Fills a few different positions which is handy, but I don't think he's a game changer for us really. I'd like a new record signing to come in a step above what we have. I think he’s an upgrade on JJ and Mcginn, always difficult to judge based on city stats but his stats are very good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Steve Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 £35m is a good return for a starting/rotating midfielder. We'd probably pay £50-60m for Gallagher - which I'd totally be in favour of also. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A CM who covers the fullback. So why not get someone who can play FB and CM. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted June 20, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted June 20, 2022 I don't think Zinchenko would be worth whatever Man City want for him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 Is there actually a link to Zinchenko, seen chat about him for days. As others have mentioned, he would actually tick multiple boxes for multiple positions, so a fee of 20 - 30 mill could actually be great business.

useless Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 Not sure where people are getting this idea that Zinchenko is an amazing midfieler, he's hardly played there for Man City, if he was that good in that position would City be letting him go to bring in Phillips, a player who has received a lot of criticisim on here lately. He might be okay, but not sure if much of an upgrade on McGinn and doubtful he gets in our midfield ahead of Jacob Ramsey, if you said to City you can have either Ramsey or Zinchenko for your midfield, can almost guarantee they'd choose Ramsey. Not sure how much sense it would make to have him as back-up to Digne either, we let Targett go because it made sense to bring in a younger back-up left-back that will still be relatively young when it becomes time to replace Digne, rather someone like Targett or Zinchenko who would be around thirty by the time it's time to replace Digne. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m judging him largely on the game he had for Ukraine against Scotland and I think on that basis he was excellent. But that was one game, I’m sure there are better informed posters who’ve seen more of him. I’m also sure the club will have taken more than a cursory glance at him if they’re interested.

Vive_La_Villa Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 He looked a good midfielder for Ukraine but it’s a small sample size. I think he’s just a very good footballer so could probably play there and do it well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He plays midfield for Ukraine. City play that high, that their full backs are practically midfielders. It’s more his versatility that he would benefit our team. He can play midfield, and if Digne is injured/suspended he can play left-back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’d be an interesting signing, he’d be worth a punt if the price is right but the problem is despite what people are saying we don’t actually know how good he is in midfield - he simply hasn’t played there for Man City in any tangible capacity for anyone to judge positively or negatively. Yes we all know he’s played there for Ukraine but international football is quite obviously a poor guide to assessing PL quality otherwise the PL would look very different to how it actually does 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 He's playing games for Man City in the Champions League as a left-back, just because he's very good in that position, and looks decent for Ukraine in midfield against weaker oppostion, it doesn't mean to say we should sign him as a midfielder. I think there's an element of people overrating him, as a midfielder, just because he plays for Man City. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 He'd be the best left winger at the club Who can also play CM and LB The right team and manager would have a cracking player on their hands, even better than what city get out of him Not 100% convinced he'd be a great fit for us but I'd at least like to try 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well to put it in perspective he looked better than Grealish did for them in an attacking sense. Imagine how he could look for us.
