Zabaleta confirms he will stay at City

[stan bowles]

What a man and what a player for us. Sad day to hear he's on his way. Best wishes for all you've done for us, Zaba.

Gutted. He literally bled for our team. Really wanted him to finish his career with us. All the best Zabs.

Gutted to hear this, although I knew it was likely.

As people have already said he bled for the team and was one of the most committed players we've ever had.

Thanks for everything Zaba and best of luck at your new club. Hope to see you at City Square in the future!

For the man, nay, the legend himself;

Gutted, best of luck to him. If the rest of the team had half the commitment he had on the pitch we would have walked the league last season.

A true City hero.

Sad as there are so many shithouses in this squad who should leave before Zaba

"Zabaleta has given a verbal agreement to Roma. Now just waiting for the 'OK' from City, who are taking some time to decide."

Is there an outside chance we might reconsider selling him? I hope so.

So sad about this.

 

[BLUE THUNDER]

why we're getting rid of Zaba when he is twice the player Sagna is baffles me. He had an injury interrupted year last season and is 2 years YOUNGER than Sagna.
At his best he leaves Sagna for dead especially going forward. I just dont get it. He is far from over the hill and at 31 has good football left in him. Sagna should be the one making way, older and less of a player.

The media will be less sorry to see him go than we are.

He was the fly in the ointment to their routine allegations about City 'mercenaries', even though accuracy never bothered them.
