Summer Transfer Shit and Everything Else

[HCZ_Reborn]

Zinchenko isn't in any way shape or form a defender so his presence is neither here or there in terms of our cover in that position, other than, even if he was played further upfield, we'd need additional cover to account for how many times he gives the ball away and puts us under pressure

as for attackers, do you not pay attention, we've been pursuing various targets including Sesko, Goyoures (or however you spell his name) etc etc

have patience my dear

ITK twitter accounts and gossip columns at the back end of newspapers is not confirmation of anything. Plus Gyokeres is an ex championship striker who sporting Lisbon are trying to get 84 million for off the back of one season in the Portuguese league so they can fuck right off with that.


Zinchenko is a defender whether you choose to acknowledge it or not. I barely acknowledge your sentience but Occam’s razor tells me that it’s more likely that you’re an actual person rather than a mundane hallucination

Zin's extremely modest talents lie in midfield, where's he's essentially a workhorse who can cause the occasional problem for the opposition while unfortunately doing the same for his own team

Defenders know how to defend, he does not

If you’d prefaced that comment with in my opinion. It might have carried more weight but essentially you’re saying you know better as a matter of objective fact than any coach who has played him at left back. I don’t think he’s especially good at left back, I think he’s too casual on the ball, I think he gets too far forward for someone with no real pace and I think he gets done for pace too easily and lacks positional discipline. But there are plenty of players who are defenders who aren’t especially good at it…we’ve had numerous amounts of them at Arsenal over the past 25 years.

Any Italian defender with hair like that must be good right?

If we had sense we'd hurry up and spend that Smith-Rowe money on Yousouf Fofana as he's about joining the Hammers for pretty much the same.

I don’t know…I kind of think how many Italian defenders have done really well outside of Italy. There’s always a first, Cannavaro was well established by the time he joined Capello at Real Madrid (33 as well)

[KSE Comedy Club]

We’ve officially signed the Italian (don’t get why this was a priority)

I think it was that other clubs (including two other prem clubs) were in for him but his preferred choice was us.
He had a good showing at the Euro's too so his value would only increase going forward.

Except Zinchenko can't defend for toffee - as evidenced by the numerous defensive fuck ups he has made for us.

The most recent one being the goal that the pundits blamed Martinelli for, for not tracking back - yet Zinchenko (the actual LB) was wandering around near midfield on the other side of the pitch.

you really don't have any sense of humour do you?

Correct
