anyway we'll get him back aged 32 and for the cut price of £50m...
Fine! But only if we can pay him a quarter of a million a week, otherwise he’s dead to me! Whoever he is.
What do we think the plan is for Zinchenko then? First choice LB who can ‘invert’ into CM (same as Martinez) or a left 6/8 who can drop to cover LB (pretty much Martinez in reverse / Xhaka upgrade)?
And what does that mean for our interest in Tielemans? Is that maybe why we’re looking at Paqueta, who’s more of an advanced option and covers more roles across the attack?
Not sure how the pieces fit yet, but I like the pieces.
I read somewhere thant Zinchenko wants to play in midfield which is where he plays for country and may be seeking guarantees that we play him there and is likely why he is jumping ship from Etihad. Problem is, he will likely see a lot of action at LB given the fragility of our first choice Scotsman in that position. Either way. He would be a great addition to the squad. A pairing of him and Tierney on that wing is quite an enticing prospect. With Saka slightly ahead of both.
Memories of Cole and Pires together there makes my eyes well up with sadness

Plus we have a CF who can run both channels now in Jesus - Henry drifting to the left was a big part of that Pires + Cole dynamic, do that’s another box ticked.
I’m tempted to say Zinchenko is my highest priority signing at this point? He’d just unlock so many options down that side, and we so desperately need to get that side functioning. It’s all so easy for teams to ignore it at the moment and double-up on our right - everyone across the attack will benefit from getting this fixed.
Martinelli would certainly benefit from having more of an inverted LB option behind him - that allows him to be more of wide forward with less backtracking - and as a midfielder he offers so much more physical and tactical agility than Xhaka. Better combination player and playmaker in tight spaces in the final third, and better at dropping to cover LB.
Zinchenko fee agreed

I think he'll start in the left 8 position ahead of Xhaka and offer a bit of cover to Tierney when the inevitable injury happens.
Does this move mean Tielemans deal is dead? Or perhaps that will be reliant on Xhaka reading the room and moving on.
That’s very reasonable.
