The trouble with Internet forums is, it becomes a toxic environment where some people forget how to talk to people in an appropriate manner

Below is the last paragraph of my post?

I can't identify if i am replying to a snowflake.

Zaha can take any defender on, runs at them and through them, Moura just runs down dead ends, and more rabbit holes than Bugs fucking Bunny.

I mean, I don’t think it’s a strategy so much as the individuals aren’t good enough to play for our first team. Have any of the youngsters who’ve left really made us regret it? KWP probably the best of the bunch and I don’t think he’s anything more than a solid Premier league player and we got money for his sale. Madueke barely plays for PSV anymore.

Zabarnyi has 22 senior caps at age 19 for a good national team and has played UCL and knockout stages in a big international tournament. He’s well ahead of Tanganga and 4 years younger.
Tanganga has some PL experience though. Where are the games for Zabarnyi going to come from for him to gain experience? Even Spence is not ready for PL football yet according to Conte and he's had some preseason with us. So Zabaryni might spend most of his time getting up to speed, he might not even make an appearance this season.
 


If I was part of the Forest management I would be asking: why are Atleti letting one LB, Lodi, leave just to have him replaced by a cheaper EPL-proven LB ? :cool:

Your probably right. I was just expressing the view that the general perception.seems to be young British players are not given a chance. I wounder what would have happened if harry was just starting out? Conte probably wouldn’t have given him the gane time and gone for a foreign import. Possible?
He wasn't really given the chance when he was starting out, injuries to higher profile players and he snatched the opportunity.
 
Paratici may well have identified Zabarnyi as a CB with a high ceiling, a potential Gvardiol or Fofana, who would cost 3 times as much next summer. So buying him now for the rumoured 20m Euros would be betting on him becoming a top player in time. The same bet Paratici has made on Gil, Sarr & Destiny Udogie.

But as others have said, barring an injury crisis, Zabarnyi would be unlikely to play much this season.

There's also the balance of the CBs likely to be in our final squads. Assuming Japhet leaves, Davinson covers Romero at RCB, Lenglet & Davies will compete at LCB, but with Rodon gone, we have no obvious cover for Dier.

Zabarnyi can play at LCB. Does Conte think either Lenglet or Zabarnyi could also play at CCB as & when Dier isn't available?
