Manxst Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 5 minutes ago, Toon88 said: Have to say, looks the weakest bottom half of the PL for quite some time. Sheff Utd, Luton, Burnley, Wolves, Everton, Palace & Forest. Dreadful. Along with the strongest top half for years. It’s going to be a great season to watch. (Hopefully.)

RobsonsWonderland Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 (edited) Strange one with Zaha... I can only think he thought clubs would be willing to pay the salary he wanted or at least use one or two to bid against each other. Seems he has either priced himself out of the moves he wanted or maybe left it too late in his career to get a top six team Edited July 23, 2023 by RobsonsWonderland Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 He’s massively invested in palace and the area TBF, maybe he just never wanted to go. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wullie Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 I'm so surprised he's gone to that graveyard league, thought he'd end up in Serie A if he left Palace. I still love him as a player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smal Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 (edited) Feel like Zaha has to be the central player in the team to be at his best and Gala are possibly the "best" team where he could be that. He'll have the chance to win league titles there and be the key player. He's not getting that status in any of the top 5 leagues and I don't think he works in a top 6 PL side at all.

Optimistic Nut Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 They might have made a rod for their own back offering him £200k a week as well. Anyone they have lined up to replace him will be thinking they'll have a crack at that salary. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still love him as a player. I think the racism might have put him off Italy, although Turkey is far from ideal when it comes to that. In his pomp, Zaha was a player I begrudgingly admired because he was a lock for about 15 goals/assists a season which is impressive for someone that plays predominantly as a winger. Despite that I think Palace may have dodged a bullet here. Prior to last season there was only one season where he failed to break double figures for goal involvements. Last season he scored one league goal after mid-November and missed a lot of games through injury. I also think he's starting to slow down physically. He doesn't look as explosive nor does he look as dangerous when trying to take a man on. I appreciate there's always sentimentality at play in situations like this, but offering £200,000 a week for four years (roughly £41.5m) just doesn't feel in line with how that club is run.

The College Dropout Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 Interesting one Zaha. He must be at the ‘I want a new challenge’ stage of his career. He’s stated before he wants to win trophies and seemingly wants to play in the champions league. And seemingly he’ll do that by any means necessary. If I were him or his agent. I would be on the phone to Arteta, Howe and co. and offering my services for £80k p/w. But I think he’s too used to being a big fish mentally and in his play style. Palace aren’t overly reliant on him anymore. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
