Oleksandr Zinchenko | Joins Arsenal for £30m

[yeah whatever !!]

One positive is at least Bernardo Silva and Nathan Ake are staying for this season

Thats two positives bud and I totally agree with both of them.

Fixed. I cant operate above a certain temperature

 

[Deepest Blue]

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..

Let's be charitable and give him the Europa League.

 

[remember arthur mann]

Another City dropped bollock, anyone would think we are being undermined. If we pay any more for Cucaracha than we have got for Zinchenko, we've been done.

 

[VinceYoungisaBLUE]

Remember when we were losing the title on the last day and Zinchenko came on and had a huge part in us turning it around and scoring 3 goals in 5 minutes? Pepperidge Farm remembers

Out of interest, what are these other 'dropped bollock' incidents you're referring to?

 

[Cotton Weave Blue]

Arteta will be under a lot of pressure if they don't in view of the money / signings made.

Agreed I think its crunch time for him. Got to get off to a good start but those 2 players will help both pressing and ball retention.

 

[Come-on-City]

Happy for Jesus to get a move to be a star man, couldn't care less about Sterling given his attitude the last year but gutted to see Zinchenko move if it goes through.

 

[Mifred]

Don`t be a smart arse.

Smart or intellectual??

 

[OB1]

Sorry to see any of last year's squad leave. Zin has done some excellent service; not least in his final game. Also, he's a warrior, but he's never going to hold down a regular first XI berth, especially in midfield, at City.

Wish him well...

 

[buckshot]

I feel like Zinc would have seen plenty of playing time this year. Maybe he didn't want to play at LB anymore but I can't imagine him wanting to leave City though.

 

[mat]

Proper refresh this season.

Be interesting to see how the new bods blend in.

I like Zinky and it's a shame he's going. Deffo score a Thunderbastard against us.

 

[KCblue]

Love Zin and everything he did for us. Wish him all the best at Arsenal and hopefully gets a chance to play some midfield there. That said, for a player we spent less than £2m on, that stayed at the club for years and played a part in winning titles and being a player that fans and players adored, we owed it to him to let him seek out an opportunity for himself. In my humble opinion, we got a great fee for a player who was never going to be first choice for us. All the best to Zin.

I love Oleks but he isn’t a better left back than Cucurella, and as much as I would begrudge paying £50m or more for him that will still be the case. You really think Oleks is a world class left back?

 

[OntarioBlue]

Has this been confirmed yet ? I don’t see anything on the bbc but I did read In the MEN that Pep said they had dinner and said goodbye.

 

[Uncle Wally One Ball]

Why have we sold him

To help pay for a proper left back

Haha.
Sold all our fringe (average) squad players and wallys like you think we should just hoard them instead.

I don’t think either of them are but my definition of World Class is top 3 in the World in their position so subjective.

Think it’s just what we and hopefully pep needed.
