NewquayFox Posted 6 January 2021 Share Posted 6 January 2021 Not sure if he would command a place in our first team (how times have changed) this is a Wolves type of signing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lineker's Left Foot Posted 6 January 2021 Share Posted 6 January 2021 Always thought from a distance when he is playing he looks a dead ringer for Kevin De Bruyne but that is unfortunately where the comparisons end. I rate him though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clever Fox Posted 6 January 2021 Share Posted 6 January 2021 I don't know him so can't comment. But it would look like a strange signing given that we're well covered in those areas and have real needs Elsewhere, like a Striker , Winger or Good midfielder. I think this could be a smokescreen to drive his price up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't say I've ever been particularly wowed by him but he seems a tidy player and a versatile one at that which is handy, especially if we're to continue competing on multiple fronts. He wouldn’t be my first Ukrainian 👀 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pep moulded him into a LB but he signed for them as a #10 and plays for Ukraine as a #8 or #6 depending on the formation they go with. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfox Posted 6 January 2021 Share Posted 6 January 2021 Whenever I’ve seen him he’s looked decent - was standout at the KP in league cup QF a while back Would have been a lot more excited if we were linked in the summer… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was very very crap as a left back too. I don't think Zinchenko was switched because he wasn't good enough (although he would have been competing with the likes of David Silva for a spot in midfield so in a sense, he wasnt) but rather that all of their traditional LB's are made of Trifle and he needed cover. Worth noting though, Pep plays with inverted WB's so instead of bombing down the wings, they play more as CMs so the switch would have played to his strengths. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The People's Hero Posted 6 January 2021 Share Posted 6 January 2021 We've been here before; and possibly even been offered him before if memory serves. I suspect someone knows this and is rehashing that and coming to assumptions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AjcW Posted 6 January 2021 Share Posted 6 January 2021 He was actually signed by Manchester City as an Attacking Right Midfielder who can cut in onto his left. I mean he hasn't played there for a while, but he really is a serious utility player. He'd ensure that we don't get ourselves in any injury messes for the rest of the season because he can cover about four positions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes; I agree that. I was about to say I didn't think we'd be matching wages to Man City players; but then I remembered Nacho! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North Leeds Fox Posted 6 January 2021 Share Posted 6 January 2021 Personally would be happy with this one. He can play in a number of positions and is technically very good which I am sure would suit rodgers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
