- Manchester City is my team - until I fucking die.
Nice guy - pretty talented - but ultimately, not quite good enough for City.

Never put a foot wrong against Fulham , and his combination on the left wing with Sane was very good , but he needs to be tested in a big game , the lad has an abundance of talent ,but fear he could end up as "the one that got away" simply because of the quality and depth of our squad , he 's a good kid and gives 100% and is actually defending better than Mendy at the moment. But Mendy will get back to his best and Zinchenko will again be 3rd choice behind Delph , not ideal for a lad trying his utmost to build a career in the game
I’d at least like to see him have a chance in that role for sureA really good player and a nice guy. I'd luje o see gim in the DM position as his touch, tehnique and passing is so good.

I think he should stay and I'd be more than happy to see him take Delph's place. I think he's better on the ball, and he really looks like he belongs in this team.
He's comfortable receiving the ball anywhere on the pitch and his passing (particularly long range) is phenomenal.

Pretty much everything you'd want in a squad player, versatile, professional and seems to be well-liked by the other players - but I think he'll leave for more game time which his ability deserves albeit at a marginally lower level than City, it's staggering how high the bar is for us nowadays.
Haha! This happens to my phone all the time :-)A really good player and a nice guy. I'd luje o see gim in the DM position as his touch, tehnique and passing is so good.
It will be really interesting to see how his career develops. He done the opposite of Sancho - stayed put, placed his trust in his talent and hard work, and taken his few chances well.
What's he got to show for it? Well, the experience of training with the best manager in the world, and some of the best players in the world, nine appearances in various positions and in three competitions. Versatility. A few trophies. A growing reputation that has resulted in some good offers from mid ranking top-tier teams.
Would he be in a better place now had he left in the summer of 2017, say? He'd have had more first team appearances, for sure, and a steep first team learning curve. Probably a bigger physical challenge. But would he really have developed better?
The jury's out, of course, but I feel he's played this very cleverly. He's a much more rounded player. He's developed a decent reputation. He's learned what it takes to be a winner. He seems physically pretty resilient. He's built the foundations of a good future.
My instinct is that he'll have a very good career, whether at City or, more probably, elsewhere, and that his best years - in 5-10 years time - will be very fine indeed.

Fat thumbs, dusky light and a rush to work can do that!
