Why did we let Zinchenko go?

[City_Sean]

Hubris. You can't let people with the quality of Zinchenko go and not replace them. We let him go and then decided our defacto formation would have inverted fullbacks.

It's been a disastrous move. Akin to when Arsenal sold us Clichy and Nasri in the same window.

It was the second goal, he often beat players and put great crosses in the box, he overlapped well, he was a very good versatile player, and always gave 100% and will probably have another prem winners medal come the end of this season

You use the word good and he was good, but is good good enough for City now?

I love Zinchenko but we all forget how lacking he was defensively. With how shambolic our defending is currently, he wouldn’t solve our problem and most people here would be calling to say ‘we should’ve sold him to arsenal when we got the chance’.

Zinchenko leaving isn't the reason we are in the position we are now

Great squad player, but the state of us at this moment and arsenal being top he has little bearing on bar being part if their well drilled squad

Zinchenko's good is better than almost everything that Cancelo has produced in a City shirt.

He'd definitely be good enough for City until we get a genuine left back. It was an exceptionally poor decision to let him leave without a replacement being signed.

Judge us at the end of the season because it's only half way at the moment - in Pep we trust.

Yes clearly good is enough for city now, we had some good players playing vs Southampton, and they had 1 player we deemed not good enough, but was.better than the players on the pitch for us that we deem good I.e. Cole Palmer

You honestly think that Zinchenko is better than peak Cancelo?

Kinell Delph's not on the same planet as Zinchenko.

Delph was absolutely fantastic and played left back more than any other player for us in the greatest league season in English football history.

Easily as good as Zinchenko ever was.

Zinny was a pretty limited player.

People are only questioning the logic because we didn’t replace him.

If we’d have signed a competent, top class left back none of us would be that bothered.

Sadly, the LB position is in the blind spot of everyone at the club. It’s as if we’re so shit scared of doing another Mendy we just don’t bother with that position anymore.
