Oleksandr Zinchenko | Joins Arsenal for £30m

[Mr-Mertle]

AC Milan, remember them, if not go and watch that side, they were magnificent.

I’ve read the original post as it was stated. “Most decorated Ukrainian in the PL”. As in, won the most in the Premier League. Obviously Schevchenko was a better player.

he was the match changer v villa

Agree with your points but Zinch wasn't *the* match changer v Villa. Raz and Kevin contributed great assists, Gundo scored two, and Rodri had to be perfect to score from Zinch's assist, 99% of the PL players wouldn't have scored from there.

To downplay the contributions of Gundogan, Rodri, Kevin and Sterling in order to big up Zinch's impact sems widespread on here but still feels weird. If there's one man who changed the game it was Gundogan. Several players contributed a lot, Zinch was one of them.

Just like Raz & Jesus the time has come to move on although I would of kept Zinc if we had a choice.

All 3 have been huge city players.

Good luck to them all & they fully deserve a cheer when back at city in a different shirt.

Once a blue always a blue

So it was a team effort then as per usual

Seriously what he was there to do really dont and never have rated him with or without the ukraine flag draped over him. The babies on here are unreal sometimes

He was a wonderful player to have around the squad, never let us down and was clearly liked by one and all, but the fact remains whenever he played he was our weakest link and hence a player the opposition always targeted.

I hope he goes on to have a wonderful career and play week in week out as he craves.

Дякую тобі

Just had a panic with Sky Sports News "Transfer News" and De Bruyne in a half City/half Arsenal shirt only to realise it was Zinchenko... At least this solves that error from happening again!

Good luck to him, he never found a role for us in midfield and I guess he was always just filling in. Fantastic at doing so, but I expect an upgrade in that position now. And maybe even Phillips can learn the role?

It was 1:0 Villa when Zinch came in. Then 2:0 after Zinch was nearly 30 minutes on the pitch. Only after Gundo and Sterling came in, the really important changes happened. We got better after Zinch came in, big credit to him!, but we got even better after Pep subbed in Sterling and Gundogan. Several players changed the game, not just one. To say that only one player changed the game (*the*!) is to imply that the impact of the other subs was smaller, and thus to downplay the latter's contributions. Game changes without goals mean little in football.
