Summer Transfer Window 2019

[whiteshadow]

Quite. If he was priced at £40m he would be at City.

I dont have a downer on the player, I have a downer on the price. For someone arguably we dont really need. Not £60m worth of "Need"

Adds a lot more goals and assists than Bernard, can play all along the front line. Gives us real pace down both wings and real depth and versatility to our lineups if Kean or Richy get injured etc.

I'd say it's worth the money, imo.

Yes, it is a lot but I think we'll win a lot more games with both him and Richy down each wing.

We need a winger / wide forward, if we can also get one who is one of the best in his position in the league and a genuine match winner. That's what can take us to the next level.

Need a CB and RB first.....and a back-up to Kean......can see your point though.

 

[ForeverBlue92]

Unless we are linked with a winger before deadline day its 100% still Zaha.

Whether a deal gets done is another thing but im convinced he'll sign.

Is he though? Really?

Maybe I am scarred from lobbing money at Palace for Bolasie, but I honestly just dont see the value.

 

[Stutheblue]

CB & RB before window closes are essential I'd say. Anything else is an absolute bonus.

Zaha is way better than Bolasie. I wouldn't worry on that front.

Pretty sure Zaha can play through the middle if required if hes our wide man

I don't recall Zaha being as heavy on the stepovers. He's got proper speed and strength to fight defenders with, and good vision.

We don't need him but if we want to make waves on top 6 with Arsenal and United looking pretty weak and for the taking then it's makes sense, He's Premiership tested can slot straight in and knows the game inside out and instantly upgrades our attack to the next level.
The price isn't a pretty sight but that's the game when you buy off other Premiership teams.

Mate look at that graphic someone posted of Palace's wins, draws and losses with and without Zaha.

Bolasie was only ever a speed merchant and that was always clear as day, Zaha has genuine technical quality.

Exactly. And it's why he's been one of the few EPL players approached.

Value is such a weird thing to think of in this market, I think we got value for Gomes but apart from that its nuts.

Zaha is a good player mind, he'd be excellent in our team.

Fully agree mate in terms of gaps in the squad they are higher priorities but say Palace told us a price we were willing to pay I think we'd be utter fools to not go for it.

He is breathtaking at counter attacks and going past players .. just visualise Zaha Kean and Richarlison running at ANY defence

Thats fair. Maybe I am just hung up on the lad. Happy to be proved very wrong if he pitches up.
