Oleksandr Zinchenko - 2019/20 Performances

[domalino]

So I didn’t see the Portugal game but have seen him in a couple of other games for Ukraine and he looked excellent. If he is dominating internationals against opposition like Portugal surely he is worth a game in that position this season. Why not against Southampton in the Carabou cup? Midfield of Zin, Phil and Kev would look very tasty.

Yeah I'd be very happy with that midfield.

Lucky bastard.

Don’t know what she sees in the talented, rich and ripped young athlete when (yes, I’ve checked) I have availability.

He's one of the lowest paid players in the team though, with no raise after extension. He's no poor obviously but would be making triple that by now if stayed in Russia instead of coming to city.

I'm gonna call bullshit on that one.

I don't see any scenario in which he signs a 5 year deal/ 3 year extension in 2019 and stays on the same money he was in 2016 as an unknown 20 year old kid signed for £1.8m.

Not only does it make zero sense from his perspective, it makes no sense from our perspective to not reward Zinchenko financially for going from nobody to first team regular at City who's contributed to 6 trophies.

Not paying people what they're worth isn't clever squad management, it just leads to unrest in and makes the player susceptible to getting tempted away, especially the kind of player who is showing he could be a world class midfielder but is putting shifts in at LB to help the team and not starting every week.

Given that we were taken apart by Wolves midfield last week it did make me wonder if he could have made a difference in that central area where Gundo and Rodri were totally overwhelmed. He must be given a chance in his proper position.

Taken apart is a big overstatement. We hit on the break when we committed men forward. With a fern playing as makeshift CB and otamendi having his bad day

Possibly. I don’t know. I’d be willing to swap places with him for a few days though.

I imagine she has checked that out and it passed muster.

Being from the Ukraine the last place that he would want to play would probably be in Russia - the two countries are in the midst of a cold war and Ukrainian citizens have been been arrested in Russia for dubious reasons.

I am just hoping that his bird moves to the UK and joins the cast of my wife's favourite program Real Housewives of Cheshire - the existing cast are a bit skanky and long in the tooth - e.g. Ashley Ward's wife Dawn. I hate the bloomin program and Vlada would improve it 1000%.

Is he back? Thought he'd be back around the same time as Rodri
