He's been fantastic for us and I wish him every success if he goes to Arsenal.
Apart from winning the CL, the players that are leaving have won everything else. Whilst we are sad to see hard workers like Jesus and Zinchenko leave, it makes you wonder whether Pep knows that the squad needs a refresh to inject enough hunger to keep going for more trophies. If everybody in the squad has pretty much won everything, it must get increasingly hard to motivate them all.
Imagine having a squad as good as ours, bolstered each season by 2 or 3 new signings and also a few promoted youngsters all hungry to win their first few trophies.

Never scored a League goal for City.
He's going to score against us isn't he.

FTFYHe's always been treated like the guy doing a job filling in at left back by Pep. I wish him well.

He cant go , i wont allow it !
He played in a competitive match...regardless of any administrative details the intent was clearly to go forward with 4 FBs...are you an attorney or are you simply being disingenuous?...No, he was never named in our squad for last season as they are registered at the end of the transfer window.
Makes a lot of sense, Zin probably wants more playing time at this stage of his career. We get a good fee and Arsenal get someone who can play Midfield and cover for sicknote Tierney at fullback.
This close season is looking like a major squad refresh/rebuild which augurs well for Pep staying another 3/4 years at least.
The key factor is the core players are remaining and those going/gone are being replaced by hungry quality replacements. If we just end up getting a left back in addition to what we have , then we are in for another exciting season.
A big factor in the fees I believe is not just the quality but the fact that they have all been here and at some stage renewed contracts without kicking up a stink about playing time. That reflects well on the character of the players

He spent ages alone celebrating and applauding the South Stand after the Villa game. Got the feeling then that he would be off. Wish him well.

Shit. I like Zinky.
If his wife gets homesick for Manchester. Plenty of us here to support her.

The sentiment that goes with one of our players leaving just shows what a fantastic a squad we had and have.
I’m not very objective when it comes to Zinchenko. Imho the best left back we have ever had according to the system Pep likes to play. He made the left side tick. Somehow just somehow Pep never felt too comfortable with Zinchenko in the line up. I always was. Very much so.
Another one I wish well. He already was and will be a brilliant professional. Pity it’s one of the so called “top 4” that looks to be his next destination.
Foremost I hope the war at his native country stops asap.

Neither, we could have registered you in that period and not in the squad for the season.He played in a competitive match...regardless of any administrative details the intent was clearly to go forward with 4 FBs...are you an attorney or are you simply being disingenuous?...
If the intention to go with 4 FBs for the season was so important, we would have bought another full back before the window closed.
I think a little bit of a reality check is in order.
The claim we are all talking about literally says 'it will be interesting to see if a bid from arsenal is forthcoming, and then, if Zinchenko would agree to a move away'.
The headline, thread title change, and the other claims out there all stem from a very guarded claim that says little, at this stage.
Not saying he is unlikely to leave, and it looks well like there is significant momentum maybe. But let's hold off the goodbyes and the hoorays, as this might drag on before anything happens, or doesn't. It was only yeaterday that everything was agreed with Chelsea for Ake, yet today he is expected to stay.
Edit, been pointed out to me that is his older tweet from May that I mistook for today's one.

When your homeland is in the middle of a devastating war, I'm guessing you need your mates around to keep your spirits up !
Why would he swap that guaranteed support and understanding from his colleagues at City for a club where he only knows Jesus and Arteta ?
Head & heart should tell him he needs to stay at City at least till he has the CL winners medal to add to his collection !

That's what Jack Gaughan said in May.The claim we are all talking about literally says 'it will be interesting to see if a bid from arsenal is forthcoming, and then, if Zinchenko would agree to a move away'.
He said today that the move is expected to happen.

I missed that, thanks for pointing out.
