Oleksandr Zinchenko | Joins Arsenal for £30m

[Alan Harper's Tash]

I'm not going to argue with you...if you think Zinny is a better LB than Cucurella, then God bless you...in the eyes of those that rate footballers for a living its not even close...

All I have said is that I am to be convinced Cucurella is an offensive upgrade on Zinchenko.

I have not said he is better defensively nor is he quicker.

How can you be certain Cucurella ismore of an attacking threat than Zinchenko, the naturally attacking midfielder?

Well, those are the stats from the people championing Cucurella over Zinchenko, both in here and in the It’s Quiet Thread.

The number of chances they create are similar per 90 minutes, with Zinchenko assisting 4 times to Cucurella’s 2.

Zinchenko also averages more progressive passes per 90 minute.

His defensive stats aren’t as good as Cucurella, but his attacking ones at least equal Cucurella’s and sometimes exceed.

Much appreciated!

Much appreciated!

They are quantified in the other thread if you want to look at the data.

I don't know how anyone can doubt Zinchenko's genuine love of the club.

I'd wager it goes further than many on here.

If he goes it's because he wants to play midfield regularly. They may up his salary too. No other reasons.

Ohhhhhh,harsh but true

Attacking from the LB position Cucurella is better...as a midfielder Zinny is better...

Any stats to actually back that up?
