Oleksandr Zinchenko | Joins Arsenal for £30m

Id be happy for zin and ake to stay .

100%, would still really hope both stay as well.

But if they are both chasing minutes and IF we hopefully get Cucurella, Zini's minutes maybe reduced further, so it's understandable.

Personally, its too many changes but there is still time in the transfer window to get the suitable replacements in.

Seen the fee is rumored to be an asking price of £35m? Big profit if he goes and maybe again he’s another who has asked to go?

You’ve chosen the weirdest hill to die on here.

Let’s have a look at see how Cucurella does in this side then shall we. I expect he will play a great deal more than Zinchenko did last year, care to guess why he’d be likely to play more?

I addressed this yesterday. He may well be better than OZ, especially defensively, but his offensive stats last season are not as good per 90 mins as OZ.

This was the only point I was making.

If we spend £50m on him, I suspect he will play more than OZ, if he is still here.

So you don’t think we went into the season with the intention to have 4 full backs?

If we did, we could have bought BM’s replacement the day he was suspended. The market was still open.

Well damn, good luck to Zinchenko I guess. Wasn't expecting that.

 

[richards30]

ah shite :-( £35m is good money though and another huge profit on what we paid for him.

 

[Blue Smarties]

Big chunk of change considering his initial fee. Hopefully means we can top up the offer to Brighton.

 

[houraisen]

very disappointed.
We must accelerate Cucurella deal.

£35m what a great deal....
