To be fair the link to Zinchenko implied he had been offered to Everton, not much regarding us expressing an interest.
True it seemed like city belled the two most gullible clubs they could think of to gauge interest. And I'm not even THAT against it compared to some of our previous targets but its a fella who has barely played in his "best" position where we would be playing him for 4 years.
The rest of the list though, we have Ajer who was availible last season and barely stood out for Brentford given what he'd cost now and that Sergio Gomez who we watched extensively in January and then signed
Mykolenko over, he was also availible last summer as well.
Feels like the horse has bolted for both of them when we were skint last summer and missed out, should really be trying to find new targets that wouldn't now cost a premium.
Thelwell said in an interview he was most proud of signing Dendonker at Wolves because he could cover multiple positions and all 3 of the above do that so they could be legit links.
