For 15m he's a decent punt - English - London based (Fulham academy) - over 100 games in the Championship - sure he might be a bust, but when you consider we paid 72m for Pepe it looks like a decent buy.

Sort of signings we used to make, Walcott, Ramsey etc.

Im not gonna diss him because he went to Spurs. I only saw him 1 game and it was the game VS us. I thought he was absolutely brilliant.

If he can do that on a consistent basis then shitty Spuds got one hell of a signing.
Wembley:
Community Shield @6-8-'23 = 1*-1 Manchester City

Emirates Stadium:
First game @10-9-'11 = 1 - 0 Swansea
Most memorable game @24-2-'22 = 2 - 1 Wolves
Last game @14-04-'24 = 0 - 2 Aston Villa
Next game @4-05-'24 = VS Bournemouth [ No ticket yet ]

Haha djed Spence for for 15 million is worth a punt but zinchenko for 25 isn't good enough, a guy who has played championship football on loan and had a handful of decent games as oppose to a player who gets minutes for the best club in the world, has won the epl 4 times and has played CL football, is that seriously your argument?

Exactly right Billie - there is no likely upside to Zinchenko, there is a massive potential upside to Spence. A top attacking fullback is worth upwards of 80m, back up defenders who never cross the halfway line, they are are worth 25m.

I have no issue with signing Zinchenko for 25m, great back-up who can cover several positions, what will worry me is if Arteta sees him as a starter. If he becomes a starting fullback that's an XG of ZERO goals from one side of the pitch ... will you be happy with that?

The fact you have to big up his trophies playing for the richest team ever instead of his actual personal qualities is telling

Decent squad player Zinchenko is but never impressed at city thus they are happy to get rid

why don't you listen to Kyle Walker then?

Kyle Walker on 3 most technically gifted players at Manchester City: "Not in any order, my top three are Zinchenko, Mahrez and [Bernardo] Silva. Zinchenko is incredible, incredible. Two touches, head tennis, he's incredible. So good, so, so good."

First name that comes out his mouth. And puts him above KDB.

Most Arsenal players put Pepe as the most skilful. Kolasinac was the strongest.

Means nothing when it comes to the overall impact of a player on the pitch.

Zinchenko isn’t fit to lace KDBs boots tbh.

I like the guy but he is nowhere near the technical ability of KDB when it comes to game situations
