Transfer Rumour Wilifred Zaha - January Transfer Thread

[chrismpw]

Then he can wait for FIFA21 to come out next month and play as us. Closest he's going to get.

Yes but no. Closest to football is PES.

Zaha and the barge pole come to mind.

like someone has said, Palace appear desperate to sell him now and he's obviously desperate to go. Probably didn't want to cup tie him whether that was Woys call or Zaha's. I still think we'll go back in for him. Just because Moshiri doesn't like missing out on targets.

Moshiri should'nt be picking the targets though. Do we know if Carlo and Brands want him? there have been no links anywhere regarding this other than a bit of nonsense on Twitter, much better options out there at a much better cost and wage structure.

I’ve always remained sceptical of it happening but Moshiri does have form for things like that. Putting finances aside, for the sake of squad morale we probably need to be offloading fringe players before making new signings.

yeah we have far too many players who simply won't be playing now.

There have been previous stories in the media about Moshiri pushing for certain players but you’d have to hope now he’s letting Ancelotti and Brands get on with it.

don't disagree. Its just a gut feeling and i haven't seen any reliable links to him other than ex players suggesting he should be a target. I'm assuming Mosh wanted him last summer but it might have been Brands who pushed for him last summer.

I would swap half the squad for him. Take Bernard, Tosun, walcott, Bolasie and delph. Enough to keep Crystal Palace up which is what they want

Id rather Moshiri just stayed in the background tbh, he has shown his football decision making is not the best at times.

He’ll only be an Everton player if Carlo wants him not Moshiri. It’s Ancelloti calling the shots now, as it should be.

Yup. Big Sam and Silva spring to mind. To be fair to him he seems to be keeping a fairly low profile since Brands and Carlo have come in.

I doubt it was Brands tbh, Zaha is against the so called Brands model, he is older, very expensive and he is already on a £130k per wk at Palace so go knows what he would want here. Most of all though for the money involved with this sort of deal his end product/numbers are pretty poor overall tbh.

Carlo is top dog, the face of the club and that's the way it should be.

I'd rather see Kean getting more minutes if I'm honest, he plays wide for Italy so I think as part of a front 3 he needs games, the more big money players we sign the harder it gets for younger lads. We shouldn't be wasting this potential, he'll never make strides improving with 3 minutes here and there. Be a big mistake to lose Kean without a proper go at it in my opinion.

If reports about us being open to selling Kean are true I suspect there is something going on behind the scenes. Most likely he hasn’t settled in the U.K. and wants to go home to Italy.

In home games I could see him playing on the right with James in a more central role. Would expect the team against Spurs for most big games.

If it happens must be player plus a bit of cash from us

if not us, I can see Spurs getting him at a car boot price on deadline day

The government are about to buy Bale for spurs so don’t think they will be in for Zaha too.
