Oleksandr Zinchenko | Joins Arsenal for £30m

[TonyM]

Disappointed that he's gone. I wish him the very best on the field and off.

I just hope that whatever we are planning will work.

 

[Cobwebcat]

All the best Zin. I’ll miss you for your passion and your connection to the fans. You are one of a few players to big up Manchester too!

[Don Karleone]

Can't help but love the guy

 

[WestGorton]

A real shame but understand. All the best lad.

 

[Corky]

Need 2 left backs and a striker now. Decent money.

few big names leaving - we have to trust in Pep and the recruiting team but seeing Zinchenko go is tough. All the best son - always welcomed to come back and see us.

Decent profit,but agree with you,need 2 at LB now,as for striker I think you are taking the piss,but can never tell with you really

This is a loss. He's a fantastic part of the squad, gives us something different at fullback and has the ability to play elsewhere if needs be. We need players like that in the squad and we don't have many if any left with his departure.

I don't see bringing in a natural left back to play understudy to Cancelo as an improvement on the squad either if they're just going to be a lesser cancelo. Zinchenko was different, he showed that when he came on against Villa.

Also, £32 million is way too cheap. If Cucurella is costing us £50 million after one good season at Brighton, he's got to be in the same ballpark.
