AC Milan, remember them, if not go and watch that side, they were magnificent.

I’ve read the original post as it was stated. “Most decorated Ukrainian in the PL”. As in, won the most in the Premier League. Obviously Schevchenko was a better player.

Agree with your points but Zinch wasn't *the* match changer v Villa. Raz and Kevin contributed great assists, Gundo scored two, and Rodri had to be perfect to score from Zinch's assist, 99% of the PL players wouldn't have scored from there.

To downplay the contributions of Gundogan, Rodri, Kevin and Sterling in order to big up Zinch's impact sems widespread on here but still feels weird. If there's one man who changed the game it was Gundogan. Several players contributed a lot, Zinch was one of them.
 
Just like Raz & Jesus the time has come to move on although I would of kept Zinc if we had a choice.

All 3 have been huge city players.

Good luck to them all & they fully deserve a cheer when back at city in a different shirt.

Once a blue always a blue

He was a wonderful player to have around the squad, never let us down and was clearly liked by one and all, but the fact remains whenever he played he was our weakest link and hence a player the opposition always targeted.

I hope he goes on to have a wonderful career and play week in week out as he craves.

Дякую тобі
 
Just had a panic with Sky Sports News "Transfer News" and De Bruyne in a half City/half Arsenal shirt only to realise it was Zinchenko... At least this solves that error from happening again!

Good luck to him, he never found a role for us in midfield and I guess he was always just filling in. Fantastic at doing so, but I expect an upgrade in that position now. And maybe even Phillips can learn the role?

It was 1:0 Villa when Zinch came in. Then 2:0 after Zinch was nearly 30 minutes on the pitch. Only after Gundo and Sterling came in, the really important changes happened. We got better after Zinch came in, big credit to him!, but we got even better after Pep subbed in Sterling and Gundogan. Several players changed the game, not just one. To say that only one player changed the game (*the*!) is to imply that the impact of the other subs was smaller, and thus to downplay the latter's contributions. Game changes without goals mean little in football.
 
Got a lot of time for the lad as both a footballer and a person and had he wanted to stay I'd have been more than happy, but some of the reactions to this sale seem to be going a bit overboard.
You'd have thought we were getting rid of Foden and Kev for £50 each going off some comments!
Good luck to him, hope he has a successful career going forward, obviously success without winning a fucking thing though..

Arsenal will benefit from his high technical ability on the ball.

I am always of the mind that any team who has two highly technical players can elevate the rest around them, because they will create the space for others.

Good luck Zin and Gabby.

Some will realise how good these players are (and how superior we are) on the pitch. Buying proven winners with a mentality instilled from the best, i'd expect Arsenal to cement top 4.

Think they forget about our new signings, instead waste their time mourning players we move on.
Dipperness seems to be spreading

Arteta will be under a lot of pressure if they don't in view of the money / signings made.
 
The silver lining is at least Bernardo Silva and Nathan Ake are staying for this season. Kalvin Phillips seems a likeable lad well.
