Oleksandr Zinchenko | Joins Arsenal for £30m

[waspish]

Slow down, he played just over 500 minutes in the league for us in sides that didn't have much defending to do. I like him as a player, and wish him all the best, but 16m for him is a fair price. Also we don't have a place for him in the squad next season.

Fair enough hope we have a buy back

Can we afford to let him go?

Good young player. Effective cover on the left.

Not convinced yet that Mendy has recovered and Delph can't overlap. If we let Zinchenko go, I think we will need to bring in another left sided player. Could we get a better player who would be happy to understudy for Mendy and Sane?

We really have no choice. With Jorginho and Mahrez joining, we're at our cap for Champions League spaces so he wouldn't be able to be registered there. He'd be well down the pecking order in midfield so if he's a third choice option at LB alone, that doesn't really make any sense. It's a no-brainer to sell him, even if it's a shame to lose young talent.

Nah, I’d be surprised if there was a buy back on this one, he will never be a world beater.

 

[Bozo]

Shame to see him go, seems to have bags of potential and I enjoyed watching him play, but he's not going to get time with us. Good luck.

 

[The Stockport Iniesta]

If he thinks Manchester is unsophisticated....

Haha exactly, think he was getting his face saving excuse in when he was told he was surplus to requirements. Only to end up in Wolverhampton.

 

[Kompany is King]

If he goes I wish him good luck & will watch his career with interest.

 

[berniethebusman]

Not seen a single thing from him to suggest he's some prodigious talent, not even seen anything to suggest he's a better than average talent to be honest. He's disciplined and hardworking which should see him well in the future, but I'd be biting their hands off at that price.

Played out of position everytime he played for us.

Can we afford to let the player who ended the season behind Mendy, Delph, Laporte and Danilo at left back go?

I'm going to say yes.

 

[TRUE BLUE NO1]

So he’s not been sold to Wolves then??

That is what is getting reported....up to you if you want to believe it or not! Until its official it gets ??????

Never going to play his position for us with the players ahead of him. I hope he goes to Wolves, be interesting to see how he does.

 

[manlikepep]

He did a job for us. Got himself 2 medals and was a part of the record breaking 100 point season. I’m sure that’ll stick with him for life. Congratulations to him.

Also think we paid about 2 mil for him so that’s a 14 million pound profit!

 

[waspish]

Thats what it getting reported....up to you if you want to believe it or not! Until its official it gets ??????

Reported it is up to him if he wants to leave plus there is anothe club in for him but don’t know which club it is.

 

[Marvin]

I'm going to say yes.

He's not really a left back though is he. he's a decent squad player who did well for us last season. He'll only improve with age and experience.

 

[berniethebusman]

Thats true & he did an acceptable job but he still didnt show anything to make me think, damn we've got a future star on our hands, not even remotely close. He was in enough attacking positions and not once did i see a number 10 waiting to be unleashed.

 

[@BluePhil8]

Guessing £30m buy back if we're selling that cheap.

Yeah he ain’t going to get first team football at ours maybe he will where ever he goes.

Yes, lastest reports are that the final say will be his but think it sends a big signal to the lad that we are willing to "agree" a price to sell. He wont get much playing time here so think the move would be good for him, if this happens...

 

[berniethebusman]

Hope so I may not overly rate him but i do like the kid, he earned his medals last season.

 

[ADegenerate]

He needs to go elsewhere and lookout for himself. I’m glad he played a solid role for us in this important season and he did it well. I think 16m is a fair price but hopefully we have a buyback in the 30m region even though it probably won’t be activated.

Best of luck OZ.
