Transfer Rumour Wilifred Zaha - January Transfer Thread

[Librarian]

Any grown man that calls him Wilf is a monumental dog botherer.

How about Big Willy-Z

 

[duncs pigeon]

Don’t want him

Nor me, but if Carlo does who are we to argue

Every time i watched palace he was drawing 2 markers every time he was on the ball, hence him drawing so many fouls. If he were to come here and play with Rich and James, it would either free him up or free them up more. Probably both.

 

[Seathestars]

Are people honestly comparing zaha to bolasie? Jeez.

He’s not much better to be fair, he would be a slight upgrade at best. We need more

 

[Death]

Everton are not messing this season. 21 is when you become a man ... in America

That’s a flat out lie.

18, but for some reason that includes voting and military service...and not drinking.

 

[Seathestars]

That’s a flat out lie.

How can it be a lie, this ain’t a court of law mate. It’s my opinion, yours may differ but you wouldn’t be lying either.

I don’t think we’re actually interested in him.

Same.

Saw him drive down my road (in South London) in a ludicrous super car last year. His number plate, Wilf 1.
He had to go about 5 miles an hour because of the traffic so I asked him when he was signing for Everton. He gave me a thumbs up.
Proof if ever it was needed he's coming .

Ok fair. Surprised you actually believe that though.

4 goals.

That account is like Statto with Sigurdsson.

 

[TmoMoney0721]

Yea i'll pass on Zaha, i'd rather buy a new RB.

I think you're being a bit harsh to just look at his goal record for Palace as an indicator of his talent (if that is what you're doing, haven't seen other posts if you elaborate further elsewhere).

I'm not saying he's all that - far from it - but look at that Palace side. Utter toilet. I've watched games where opponents double and triple up on Zaha because he is absolutely their only threat. There is no-one else at Selhurst occupying defenders' minds. Hence why they brought Tosun in.

I think you'd certainly see a far better Zaha in a team where responsibility is shared.

All that being said, for the money they'd want it's a firm no from me. If it's a modest fee with Iwobi moving back to London, yes all day because I think he'd prove to be better than what we have. None of Bernard, Iwobi or Walcott even got four last season. That's how ineffective we are in the wide positions.
