RuffRob Posted May 31, 2022 Report Share Posted May 31, 2022 https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/everton-fc-news/oleksandr-zinchenko-touted-everton-transfer-lampard-man-city/ Not sure how true this is and even if he would want to come to us, but I do like this lad - has played predominately left back for Man City - but his more than capable in the middle of the park as a defensive midfielder. Proven Premiership and European level, 25 great age. Scores goals, can pass, can defend. Everton probably being used to push his price up.

Goodison Glory Posted May 31, 2022 Report Share Posted May 31, 2022 Think he is on a 100k per week. Any "known" name is going to be difficult for us as clubs like Newcastle will just outbid us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm so confused He’s got the engine, touch and vision - you’ve got to if you’re going to play as many as he has in this City team. I see him as a central midfielder in a 343 - covering left back space when attacking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RuffRob Posted June 1, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2022 He would definatley improve us. Already living in the north west, then no settling period, I am guessing would pretty seamlessly link up with Mykolenko. So helpful to both player. We would actually be a good move for him.

barryj Posted June 2, 2022 Report Share Posted June 2, 2022 Unbelievably good yesterday against Scotland. Watching him in midfield to me makes me feel he isn’t being used properly as a LB. I can’t believe we’d be able to afford him but if we can it’s a no brainier. His quick feet yesterday completely surprised me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't see the game yesterday but going by the posts in here he'd be a decent signing for our midfield. This to be honest, I've always been amazed that he's managed to last so long at Manchester City because he's always looked absolutely shite at left-back, although I know that Ukraine play him in the midfield and he always seems to get brought up when his country plays - so perhaps not the worst deal of all time if the idea is to stick him in the middle of the park. Without going properly out there and getting ahead of myself, maybe not a bad option if he can form a partnership with Mykolenko and slot into left-back when Myko bursts forward, yet stick in the middle when we haven't got the ball.

If we get him on that I say "hell yes" Wouldn’t be surprised, city only plaid £1.5 million for him. I think he’s a really good player, versatile as well. As mentioned he could cover Myko when he bombs on as is decent enough as back up for left back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey Posted June 3, 2022 Report Share Posted June 3, 2022 Zinchenko is decent LB cover in a team like City's but he would really struggle trying to play like we do. I also think he is very lightweight to be a holding midfielder in the Premier League so you would looking at him in a more advanced role. I don't mind him as a player, technically he is excellent, but Im not sure how he fits into this side at this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shukes Posted June 3, 2022 Report Share Posted June 3, 2022 If anyone has watched City much this season (I have to ) you would not be expecting this to be a reality. Excellent player whenever he is on the pitch and hugely versatile. Shocked that City are even considering letting him go? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevO Posted June 4, 2022 Report Share Posted June 4, 2022 If we’re playing a 433 then the left side of the midfield three would be ideal. As others have said, can cover the left side, like Barry used to do when Baines went forward. Btay 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fosse Captain Posted June 5, 2022 Report Share Posted June 5, 2022 Been watching him in these last 2 international games as didn’t know he was a midfielder (poor on my part I know) Looks very decent in there to be fair. Also gives us ‘cover’ for injuries too etc at LB All about the price tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Posted June 5, 2022 Report Share Posted June 5, 2022 Best player on the pitch today. I'd take him, but as its been quoted the price would be a stumbling block for us. Perhaps setting our targets too high. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duncanmckenzieismagic Posted June 5, 2022 Report Share Posted June 5, 2022 I’d take him in a heartbeat, if he is surplus’s to requirements at City the price surely wouldn’t be that high Given the financial constraints we are under getting in a lad like this who is versatile enough to cover a few positions makes it a no brainier Fosse Captain 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hafnia Posted June 5, 2022 Report Share Posted June 5, 2022 Like Tarkowski he’s a no brainer. Knows the league, rock solid dependable. We have Delph, Gomes, Davies, who are going or need to go. be interesting to see what price, no doubt mykolenko will be a huge factor for him.

dunlopp9987 Posted June 6, 2022 Report Share Posted June 6, 2022 Arsenal and Wet Spam apparently looking into him as well. Agree with @Hafniathough that Myko could be a big draw for him, plus he would recognize that he has a much better chance to be a key player here than other clubs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patto Posted June 7, 2022 Report Share Posted June 7, 2022 Zinchenko is decent but I wouldn’t want to spend big money on him he’s to left footed gets caught in possession quite often. he may have looked good agains Scotland and Wales but to be fair they aren’t very good teams.

plaidharper Posted June 7, 2022 Report Share Posted June 7, 2022 West Ham released Yarmolenko. At 32, doubt he will remain in England. Zinchenko is a player but we would really have to sell the project to him. Don't think we can spend big on him as CB and DM are the priority. He could maybe play DM but for Ukraine he seems to play more of a box to box role. Guess it depends on how Frank wants to play. Feel like we could see something completely different at the start of the season. Will just have to wait and see. Trying to make the game in Baltimore and it will be interesting to see how he lines up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
