Oleksandr Zinchenko | Joins Arsenal for £30m

[Tb1981]

Would prefer him (not a natural LB or defender) over Firpo

As usual though Barca can’t afford him!
Angelino, Garcia, zinchenko......standards have really dropped at that club
Is bartomeu going to get a sky blue kit and hope messi thinks he is at city

Can you imagine Barcelona buying Garcia and Zin from us at an exorbitant price? It's like playing a football manager and opening a new user on another team to buy your worst player for crazy money

Oohh, you sneaky fucker, I never thought of that new user thing.

You’re not playing it right if you don’t start every game with a new user manage man United blow your entire budget on a random league 2 player, release as many players as you can and then immediately retire. I’ve not played one for years now but it’s nice to see they’re doing that in real life now to save all that bother.

 

[Damanino]

If Ake is really taking over LB position (first choice ahead of Mendy, or 2nd LB when Mendy is injured/rotated) I dont see how Zinchenko will get some game time. Or like 3 starts in a row.

Also Cancelo will be played in LB more than Zinch.

If we coud get 10-15m pounds for him I would sell him, cant see offers higher than that for him.

Pep will never play him in his real role, but just once I would like to see in CM/AM, where he plays in national team. Maybe in a cup game?

Why dont we just play him in midfield , that is his position and he is good there for his country , i really dont want to lose him, doesnt he have four years left on his contract ? I wouldnt sell or loan barca covid

If we're going to play that double pivot more I'd actually love to see Zinchenko given a shot there.

Pep wants his pivots to be capable with both feet. Fernandinho, Rodri, Gündogan all can play with left or right, even Bernardo is ahead of him in those terms (even tho he's not quite two footed). Could explain having number of options as the reason why he's not needed or tried there. If sacrificing him means we get a proper left back then it's for the better.

Has several offers on the table and City want to move him on - Sam Lee

Any of those offers close to the 18m wolves offered a couple seasons ago?

Assuming we have someone lined up to replace him it might be best for all if he was to move on, quite like the kid but he would only ever be a squad filler with us.

Rodri? Can play with both feet?

He couldn't play with himself son.

Relax, his pace is the only issue. He's 24, he will learn to be much more defensively aware in due course.

Delusional.

Delusional.

No, hopeful. You could do with it.

 

[leo_city]

Won't notice any issues with Rodri once full back problem is fixed. Bookmark this if you want.

Zinchenko needs to go, Walker needs proper competition

 

[Zenmanc]

Delusional.

He has a good game he's a "beast" he has a poor one (clearly not the only one) and he's terrible. We've won 4 titles in like 10 years... We just played our 2nd premier game in a season that will not be easy for anyone in a time where a little positivity goes a long way. Leave the flapping and sky falling to the children: either toughen up, stick with it and actually support the team and the changes (Rodris not going anywhere) or cry like a baby and blame a player who at least isn't laughing off his own screw ups.

I don’t think signing a fullback is going to make Rodri any quicker is it? I’m fairly sure we will still notice Rodri fading out of camera shot as he jogs back whilst the opposition midfield have a free run at our defence.

We spent £60 million on competition for Walker

That's the point, Pep should play him over Walker.
