Why did we let Zinchenko go?

[Gazza]

Funny that because I remember him coming on at 2 0 down to villa at home and he beat several men to set up the first goal, zinchenko changed that game, without him the dippers would be champions

as I have answered previously, I said not very often and name another time he did it.
(It was the second goal and one man BTW)

 

[meeesh]

But better than what we have now…

Hindsight is a wonderful thing isn’t it,even in football,he was let go as was deemed not good enough,and as a match goer myself I could fully see why,but how some are making him out to be the new Philip Lahm are still hurting from yesterday,and need to have a think

 

[come-on-barney]

FFS, he wanted to go and claimed he supported Arsenal and wanted the move. What’s more to understand?

 

[Gazza]

I'd like to point out that I liked Zinchenko as a person and as a player but to build him up into a World class player is insane - he did the same job at left back as Delph did but I didn't see many on here crying when he left.

 

[Bozo]

Sterling and Jesus I didn't mind seeing leave. Zinchenko, I still can't get my head around. He should have never left.

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

Actually, in order of keeping, my take is - First Jesus - Second Sterling - Third Zinchenko

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

But the role they played at left back was equal - both midfielders playing out of position in a season we won the league.

No problem with shifting Sterling, wouldn't like to pick between Oleks and Gabby.

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.

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

 

[Delphacito]

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’.

 

[urban genie]

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.

 

[Gazza]

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

 

[Mariosfireworks]

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?

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.

 

[markbmcfc]

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.
