[Fulham Tup North]

Suprised if we could get close to his wages though. Filing under - almost certainly not happening.

... £10m would allow Fulham to pay him £50k pw... £2.5m pa... so for a 4 year contract, another £10m... £20m seems a good price for Zinchenko?..
Or am I dreaming?..

Haha - Yes sadly you are dreaming if ya think Zinchenko would play for Fulham for 50k per week. He's reportedly on somewhere between 120-150k pw at Arsenal

[Drewry66]

Yeah Zinchenko on his wages for a position we don't need? Doubt it unless Robinson was off as Jay has said but I doubt he's going anywhere.

[Tabby]

Zinchenko has mostly played as a CM lately and usually plays there for Ukraine.

The wages ought to be an issue though.

[bill taylors apprentice]

I like Zinchenko, he has ability and passion.
But he would need to take a big pay cut to make it happen.

[JimmyConway]

Where would Zinchenko fit in? Left back unlikely unless Robinson injured? We have Sessegnon is there much to choose between them if played at LB? Both can do a job but neither a natural defender. Sessegnon more of a threat if playing as attacking option? Seen Zinchenko play left midfield before but is he what we need? The 4-3-3 system don't see it? If we were 3-5-1-1 possibly? Unless it's cover for Robinson but would he come as struggles to get game time at Arsenal? Not sure you get him as a squad type player? He could stay where he is? Can we offer him guaranteed place? Unlikely I would have thought.

[FishaPrice]

My view is Zinchenko might be a good midfield option for us. Pep converted him to a LB at city, but before that wasn't he an attacking mid? He might be able to do a job for us in center mid or attacking mid.

[AJW48361]

Not a game changer.

[jayffc]

He's a very good player who's drifted away a bit at arsenal. The guys a cup and 4 times premier league title winner. Silva likes a player who can play in multiple positions so ya never know. i recall we were linked with him before he joined man city years ago.

As mentioned, filing under unlikely, could be at a champs league club for sure but may want to stay in London and ya never know maybe emile can put in a good word 😅

[RAY Rock]

If we want to win something you don't sign Arsenal players. 🤦�♂️

Never realised he played midfield for Ukraine and by all accounts very well. Looking on Transfrmarket looks like he played there in Holland before moving to England (obviously a very long time ago) and both Arsenal and City using him as a left back (although stepping into midfield of course).

Incredibly versatile as well and obviously a very good player. At £10m and the report suggesting he'd be happy to drop his salary to circa £60k a week seems like a bit of a no brainer if we could pull it off for those kind of figures. Played at an incredibly high level of course. If we got him for that and sold AP for more surely crazy business as got to be a massive upgrade. Seems highly unlikely but  fair play if we bought him primarily for central midfield.

A few on here seem to know a lot about what players we are interested earn a week.
Is there a special site on the Internet where you can look up what people earn.
I should think most clubs and players dont divulge what they earn a week,why would they.
Some of the sums stated by people on here,are outrageous,I shouldn't think some of them are on a third of what stated.
Well that's the way I look at it it.

Moyes having second thoughts about Tete,after reading his injury list.
According to Everton source.

Capology but most of the salaries on there are estimated from what has been reported I believe so in most cases no one is really 100% sure. Suggestion is we seem to run in the £50k a week to top end circa £100k a week for our players from what I've heard/seen. Top 6 clubs reportedly anything up to circa £300k a week I believe. Crazy money but that's the prem.

More important is the arsenal players help establish fulham even more in the PL to become a top 8 team ,more so when Marco walks he leaves us far stronger for the next coach.

Zinchenko would be good for us i think

The wages ought to be an issue though.

Yeah I don't see this happening, but if it were to happen, I agree we likely see him in one of the DM positions and providing cover for Jedi.

He'd want at minimum 100k/week I'd suggest, so he'd be starting

I would see him as more of Cairney replacement. He has a lovely left foot, reads the game well, not particularly physical but very technical player. I've never been keen on him as a left back but as an 8 he could be good.

Not sure we like players shooting from outside the box or scoring from set pieces.....

There are multiple sites that list estimates for player wages (sportac, capology,salary sport,aiscore etc). I usually look up those then dive a bit deeper with what news articles if any say. Not saying they are definite, but with so many additional media reports of player wages at top clubs over the years, they seem often to align somewhere in the realms with what one would expect imo. If you think its widely reported in the press when top players (haaland de bryune etc) have been on obscene deals at city/Chelsea etc of over 300 up to even 500k per week ...is it that hard to believe that players like zinchenko are getting 120-150?

When it comes to zinchenko he signed from man city as a multi title winning player,

I dont think therefore it's unexpected to think he'd be in that 120k pw range tbh.
