jdckelly Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 doesn't sound terribly likely to me but he was one of the first with the Lascelles info so maybe something in it. Whether its a good deal or not is another matter, he did well in the championship but did fuck all at man utd or on loan at Cardiff last season, the cardiff one in particular would concern me.

Stottie Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Not that we'll buy him, but presumably the going rate for Chicharito will only be a few million more. That would be much better value. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deuce Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 So who starts games for us on the right in the meantime? Sissoko Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Would much rather sign Ayew from Marseille. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 The front six is pretty much clear personnel wise. Tiote, Sissoko, Colback/Anita, De Jong, Cabella, Riviere. It's just a case of who plays where. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Collage Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 de Jong will score goals, Riviere will score goals, Cabella will score goals, Chucky, Cissé and Sissoko will score a couple of goals. We need a central defender. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 How is 7m a good deal for Zaha? What? Really? The guy is a talented player, come off it. We don't have any direct winger types, other than Aarons really, and we could do with letting him come along gradually. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 doesn't sound terribly likely to me but he was one of the first with the Lascelles info so maybe something in it. Whether its a good deal or not is another matter, he did well in the championship but did f*** all at man utd or on loan at Cardiff last season, the cardiff one in particular would concern me. The guy didn't play the whole off the first half of the season, for probably the first time in years. His confidence would have been down, and he would have just been flat out rusty. Not to mention he then ends up at a club fighting relegation. He could have doen better, but I can understand why he didn't exactly click straight away. I live near Crystal Palace and have seen quite a bit of him over the years. He's well worth it at £7 million. The kind of player you lot would love too, believe me. Loads of pace and skill, and he makes a difference out there for his team. Ultimately I just hope he isn't stuck at Man United again next year, because he deserves better than that. Good player.

Cronky Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 There was talk a few weeks ago that Van Gaal was going to try and convert Zaha into a striker. Not the worst idea in the world, because he is strong and fast, with a good shot. He seems to have failed as a wide player in the Premiership. He could dominate Championship defenders, but at a higher level it just looks like he tries to do too much and loses the ball. He needs to calm down and adapt.

olliemort Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Thought he looked very good at palace. 7million is a very good price especially this season with the tv money for a young english player. I would be more suprised if we were not interested given that theres a very good chance that we will make a profit after a season or two Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRD Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Zaha at 7m is about the right valuation. He plays in a position we aren't blessed in, is young and home-grown. We need more of those players to replace the average Saylors and Raylors that we have. If we continue with our work on Lascelles and Darlow and plan further ahead, we could replace the current eight HG player quota with: Krul Elliot Darlow Dummett Williamson Saylor Lascelles Raylor Bigirimana Colback Sammy Zaha Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole_Toonfan Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Never rated him as I have made very clear in the past. He's not worth 7m and he wasn't even as good as his hype in the Championship suggests. Ince for example was a lot better. If we have 7m to spend, I'd much rather add to it what ever we have set aside for a striker or on a defender. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 £7 million is nothing How is he not worth that much?! Very harsh. I suppose that is what Moyes can do to one's prospects. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
