe player people make out, and we wouldn't have won what we have without him imo.

Good enough deal for the club, great move for him. Everyone happy.

I am not debating or arguing your point,as i agree.

I am however attempting to offer an explanation for what i,and others,consider to be disproportionate praise and devastation.

 

[FantasyIreland]

Why have we sold him

 

[jollylescott]

It is going to cause some thinking on the match day thread though. No Sterling, no Jesus and no Zinchenko. Who will get it this season? Has Grealish suddenly gone to the top of the tree?

I can sense a bit of action on Cole Palmer's thread if he makes the slightest of mistakes :-(
