Oleksandr Zinchenko | Joins Arsenal for £30m

Neither was Aguero. We struggled more at the back than at the front, both were make do for a season situations imo, that the club would address this season.

I agree with him, Cucurella in addition to Zinchenko. Should Zinch leave, another FB in, I can't see us going with 3 again.

we don't need 2LB's. we have Cucurella, Cancelo, ake, wilson

 

[SWP's back]

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.

Right but we still started the season with the expectation of having 4 full backs.

So as things stand we need a left back so when Zin gets sold we need 2 unless we are happy to see Cancelo and Ake/Laporte cover in that position, we also have Wilson-Esbrand

Fair enough. For 3 weeks in August, we had the expectation of having 4 full backs.

It became 3 and we had the expectation of having 3 for the remaining 8 months of the season.

Its very un city like to finish a transfer window showing a pretty good profit.

 

[Asa's left peg]

Update from Simon Stone

That means its a done deal, then. He usually know FA.

 

[Matt Diablo]

Wow some here are really bloody clueless. Zin was in our squad as a left back fundamentally. He aint good enough for that role basically. Comparing him to Zabba is next level fukknownothingness

I would rather give cup games to Wilson-Esbrand

 

[Tricky_Trev]

City will see it as a bit of a windfall. Signed for £1.7m was it? So he’s effectively valueless on the books now. £35m pure profit on the bottom line. I love him though and tbh this departure hurts me more than Sterling & Jesus.

 

[Saddleworth2]

Gabby and Zin personified everything that was great about our squad. Selfless, hardworking, never gave up. Their loss will be felt. I hope those that we bring in to replace have similar strong character.
