Seems like we should have just got a Man City meal deal

Main - Jesus
Side - Zinny
Drink - One of their yoots

Wrap it all up for 60M rather than buy the items individually.

As CM is he better than Tielemans or Neves?

 

[Macho]

@OnlyOne and I been on fire this summer. Think the ITK Tier list needs to be revisited.

[benjamin86]

Better than Tavares obviously, but ~70m for bench players like Zinny & Vieira is crazy

Lack of quality off the bench cost us last season and now with 5 subs, I think it's going to be even more important to have a quality bench and we've got the extra games of the Europa too.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

As CM is he better than Tielemans or Neves?

Don't think so because he rarely played CM with City it was mostly LB. We'll still Tielemans or someone else

Nah.

If Zinny has not been signed to primarily play LB, then Arsenal have f*cked up.

 

[yorch44]

I am divided, my rational brain tells me this is probably our last signing of the summer. But my stupid heart is still hoping Paqueta comes to Arsenal even when I know is very unrealistic we spend 50M on midfield... Arteta only spends that much on CBs we don't need.

@A__G could you find my first post on Zinny from this summer please?

He's far more mobile with better stamina, workrate and ball carrying. Gets box to box, dribbling, playing 1-2s really well while being able to get back to make last ditch tackles/blocks. His range of passing looks pretty impressive too.

 

[ArsenesCoatMaker]

Nah.

Many City fans say he isn't a fullback. Say he's a midfielder.

You know, I know and Arteta definitely knows that Xhaka between the lines is an option, but not the solution for a team who is aiming to get back to elite levels.

Paqueta is quick, effective between the lines, has close control, can dribble, hard working and versatile. If anything, Zinny's signing suggests we want our #8s right up there because there is cover behind.

 

[Sebastes]

You know what would be very underwhelming? If we only get Zin to play LCM and LB when Tierney is off and then Xhaka is the LCM. That would be the flattest and most boring football we could see.

Think there’s definitely a risk this is the case

 

[Heavy Duty Rom]

This would be a massive signing. Don’t think there is anything between him and De Jong who is going for 80m. The more I watch him, the more he reminds me of Modric.

@A__G could you find my first post on Zinny from this summer please?

Think we need to add a bit more experience, not really in age but genuinely big games played and being amongst an elite squad. Think two really smart pickups for cheap is Jesus who would need a little convincing (£) and Zincheko, both contracts expire soon.

Scamacca (CF)
Jesus (F9/WF)
Zinchenko (LB)
Aouar
Neves or Luiz

Not arsed about RB, think Cedric hasn't rang any alarm bells and don't think we need a CB unless Holding wants to leave.

People will ***** and moan about games played but guys like Nelli, Saka, Xhaka, ESR, need to be rotated especially as we'll be back in Europa. I think all players listed bring some decent experience all while being young enough to improve further and can mix and match positionally.

I'll be gutted if we don't sign all of them tbh.

It won’t be. Given we had money for Raphinha and Martinez, we’ll make one more.

They'll most likely sign another wide forward. Probably best not to get your hopes up about a midfielder unless Tielemans is a bargain deadline day swoop.
