Oleksandr Zinchenko | Joins Arsenal for £30m

[hammocity]

Will be a great player and can see him ending up at a top Italian team, I would have said 25m minimum. Compare, 12m initial fee for Zinchenko with, 22.5m for James Maddison, Wolves are stealing him at that price, guaranteed future 40m player.

 

[St.Pauli support]

If we want to strengthen our squad
by adding Jorginho and Mahrez
we need 2 foreign spots.
Yaya is out.
Who else than Zinchenko could be the other one to leave?

I like that lad as well but we have to move on and we have enough and homegrown cover at LB and even more so in midfield.

He would have gone last year if bloody Sanchez had arrived, and he was part of a great season.

We can cheer him wherever he is.

Nah, I’d be surprised if there was a buy back on this one, he will never be a world beater.

Nice lad but unlikely to make it at what is now our level sell on more appropriate in this case.

guaranteed future 40m player.

Maybe but certainly not guaranteed

 

[Tevez City]

I hope he do well with Wolves.

Good luck Zinchenko

if that is the case then it makes a lot more sense.

This is mostly true. Should've commanded £20m.

I think he's decent and has good potential, but it's unlikely we'll miss him or he'll become a great.

Zinchenko has never stepped foot in the academy!

We bought him when he's already been playing senior football in Russia, loaned him to PSV for a season and then he spent a season in the first team.

Sorry, I'm a bit out of the loop after 12 years in Oz. Safe to say City have developed him though

 

[FantasyIreland]

What's the point in even having an academy?? Disgraceful....!!

 

[Tricky_Trev]

Can we afford to let him go?

Good young player. Effective cover on the left.

Not convinced yet that Mendy has recovered and Delph can't overlap. If we let Zinchenko go, I think we will need to bring in another left sided player. Could we get a better player who would be happy to understudy for Mendy and Sane?

That’s really not the issue here. There’s simply no space in the squad for him after Jorginho and Mahrez.
