Oleksandr Zinchenko | Joins Arsenal for £30m

[The blue phantom]

Simon Stone with his finger on the pulse as usual.....

Yep. Just mentioned on the radio the deal is off.

 

[Rammyblues]

Lock the thread please

 

[Damanino]

If he stays and wont even make the match squad for first 5-10 rounds of PL he might will think about today in different light.

 

[ancoats]

i knew he would stay and the club never pushed him out of the door, so with him playing anywhere down the left and middle he could be cover for 3 or 4 thats the type of player you need in a long hard season

Agreed. He should go.

Wow... will you give me this weekends lottery numbers??

 

[B\connellblue]

Why should he be forced to move? He wants to stay and try to break into the team .fair play to him.

 

[mcb1207]

He still has a couple of weeks to see how the season starts and move to Europe, which he might prefer to Wolverhampton. Not sure he's said he wants to be at City this season, just that he doesn't want wolves.

 

[Tevez City]

When the club accept a bid, the player should leave.

 

[Barcon]

I have a feeling that he has been in touch with City regarding us getting a midfielder in today or possibly a work permit for the other lad.
Either way, i would imagine he has heard something to give him reason to stay (for now).
It might even be that another club has shown interest.

 

[BlueAnorak]

The Wolves fan who told me it was on is very disappointed.
Zinchenko is clearly going to take the option of playing in Europe.

hahahaha if i was that good i would but sadly am not

the lad never wanted to leave and he's got something to offer and maybe his time will come so its nice to see a young lad not having his head turned by money and wants to stay and fight for a place that's great, and even being a bit part player you know you are ready and give it your best when called on

 

[Easy]

Well I doubt he is staying for money, he wont be on a huge amount at City and you would expect that any offer from Wolves dwarfs his current salary. He clearly has confidence in his own ability and wants to stay and fight for his place. That is footballing reasons. Granted, he might be a little delusional but that is something else entirely.

Even worse than leaving for money imo.

Staying on current salary to sit in the stands. It’s a lack of ambition I don’t want to see in any player associated with the club.

He wasn’t making the bench for more than a month near the end of last season. Left out of the community shield squad recently.

Won’t even make bench until the league cup starts in the middle of September. So another whole month of sitting in the stands.

Sorry but this is strange. He has to chance to go to Wolves which play a similar style to us, have a good manager and are investing heavily in the squad showning their ambition to not just stay up but to do something more. He should be jumping at the chance to sign for them...

Except be wouldn't be starting for wolves in midfield ahead of neves or mourinho. Unless they're gonna play him as a wing back he would still be in the bench. Maybe he doesn't want to play wing back?

 

[kippaxchris]

Hope he stays, a great utility player & in my opinion a massive part of the squads fantastic morale

I don't see it lacks ambition on his part.

As it seems he's happy to stay for lower wages it shows fight - that he wants to prove he can make it here.

Said last night, when it seemed this move was back on, I don't think he let us down when called on last year. Good luck to the kid

That said - just maybe he took a look round the Midlands and thought f%^& that

Maybe he has other options abroad and he's waiting till the english window shuts then they buying club can get a better price as there won't be as much competition

I think Wolves were targeting him as a wingback - they have Neves, Moutinho and Dendoncker for midfield. Playing for Wolves as a wingback is hardly the most appealing perspective.

Better than sitting in the stands though

Very strong midfield, that.
