Zabaleta confirms he will stay at City

[urban genie]

Let him come back have a chat with Pep then see if he wants to stay or is wanted ny the mamager, he is a blue and a Manc by default so we can afford him that.

all thing must pass and leaving when on top is great for him we will always have a spot in our hearts for zabba

Couldnt agree more. Love the fella and will always have a huge soft spot for him, but when the time is right, its right....and its right.

Yaya is the most glaring example in all of football today of what can happen when you hold on too long.

Listening to Pep yesterday about wanting great team spirit,i cant stop thinking why let Zab go then.
This man oozes City,he loves the club,the fans and fights till the end.Must be a role for zab.

That was exactly my thought as well. Zab is City through and through and along with Vinnie are absolute leaders of the team. They both embody exactly what Pep was talking about in that interview and even if its as a backup role i still think Zab has a lot to offer us. He is an absolute hero of mine and would hate to see him go.

Kolarov, who we know is about to move wasn't at training today but Zabaleta was so that may be something to hang on to. Or it could mean nothing but who am I to destroy the hopes of millions of City fans?

The difference between Zaba and Yaya is Zaba lives and breathes the club, his passion is endless. I think he'd be good for another year, however I wouldn't be opposed to using Maffeo as backup to Sagna next season and letting Zab go if that's what he wants.

Completely agree about the passion, but not sure I could stand to watch Pablo struggle again like he did last season. It was tough to watch at times.

Hoping the struggles were a by product of his injury, the attacking zab from a couple of years ago would have absolutely thrived in a Pep team.

He said last night he wants to stay. Had a meeting with Pep today to see if he's in this seasons plans. If he leaves for wherever it will be because he's not in Pep's plans. Loves the club.

Could he not play as a DM? Just a terrier to regain possession?
