Transfer Rumour Zaha with poll

80 mil ffs, walk away

No, lets just do it.

i'd still have him for the ridiculous price they are saying he is the best proven winger we can buy. Our fans will be bouncing round,the players will be buzzing there will be so much momentum before we even kick a ball a fast start and this year could be special.

This is going to get done. Marcel has the issue now where if we walk away from the deal and look to go elsewhere, other clubs know we have £70+ million to spend and are going to do exactly the same as Palace. Zara or nothing for me...

I could never spend 70m+ in Zara

I agree. Look at Leicester with McGuire. Clubs will ask for what you have to spend.

Don't care how much we pay for Zaha - he could have the same effect on us as VVD - we should just pay them what they want.

?? Vvd was arguably in the top3 cbs in the world when they signed him, zahas nowhere close to the top 20 wingers on the planet

You have to look at Zaha's £80 million price tag from the perspective of his value to Palace, rather than what he's worth as a footballer. He's irreplaceable for them and they are much more likely to be fighting relegation without him. If they do get relegated it will cost them a lot more than that.

A lot of us were saying the same thing about Sigurdsson when we spent £45 million on him, but it was his value to Swansea that pushed the price up, and they still ended up getting relegated anyway.

I think it's looking more likely to happen than not, and I also think Zaha will be even more effective for us than he's been for Palace. When he plays for Palace, teams double up on him because they know he's the main threat, but if he played for us they wouldn't be able to do that because, with Kean and Richarlison alongside him, we'd have some forward line. Mouthwatering stuff!

Was on board with this at 60/70 million but 80 million is just so much money. Obviously if he comes and does amazingly well then it wont matter but wow that is a lot of money (if we do it)

Jesus

Sounds like you need a break from work.

Who doesnt?

 

[malmic]

Waste of money if we spend 80 million, it ruins our transfer window especially if we then finish up without a 1st class CB

i still think it is about team chemistry though.
If he fits perfectly with Kean/Richarlison/Sigurdsson and Bernards skillset, then he is elevated in stature.

Look at that Salah at the pit. Poor for Chelsea and not exactly a world beater for Egypt.
But his current club setup allows him more space to do damage.

Zaha is doubled up on at Palace. He wouldn't be here as that frees up the others already mentioned.

In what world is Dybala joining Everton when he’s swerved United? Hahahaha

But we are NOW a better team than United.

The bits of crap in my arse hair are more in the know than Jim White.

Who doesnt?

Then you can create a better meter

Why would it be a waste of money. He is quality and will create lots of chances for rich,kean and the sig. But let's keep playing Walcott and calvin

 

[The Penalty Box Dancer]

Are we preparing a new offer?

David Craig on Sky (not to be confused with Craig David) saying Zaha is training but feels disillusioned about being priced out of a move away
