Really?

Nothings official yet but seems that way.

Sad day for all Blues. No one can ever doubt his commitment to the cause!

He needs to come back someday and work for the club,

if/when he goes it will be almost as heartbreaking as SWP's departure. A proper warrior and legend.

3mil? You'd think we could at least get a bag of balls as well

Gutted to see him leave

Hate this but it was coming.
He will be sorely missed.

Better this way rather than watch him decline.

Heart says it's a bad day and we are all sad. A superb ambassador for our club.

Head says it is time and wish him all the very best at his new club

I miss him.

I'll be genuinely heartbroken when/if Zaba leaves, and I haven't been upset when a player left since maybe Tiatto. SWP I was gutted he was leaving us but thought he was moving on to win things.

But Zaba...I wanted him to retire with us. He literally bled for us.

Zabba is the only player to whom I feel a genuine attachment. Sorry to see him go but these things are inevitable. I wish him well for the future wherever it lies.

He can't go, he just can't!

I agree with this. That said he's an absolute legend and should have a job waiting for him at City the day he retires, should he want to move back to Manchester.

Another strand is cut in my attachment to the club, one of very few players who it felt was one of us. I find it hard to maintain commitment when so few players have a link to the fans.
I love my club (not the corporate brand) and hope that more players that make me feel attached will with come through the Academy in years to come as I see few coming through the current transfer policies/decisions and hope Pep will move more decisions in the direction of the Academy.
It may be a few years before we see a player with the commitment and passion of Zaba but the time had come for him to move on with our thanks

This one will hurt. Really don't want him to leave. I know he's not the player he once was, but surely he's still useful and must be brilliant to have at training. Hope all deals for him fall through personally and he retires with us.

Fuck me, if this is not love, I have no idea what actually is.

Really gutted as he one of the remaining players that actually give a fuck about their own and the teams performance, put all he had into the game and that's why even when he's off form 99% of the fans would cut him slack.

He's been linked to at least three Italian clubs quite recently so I think there's something to him leaving us, which will be a sad day indeed if confirmed.

Would rather have him moving to def mid and fuck Fernando off.
