Because Zinny is an attacking midfielder, not a left-back, we have plenty of better attacking midfielders than him, but we desperately need a left-back & have done for years.
We’ve not desperately needed one as we’ve won 4 out of 5 league titles, losing the only because we had no central defence.

What this might do is make us 5% better.
 
Ok, but it doesn’t change that City have currently two fullbacks in their entire squad. 90% of his appearances have been at lb so imma assume we can class him as a fullback
You really think he is a first choice full back? As I said he has been a STAND IN full back, an excellent one, very much like Delph, but both are midfield players who did a great STAND IN job as left backs
 
Until Martin Blackburn or Gaughan tweet otherwise its on.

Zinchenko deal isn't even done yet and Brighton are still trying to get the replacement in.
 
Can I make a radical suggestion?

How about if the people flapping and clucking because we haven't signed a left back wait until we haven't signed a left back before flapping and clucking?

Would that work for everyone?
We don't give a cluck cos we're all flapped up, MCFC ok; )
 
Have they? If we know Brighton’s valuation of Cucurella, then we know we are either willing to pay it or we aren’t.

We could leave an open ended £45m offer on the table and see if that eventually gets accepted, but there is no bidding war. Brighton don’t need to sell and have a valuation of their player of the season.
I think on balance Brighton are likely to be in a stronger position knowing we have less cover for the position.

Of course we can always shop elsewhere.
