Zabaleta linked with summer move?

The last two phases of the game were Zab making two challenges, knowing we were a man light.

Given absolutely no protection in the first half but he was excellent and his usual inspirational self.

In terms of legend, he will rightly take his place.

A model professional and one of the greatest right-backs in the Premier League era.

The one near the end where he ran to the opposite side and took two Everton players out nearly had me shedding tears of joy.

Yes that was brilliant could tell he wanted it he's a true WARRIOR.

He showed to those last night (not that I needed convincing) who thought he was finished that there's plenty left in the Zabba tank yet. Who the fuck wouldn't want Zabaletta in our match day squad?
 
I reckon his courage, passion and warrior mentality flows through the team. Sagna has done a great job this season, but Zab's the man for the big games. And he wouldn't look out of place with the captains armband. Zab is a true leader.

Fingers crossed he doesn't leave at the end of the season.

Brilliant last night - did one tackle where he took two out and I thought he was injured but he simply rolled back up. When he celebrated at the end - you just knew he meant every inch of it. Legend.

I think the rest with his injury did him good. Looks like the real zab again.

Have you changed your mind that moving him on to Italy would be great for us or do you still want him to go?

Sanga has been a good deputy, played well, defended very well this season.

But the difference in quality between him and Zaba is huge. His movement, his tackling, his runs up the line, his speed of thought with the ball is all on a higher keel to Sagna.

I like Sagna but Zab demonstrated what we have been missing due to his injury. We had so many more options on his flank last night.
 
Hard as fucking nails. Absolutely love the bloke. As already mentioned him clattering in to two of them at the end was great
 
I love him almost as much as Spanish Dave. His lovely weird Manc accent too, the lovely bald harder than any fucker legend
 
Would playing Zabba at RB and moving Sagna to centre half in place or Demechelis work? - we would lack height but gain in other areas.
 
I think part of Silva's recent difficulties, have been the lack of willing runners off the ball finding space for him. Zabletta embodies hard work and effort combined with intelligent running. If the rest of the team had his spirit and intelligent play we would be many points clear at the top of the PL. I hope Zab retires at our club.
 
As well as Sagna has been playing, we just have a much better, more solid look with Zaba and Clichy as our fullbacks.
 
Sagna has done OK this season but you could see just how much we've missed Zaba, I thought he was excellent!
 
ridiculous, should not leave, see his career out at city, not enough players like this around. Good on the pitch and in the changing room.
