Why did we let Zinchenko go?

[Centurions]

He was a great squad player. He was also never going to be the answer to our LB problem.

Most probably saw a season with Cancelo at LB, supported by Ake and/or Gomez. On the face of it, no problem.

The issue hasn’t been letting Zin go, the issue has been Cancelo having a mare and subsequently acting like a big baby. Now the supporting cast have become the main event and some are thinking ‘if only we still had Zin’. Zin was also supporting cast. Ake is doing OK. Zin would have done OK too, but neither are/were the long-term answer at LB.

My main gripe with letting Zin go was the price we basically gave him away for. He wanted to go…fine but we got a pittance for him.

He went for exactly what he was worth. Not to mention we made a big profit on the books.

Won’t win fuck all with Arsenal

So you’re saying he will win stuff?

Plenty of time after he has hung up his boots to pay respects, both ways.

He confessed to supporting Arsenal and left.
As far as I am concerned, he can fuck right off.

Yes , I am a dirty blue bastard.

I bet his wife gave Arteta a tongue lashing yesterday

It was very obviously hurting him not being in Blue last night.

Pep doesnt want players that arnt prepared to sit on the bench when they don’t fit his tactics for particular games or run of games.. They obviously expressed a wish to leave and it was granted .. Both fantastic for City and played their part in full during their time here .. Life and football go on .. Zinny made a bit of a dick of himself last night but I won’t hold that against him for long :-)
