Transfer Rumour Zaha with poll

[davek]

Proven to be utterly rubbish.

Does proven just means he plays in the PL, because that's about all hes done. I mean Salah took just shy of one season to all but overtake his entire goalscoring record, and he wasn't proven

Goalscorer - proven
Assist maker - proven
Player who entertains and gets fans excited - proven

Forget the fee, he's worth it.

Fair enough, lets buy Andros Townsend instead then, he managed 1 goal less than Zaha, I mean its only Palace, surely in a good team Townsend could score 12 or 15 and would only cost around 50m.

Well all I can say is shame on Silva and Brands if any truth in it. They are getting roped in into believing he is a good player. They should know better.

Hes horrid David, even if I ignored the fee, the lack of end product, he throws himself to the ground every chance he gets and then sulks when he doesnt get the decision, hes everything we should avoid in a player.

Im very confident that they do.

That logic also suggests that Bernard should be outed immediately.

Think it sends more of a statement to the rest of the league to be honest, just dont want us to go crazy and pay 70m for him... if we can keep the fee around 40 and get rid of tosun and McCarthy I'd be happy.

Looks like we might be in pole position now.

Zaha? Goalscorer?

On what planet do those two words go side by side?

70 goals either scored or directly assisted. He has end product. Imagine him tearing every FB in the league a new one with Richarlison on the other side and the new boss striker that Jug Head better bring in.

It'd be formidable.

It goes without saying that 70M is way too large a fee. It's be players + cash. Palace would do that.

70 goals in 10 seasons, utterly laughable figures.

 

[Tubey]

32 of them.

An entire team built around him and only last season did he get double figures.

He's not a goalscorer by any stretch of the imagination. He's a pacey trickster who can rattle defences and cause openings elsewhere, but his end product both in terms of goals and raw assists is sorely lacking.

I'm not saying he's a bad player, but he is what he is. If we brought him in, the hope is he's more consistent and/or he opens up space for the likes of Richarlison and Sigurdsson to flourish.
