Seen lots of comments re Zinchenko…. Just wanted to say maybe the club knew he wanted to move, Arse agreed a fee, he agreed terms and we just concluded that he was a good guy, a loyal servant and deserved to be treated with dignity and respect - and we swiftly granted him his move. Holding him hostage while we signed a replacement would have been pointless and maybe something the club rightly chose not to do. Maybe contrast that behaviour with the actions of the media heralded Spiv Mr Bloom and the way he’s treated his player. We will get no credit but I think City have behaved entirely appropriately with a player who had been exemplary in his conduct whilst with us and who has had a fucking hard time of it recently… (with the war etc..). sometimes you have to do the right thing and on this occasion I’m proud to say we did.

Don't be the voice of reason for this thread, all hope is lost we should all flapping and moaning right now.
 
Press reported our interest in Cucurella a week after the season ended. I suspect we were out some time ago given BHAFC's insistence on their valuation being met but they kept things simmering to entice Chelsea in. Reverse psychology, eh?!

Great post. Sick of reading about Zin (and Grealish!) on this thread.

None, Pep is happy with Cancelo and has praised Aké's ability to cover as either a Ford or a semi-detached

Madness really. If we get an injury at the back we cannot rely on Ake’s poor injury record. Phillips at centre back in one first 5 league games

Zinchenko isn't just a LB though. You're selling a quality international midfield player that can also cover at LB.

Never any use to us a a midfielder though. His value to us was solely as a stand-in FB. So if we end up with a better FB than him for less than £32m (or whatever we got), I’m quite relaxed.
