Transfer Rumour Zaha with poll

[DanB90]

I was dead against him a few weeks ago. But since palace rejected our bid, I want him so, so much.

....you see, I have a view that entertainers belong in the circus. I much prefer effective footballers. I’m not saying Zaha can’t be effective, but I admit to not being his biggest fan. Zaha has all the physical ammunition, if Brands/Silva feel they can get him to play with more purpose, then that’s fine.

You can entertain and be productive. He has proven in recent seasons that he can score and assist. And after all, football is part of the entertainment industry.

Not sure Delaney is a good source but I'd like it to be true

Crystal Palace 1-0 Everton (Schlupp 79)

Townsend from about 65 yards out.

He scored goals and got assists in a team which himself and Townsend aside offer very little going forward. Look at Palace’s record with and without him if you’re concerned about how effective he is.

He gets a lot of stuff from agents, FWIW

Agree on the entertainment part, I genuinely don’t give a flying one how ugly Everton play if it means they win every game.

Am warming to Zaha though. That frontline has a ridiculous amount of pace about it.

Don’t wanna be a little biff but if we get him for 65, and Zouma for 35, what are we looking like for FFP? Can’t be arsed with chelsea/barca/atletico style bans

Pretty
Sure our accountant owner and marcel brands have that covered

Im amazed that fans seem more worried about FFP than our Accountant Majority Shareholder....

Wilfried Zaha expects to join Everton before transfer window shuts

The 26-year-old has made his intentions to leave Selhurst Park this summer clear

Seems that statement from the Club the other week was a cover up to allow the Clubs to privately negotiate a deal and not have it plastered all over the media like the Maguire one.

Palace are simply waiting to bag their replacement then it'll be announced. Means they wont get stung like Leicester are.

Worrying is part of the job description of being an Evertonian.

Would love to see this feller play for us. Imagine if he does and does a Salah making the most of a tap on the foot at Anfield and we score a penalty winner.

One of a very small number of players who can thrill a watching crowd in today's game. He's an entertainer and on that basis alone we should get him.

I hope we sign him just to make you happy D.

If maguire is worth 80m then zaha is worth 65m to us.

It is what it is

Kean should be the one worth 65 and Zaha 25.

Depends what period we’re paying the deals over to be sure but we seem fine. Paying Kean off over 3 years will definitely help. Could also do with shipping out Henry, McCarthy and ideally Tosun for decent fees and shifting some of the others who don’t contribute to get them off the wage bill too.

Despite us bringing in quite a few already this summer we don’t seem to be down too much so far (if at all).
