Pablo Zabaleta - 2016/17 performances

[domalino]

Zaba has a good point, IMO the club has to make players learn English. Being comfortable speaking in English must make them feel a million times more at home, not to mention it means they can do interviews which bonds them to the fanbase.

On top of that it must be better for marketing.

I can't believe Aguero has still not learned the language, but we should be right on top of it with Sané, Jesus and anyone who follows behind them.

No joke, I wouldn't bat an eye if you introduced yourself as Javier Zabaleta :)

I've heard that red **** Valencia, to this day, having spent 10 years + in the uk, can't speak a sentence...

Kun isnt fluent by any means but his English is fine...

Schooling plays a big part in South American players, a good proportion don't even finish high school!

His influence when he came on yesterday was immense. He is the fucking man and a legend , makes no difference if he gives a good performance or bad performance, he leaves everything out on the pitch .

I saw this earlier

62': City 2-3 Monaco Enter Pablo Zabaleta. FT: City 5-3 Monaco Game changer?

 

[ali benarbia's studs]

He should have started yesterday, regardless he was on the park. He gave his all as usual, I was soo relieved to see him on the park.

Is he worth another year?

I think Clichy and Sagna are definitely done here after the season. Kolarov has another year on his contract and has become a quite reliable figure (at CB especially), so maybe there is room for Pablo too. I'd love it on an emotional basis; that'd be his 10th season! And he can still do a job and is a nice option to have to play that inside fullback role, not to mention that Pep also used him as a box-to-box CM (though it backfired against Everton).

I'm not too sure whether it'd be a good idea to buy 2 new right backs in the summer, I'd rather 1 LB and 1 RB, though I'd love if Maffeo was somehow included in our 'first 22'. We'll see, I guess.
