Oleksandr Zinchenko | Joins Arsenal for £30m

If it's £35 mill, then Arsenal are getting him at a good price. This is a player who can do a creditable job at left back, and is a highly skilled midfielder. How many players can say that?
Also. I hope we're bloody sure of getting Cucurella at this point. Otherwise, this is starting to look like a City car boot sale.

I'm surprised he wasn't our first choice for the role. My only thinking was that Martinez was chosen over him for the added bonus that he can cover centre back.

Otherwise surely Zinchenko makes more sense for us, and Martinez makes more sense for Utd given who the 2 manages are.
 
I wonder if this is why Edozie has not gone yet……pretty sure it was him on players returning to CFA with Mbette. Always looked a handful last season although I didn’t see him regular at u23 level.
 
That was quick.

I love the guy, so this one hurts a bit.

£35m is a great deal though (and I assume this means Cucurella is close).

It's okay to want Cucurella, literally everybody here does...

But how can you be so utterly convinced he will outperform Zinchenko in attack who has already been playing for us for a while and shown how well he can make our attack tick, compared to a player who has never played for us.

There isn't enough information, and I'm betting you saw one tweet and some youtube videos and convinced yourself solely on that.

I have watched Zinny I have watched Cucurella Zinny is not a full back.
 
I wonder if Arsenal will play him in midfield? Either way, signed a good footballer and, as far as I can tell, a really great man. Think they would have done much better with the run-in last season with him in the team, a proper leader on and off the pitch.

ah shite :-( £35m is good money though and another huge profit on what we paid for him.

It’s absolute shite money for someone who has achieved what he has at City. The club say they want £50m+ for our 4th choice CB but are happy to punt Zin out for a measly £35m? Then to top it off we will go and spend £50m+ on Brightons LB who has had one half-decent season in the Prem. Fantastic.
 
Shame. He changed the Villa game. Overall he has played Lb admirably but if Cucu is coming in and an unknown winger then he won’t play. Gotta be realistic, if he is going to leave now is the time. None of us want to see him not making the match day squad. Good luck.

Fuck off Arsenal.

he`s a bit part player though mate and the other point is it sounds like he wants to go? Cucurella is an upgrade on him at LB imo and i think zinny looks better than he is in a team who always has the ball most of the time? Lovely fella, no trouble and able when called upon but never gonna be a number 1 in any position here imo.

If we did, we could have bought BM’s replacement the day he was suspended. The market was still open.

I can’t believe you’ve bothered to say IF we did. Of course we did. There’s no way City start the season with Mendy with the expectation that he then spends the following 60 games in prison.

But we knew he wouldn’t play in late August, leaving us time to find a replacement.

We probably couldn’t find a good enough one and decided to go with three.

That's still a decision being made though.
