Seem man city won't mind if he asked to leave. I think he'll wait first if they told him they'll buy LB if they won't i don't think he'd leave.

 

[Jasard]

Yeah this will be a slow burner I imagine while City figure the LB position out

 

[Sebastes]

Only makes sense as LB imo and can’t see why he’d leave City to compete for LB at Assna

 

[Sammy1887]

City will definitely sign a LB considering Mendy is gone. But why would Zinchenko downgrade from the champions to the bottlers?

 

[bingobob]

Definitely, Zinchenko and Tielemans is immediate rotation for Xhaka and Ødegaard. I'd be greedy and throw in Auoar as well, although he would probably put an end to Smith Rowe moving into midfield.

Do Zinchenko, Tielemans and Bissouma and we are looking good IMO. Add Auoar to that, and we are serious about getting back to our best.

Xhaka and Elneny out - Zinchenko, Tielemans and Bissouma in is some upgrade. Jesus and DCL and we are sucking diesel.

I got to say this is the first summer where I’m not complaining at all about the names being seriously linked. Very encouraging stuff.

 

[El Duderino]

@Heskey your evil twin sibling is at it again

 

[Garrincha]

Any reports of what the fee would be?

Seems the perfect player to add... Worst case we have a very good starting left back & best case he can hack the PL midfield week in week out.

Not sure theres a downside or any risk on this one.

Nothing in that regard yet but with 2 years left i guess will be higher than 20M or even be more seeing how city being difficult to sell G.Jesus for cheap

 

[Barry]

Good player but the fee is surely going to be a barrier even if we are interested. You'd be talking Cucurella money, £40m+

 

[TornadoTed]

I know he is a more mature and better player now but Wolves had a £19m fee agreed in 2018 but Zinchenko rejected the move and chose to stay at City.

Maybe £30m gets it done now with his contract length?

 

[Barry]

Could he be an option instead of Tielemans do we think? Can play as a left sided 8, two footed etc. He actually profiles pretty similarly. Tielemans has the versatility to cover as a number 10 and Zinchenko as LB

 

[Macho]

City's bench and Arsenal's bench isn't the same guys.

The Eddie and Elneny extensions were clues but guys still think we're bringing Zincenko and Saliba to sit here and be cover. Albakos needs to amp up the volume of that Europa league music on the forum.

If he's coming here to start in midfield then that's a different convo admittedly.

 

[Jasard]

Tierney has no right be considered first choice at this point. Like him a lot on his day but he's injured over 50% of the time and Nuno kept him out of the team for a while. Any left back should be signed with the expectation that they play the majority of games imo.

 

[Malky]

Why are people saying he'd be coming here as back-up LB? One look at Tierneys injury record and Zinchenko would fancy his chances of taking the starting spot for himself.
Plus he'd get more chances in midfield here too.

 

[Rex Stone]

Good thing is you can play him in midfield and when Kieran “nature valley bar” Tierney is out for 15 games a year he can slot in there.

I’d be buzzing with him, Tielemans and Jesus.

 

[berric]

He's guaranteed 30+ games here.

 

[El Duderino]

With Eddie renewed I'd wager there's money for it.

Hell, I'd even go as far as to say daddy Kroenke has left town on a business trip and young Mik is about to have a house party regardless. He is going to raid that war chest licour cabinet something fierce.
