Crazy to think that this time last year he looked to be on his way out, and most thought it was probably for the best. He's been consistently good all season, I can see him undergoing the kind of transformation we've seen in Raheem, under Pep.
I see him in more like I do Kompany. Came to City playing one position and having to learn a new one but working his butt off to help the team. I also see an intensity in him this year that I didn't know was there, I'm thinking he could end up being very special and a team leader.
 
Oleksandr Zinchenko: “It’s been an unbelievable season, seriously, nothing more. I can’t even describe this moment and I don’t think no one can do this again. We did an unbelievable job and we have made history, nothing can take that away from us...”

“But I also see in this team the desire to do more. This is why we are Manchester City. We just have to show ourselves, our quality, in every single game for the future. We want to be the greatest team [in English football]...”

”That’s the target and we just have to improve ourselves. Especially me, because I know I can get better. We are still learning to be honest and I think we can do even better.”

Really, I was just thinking what position he played today?
He played box-to-box CM in a midfield 3, he had a DM behind him and a more attacking midfielder ahead of him, think of him like Xavi.

Honestly, this is where he will end up for us I believe in the long run. All the attributes we like about him in LB go up a level when he does more of that in midfield.

If we buy Rodri we can play a midfield 3 of Rodri, Zinchenko and Foden aged 22, 22, and 19. The quality at these ages is phenomenal.

Back-up to an older Gundogan/Dinho/D Silva/Kevin with Bernardo being young enough to be part of both groups.
 
Just wanted to finish by saying that Zinchenko basically plays like De Jong, people would be going crazy over him if he was Dutch and playing for Ajax, great performance against Serbia but... Serbia was also incredibly shit, like I've never seen Serbia this bad, and they have good players.
 
If he wasn't with us already we'd be talking about buying him for 40 million. He is superb with attitude A. I see on transermarket he's valued at 15 million .

40 million? You grossly underate my guy :(

65 million minimum

That comparative has been made previously.

He's naturally a midfielder and at any other club that is where he would be playing.
