Ornstein reckons we are in for Zinchenko.
He's definitely signing. No doubt.

What was previously a message that contained no profanity and made a comment on a real life event has now been manipulated by a deliberately provocative title. An old and crude propaganda and censorship technique.
Loaning out young players is a good thing.
Loaning out Saliba was a good thing. That's pretty obvious.

I am happy with this. I really like him as a player. Very tidy, great passer, tactically quite sound for a player who is a Midfielder but regularly plays at full back.
He is a player that brings quality to both the Full back position and Central Midfield IMO, I am all for this transfer.
I'm not particularly bothered by Martinez snubbing us which was obvious the minute United got involved. He sounds like he is a very good player, but.....he has played mainly as a LCB so spending upwards of 50mill on a LCB to play at LB seemed a bit strange to me. Zinchenko pursuit seems more logical as he can cover left back and central midfield.Looks like Martinez is joining United.
Balogun likely to be loaned out.
Tbh I kind of just assumed we were going for Martinez because Zinchenko was off the table - if both players are available then of course you go for Zinchenko! He’s already playing the role we need, he’s PL-ready and he’s worked with the coach before - tick, tick, tick.
Guess we must have thought Martinez would be the cheaper, easier deal to get done, otherwise I don’t understand why we’d make that move first? Maybe the Raphinha move collapsing suddenly freed up more funds for other moves?
Zinchenko would be a slam dunk of a signing.
As good as he is, Tierney is not reliable because of his fitness issues. We need a proper alternative there and Zinchenko would be quite a seamless addition to the squad.

Yeah I've really warmed to Zinchenko over last couple of years, he's technically superb and seems to have grown in confidence. I'd take him over the Ajax guy because he knows the league and the manager.
all of the above - Zinchenko would be a great signing
