Angelino

Same here, I think he's ready to grow into the fernandinho role and given his history at City where he has had to fight and prove his place he will be a great for us.

I was thinking the same myself, he seems quite a versatile lad and is a fighter. I would like to see him play in Midfield to see how he fairs.
 
Never really understood why we let him go. Of that crop of players he was the standout for me!
Khaldoun mentioned it in last years interview we see selling with a buyback and sell on a better way for some players to get game time and improve than a loan, if this works out seems he may have been right...again.
 
This needs stopping.
Zinchenko has won 2 titles and a double and a quad playing left back, and has yet to lose a game.
He’s a left back now.
Until he isn’t. But he’s on par with the top 10% of left backs now and to say he isn’t a left back cheapens his accomplishments in that role.
OK it's official he's a left back - until his next mistake costs us a result I suppose - but Walker gets away with it so why not.
 
One point made there is that a player can't be transferred twice in a transfer window, so City can't spin around and sell him again this Summer. Could loan him I suppose ...
May be wrong on this but I think the rule is they can't play for 3 teams so we could sell him as long as we don't play him first

Whoever said that doesn't know what they are talking about.

Koolhand Khaldoon is never wrong. He spoke with the greatest authority that it was a 'muffin' and not a barm!
 
I think Maffeo also deserved a shot as well though, because he really did show up very well defensively, at the swamp & his attacking play was good enough to be worked on.
He definitely deserved his chance after Girona (honestly even more players deserved their chance) but the situation played out how it did. Similar to Patrick Robert's who deserved a shot and then he and/or city decided on another loan spell. Goes to show how youth player career paths are not this linear increasing path, can go any direction.
 
If the plan is to use Zinchenko more in midfield being second choice to Mendy is worth the chance.

i would have thought though that if mendy does get injured zinchenko would move into left back ( zinchenko is first choice lb anyway). also zinchenko will barely play if hes moved to midfield.

not sure if it is the right move for angelino either.
