Oleksandr Zinchenko | Joins Arsenal for £30m

[Dax777]

Yeah, we need 5 right-backs and zero natural left-backs. Amazing balance.

I was simply pointing out that Porro was a legitimate option. Not a wingback who wouldn't fit like you claimed.

I was not addressing the issue of Leftbacks b Rightbacks

We must not forget that zinny can play in the left midfield. Our first choice midfield next season will be silva rodri kdb, as a backup maybe philips for rodri and gundo for kdb (i would start gundo nvm) but we don't have a back up for silva (specially left footed) so i think zinny can offer rest to the tiring mid when we have to play a game every 3 days

With this depth we will be inevitable. Plus suppose walker gets and Acl injury(considering he's 32) cancelo will play rb. And then cucu will be the only left back and none of cancelo or cucu will get any rest. We as a elite team need to be prepared for the worst. Same think happened with CB in 2020. We had laporte stones otamendi garcia, but we didn't prepare in case someone gets injured and that really cost us.

Love that squad.

Love that squad.

We are still two signings away from there but i think we will be needing a winger since sterling seems to leave

Zinny would still be my 2nd option for LB.

Cancelo should be a strict RB, moving him back and forth is not a good idea imo, needs rhythm in a specific role.

Move Zinny back to leftback. Cancelo can play primarily on the right. Grealish and Foden can also double as left backup 8's.

Love that squad.

And still we will not win Champions League...

We need 4 different full backs, not 3

 

[Blue Bogey]

Is Zinchenko good enough to be our first choice LB? Sorry Pep, yes he is. Wish Pep and fans would trust him more.

Hardly put a foot wrong when used and he is getting better and better in that position. Still only 25. Started 10 League games last season and the team scored a phenomenal 41 goals in the 10 matches he started and completed 90 mins. For balance those 10 games he started and completed 90 mins we conceded 8. Many think he weakens the team if he plays. These stats do not suggest that.
