Zabaleta confirms he will stay at City

[pavelsrnicek]

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

He's played there for us in the past and wasn't particularly good at it.

I'm a huge fan of Zabaleta but I can't see how he will fit into a Pep team.

I'm sure Pep will evaluate him, and how he fits the required standard over the next few weeks. I hope he fits in.

 

[Jacob Smith]

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.

I think last year was different as the team was fairly stagnant thanks to a manager who suffered from a lack of planning and impetus, I think he'd do a lot better this year in a team that fights for each other

I want him to stay but I don't see how. He doesn't have the pace when wingers bust him on the outside. Will always over him to bits though.

 

[Hart of the Matter]

Zab puts the man into Manchester. Legend. Has bled for the cause on many occasions. Deserves respect and perhaps a testimonial but he was off the pace last year. Would prefer if he ended his career with dignity elsewhere than simply fade from view here.

He is on that back to training video. It's so nice to see him at City again.

Can't see him leaving. Btw, it's quite funny to read all these comments saying he's not good enough or that he has been bad and/or that he will never be on form again, etc. Ridiculous

Is it just me or has Pep got a bit of a dodgy right leg? Look bow legged

Have to sign another manager in case his leg gives out during the season. I did hear of a chairman once who broke his leg in a cup final . Probably a fairy tale though, as no one has ever talked about it. As for Zab ?
Zabba please don't go
Zabba please don't go
Zabba please don't go ,on to anywhere else
You know we love you so
Zabba please don't go

Appologies to the Animals.

If Pep decides he stays,he stays.
Should he leave,he'll always remain Mr
Manchester and a club legend.
Serie A might suit him at this stage.
Recently wingers in the league have been
tearing him a new one..Don't want it to
reach a point where fans 'hate' him for
his performances like to a certain extent
with Yaya.

He must've been backing Stone Island badge too often.
