Transfer Rumour Wilifred Zaha - January Transfer Thread

[Arteta10]

Apparently spurs don’t have enough money for operating costs but do have enough money for transfers etc. Hence why the government gave them a £200m “loan”

Ah ok I see what youre saying

 

[Tin-Tin]

Baffles me when Palace fans say Eze/Benrahma are not Zaha replacements.

Fair enough one of them you could say, but 2 players whose strongest position and the position they have played the most is on the left wing. Zaha can play further up though behind the striker.

 

[Tin-Tin]

Spurs have Moura, Son, Bergjwin and now Bale, they wont sign another winger.

Arsenal are after 2 CM's with any money they bring in.

He's not got many top options.

What rumours mate? The only place linking us to Zaha is this thread.

There’s still a few knocking about plus we placed a bid last summer so there’s interest from us.

 

[jazzy]

The government?

I think the reference is to Spurs furloughing staff and apparently seeking a business loan , guaranteed by the state.

25% of anything over the 6m Palace paid for him, yes.

That's why I thought a swap would make sense, if we had anyone they wanted

I remember years ago when Monaco were signing your man Joao and James from Porto, that it was a 70m double deal, but they put Moutinho as 1.5m so they didn't have to pay Lisbon much in their sell on %

Hopefully there is no foundation for our interest in this sulky gobsh...e

 

[bitter-no-better]

Palace are clearly planning for life after Zaha, and the player definitely wants away this window.

The problem for both, is that there’s currently no one in for him. I suspect there might be a relative bargain to be had as the window draws to a close. I suspect (based on zero ITK info btw) that we might end up being his destination, as I can’t see any of his previous admirers in the PL being interested atm.

You could be right. But think it could depend on us shifting 2 or 3 High earners.

If we do a swap we still have to put a value on the players we swap.

And we don't care about Palaces add on, but we do care about our accounts looking good so there's nothing to motivate us to put low values.

I mean maybe we put Zaha as low as well, I dunno.

Seems unlikely.

Lies again spread.
No, Spurs didn't furlough staff.
Just like Everton did at around the same time, Spurs also got a loan, the amount was £175 million which the Bank of England.
It was to help with the loss of stadium revenue and to help with turnover.

It amuses me that on here people use the fact the loan was direct from the Bank of England and at a low rate of 0.5% as areas on to slag them off or they are disappointed that Spurs didn't takeout a Mortgage Loan at a higher rate of interest with Metro Bank like Everton did ?

Of course you did

 

[Terrarian]

I don't get why supporters of other teams frequent here, the odd post and stuff when we're playing seems fine but hanging around being a nob isn't cool

 

[Arteta10]

I know we did.
