Wilfried Zaha

[Bluedylan]

This is why people baulking at £25m for Tierney is just a bit outdated. Maddison just went for £20m from the Championship. It's just the market now.

Agree with the Tierney for mid-twenties is an acceptable risk.

But even in todays market this seems steep for what Zaha represents.
I do think £50m+ is about where he is at though

Yeah, 50m I could understand. I would still think it is high by about 10m - 15m, even with crazy prices going around, but it is at least in the ball park.

[GrantyBoy78]

It says a lot about the way football has gone when the likes of Palace don’t need and probably wouldn’t be tempted by £50m for one of their players.

40 million plus Bolasie and some cola cubes

Shit deal that, I actually rate Cola Cubes

[TheRam]

It’s not happening.

Nothing rumour.

Cola Cubes are good, but they will never have the class of Sherbit Lemons or Aniseed Balls

[indiantoffee1975]

Norfolk enchance.

Personally, I don’t think he’s what we need, even with a more modest price tag.

They’d be wise to sell him now as I don’t think his stock will ever get much higher. Partly as VAR will inevitably make its way into the PL before long and he’ll not get about half the penalties he gets now.

Would be kinda surprised if he ever gets a move to a big club, except in a Webeck to Arsenal sort of move where he’s a squad filler.

Nah I think we could do with someone who drags their team up the pitch as an outlet. We lack 1v1 players as well.

Although I do think Bolasie could do that job v.easily in a silva side so a bit surprised to see him getting punted. Unless Brands has pulled him out of a spreadsheet for good financial reasons.

It's just that Bolasie's output is far too inconsistent and unpredictable to be able to plan a team and a team's attack around. He's good for a relegation threatened side, because he might win you a game every 6/7 games, and get you valuable wins, but if you're aspiring to crack the top teams, you need consistency of output and weight of numbers of goals/assists.

Yeah I get that, I wouldn’t necessarily say that leads to the logical conclusion of Wilf ‘out for a throw in’ Zaha, but he has been improving and I guess hitting his peak now so if you’re ever gunna get him nows the time.

Consistent output from wide is probably very hard and expensive to find also.

Big fan of sherbet lemons works

[blargins]

One of the reports suggested he didn't settle well in Manchester, but of course he was younger then.

Puts the fee we got for Lukaku in a negative light though.
