Froggy Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 People look at our defensive record last season and think defenders aren't what we need, but if you look at the amount of saves and shots De Gea had to face it'll show you just how lacklustre the back four really was. Young has done a good job for being a converted winger but ultimately isn't good enough. Valencia is getting on now despite having a few good seasons. I've lost all faith in Jones and Smalling. Two donkeys. Bailly is the only one of the back four who is of the highest quality, and he struggles with fitness. I'd like Lindelof to partner him this season if we go in with the players we have. In regards to Maguire he's a good CB but good isn't really what we need to catch up with City (and probably Liverpool now). £60m is nuts. For that sort of money you'd be looking at someone of a much higher quality. Unfortunately he's going to be an upgrade on what we have now and we'll probably buy him. I'd only really be happy with it if Jones and/or Smalling are sold to fund the deal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Man Utd should’ve been in for VVD. Time was - Man Utd used to buy the best players in the league. Cole. Yorke. Cantona. Ferdinand. Carrick. Berbatov. Rooney. They’ve mostly stopped doing that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For that sort of money you'd be looking at someone of a much higher quality. You have the money. So why worry about value. Even with the crazy deal you offered Alexis, isn't your wages to turnover (or revenue, dunno which one) lower than 50%. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
leffe186 Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Rumour is that Palace have accepted both Chelsea's and our offer for Zaha, and now it's up to him to choose. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

leffe186 Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 How much? No idea. They're supposed to want 70M+ according to the usual bullshit, but my nearly-completely-random guess would be 60M or so. Presumably Chelsea would offer appreciably more wages, and weirdly he might have a better chance of a regular starting berth there if the rumours about Hazard and Willian being off are true.

Mikky Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 You would assume he's better off at Chelsea? Son, Alli, Erikkson and Kane - set in stone Lamela and Lucas to come in Hazard, Giroud, Willian Pedro, Morata, Batshuyai, Cesc Doubts over quite a few of the Chelsea players???

toon25 Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Will be interesting to see how he gets on in a top side. Strikes me as a player that’s far more comfortable as a big fish in a small pond. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Rumour is that Palace have accepted both Chelsea's and our offer for Zaha, and now it's up to him to choose. Palace would be fucked if he goes. Also I don’t think either move would be good for him, I think he’s already shown that he’s better being a big fish in a little pond than a little fish in a big pond.

Guest firetotheworks Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 £60m for Zaha isn't all that bad at all tbh. He regularly gets goals, assists, and pens and scares the shit out of opposition defenders. It's the mentality side of things that's the only concern considering how different he is when he's the big fish as opposed to a little one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
