They've been calling for his head for about 5 years like. Until they win a trophy. Then they shut up again.

Mahrez would be very difficult but Zaha is obtainable he's essentially another Siggurdsson in that he's one of the best players outside the top 6 but isnt good enough for his price tag to get a move to one of those clubs.
Think us is the best that it'll get for him. Mind you I think for the money we would have to pay we should be targeting players from Germany/Italy/Spain. Just not lightweight blokes like Sandro.

Net spend in last 3 Transfer windows including this one is approaching £80m. Roughly £27m Jan 17, £47 Summer 17, £2m Jan 18.
The cash flow position is more complex as fees are often spread out so we are paying and receiving on past deals. We factored a £13.5m outstanding Stones fees receiving abut £12.5m of it net and thus also impacts the cash position. We do not have published accounts for all this period but the cash flow impact is at least £50m out flow, probably more.
There is a margin of error on this as reported fees are often inaccurate as they tend not to include on-costs such as PL/FA levy, agent fees, loyalty bonuses which push up player acquisition costs. The total number committed on transfers may be easily £20m higher factoring all this in and most of these payments are due immediately so this would increase the cash outflow. Football accounts are notoriously opaque with agent fees often in other operating costs for example.
The annual increase in tv money is c. £45m assuming mid table PL finish and average tv coverage. Nearly half of this has been absorbed by increased player/staff wages as shown in the recent accounts. Other operating costs have also risen significantly. At best TV revenue growth has covered a third of our net transfer spend
Moshiri’s loan increasing from £80m to pay off the debt we had on his arrival to £150m has paid for the majority of the net spend plus investments in Goodison and acquisition of BMD site.
I’ve set this out before and the accounts are publicly available. We have not necessarily spent well but it is rubbish to suggest, and keep suggesting even in the face of clear and detailed explanation, that the transfers we have made no matter how unwisely have been or could have been funded only by increased tv revenue. This falsehood needs to be put to bed once and for all.
It is more accurate to suggest that the increased wage bill that comes from a bigger squad with more expensively acquired players is made possible by the increased tv revenue. Our commercial revenue, whilst improved, remains miles behind even the worst of the ‘big finance’ 6.

Oh god. We are in for him aren't we?
Not a chance either of them are coming here to scrap it out for 10th place.
Just let that sink in Everyone.No! me neither.
Zaha isn't obtainable. He isn't leaving this window, and Palace won't sell when they need him to stay up.
Also, Spurs want him.

Zaha would be the more difficult to sign out of them two, would be easily 40mil+, not to mention spurs are after him so we'd stand no chance

Well if we cant attract Zaha we may aswell call it a day.
Man City and Chelsea dont need him
Utd he flopped
RS wont go for him
Arsenal wont spend £40 mil + on him
Spurs don't spend big money and Poch tends to go abroad rather than overpriced PL signings.
If Zaha leaves Palace its to either us, West Ham or Leicester.
Lets not forget despite our gashness we still spend more than the teams below us /offer bigger wages. Our fanbase have let this season drag them down into small time expectation.

I can't really believe that is true Europe brings extra revenue also our squad was large enough to cope with Europe this season.

But the question remains,are they available and if so will they come to a club that's potentially a couple of bad results away from a relegation fight.
