Oleksandr Zinchenko | Joins Arsenal for £30m

[OrigamiNinja]

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

It’s absolute shite money for someone who has achieved what he has at City. The club say they want £50m+ for our 4th choice CB but are happy to punt Zin out for a measly £35m? Then to top it off we will go and spend £50m+ on Brightons LB who has had one half-decent season in the Prem. Fantastic.

gutted about this one, very passionate about city and gave 110% every game. Will be greatly missed!

Shame. He changed the Villa game. Overall he has played Lb admirably but if Cucu is coming in and an unknown winger then he won’t play. Gotta be realistic, if he is going to leave now is the time. None of us want to see him not making the match day squad. Good luck.

Fuck off Arsenal.

he`s a bit part player though mate and the other point is it sounds like he wants to go? Cucurella is an upgrade on him at LB imo and i think zinny looks better than he is in a team who always has the ball most of the time? Lovely fella, no trouble and able when called upon but never gonna be a number 1 in any position here imo.

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

I can’t believe you’ve bothered to say IF we did. Of course we did. There’s no way City start the season with Mendy with the expectation that he then spends the following 60 games in prison.

I really don't get this one, Cucurella is not an upgrade football wise.

 

[SWP's back]

For Arsenal yes.

Thought you said Zinchenko wouldn’t be sold?

But we knew he wouldn’t play in late August, leaving us time to find a replacement.

We probably couldn’t find a good enough one and decided to go with three.

That's still a decision being made though.

Yep it’s fantastic money.
