Other clubs' transfers


Recommended Posts

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.

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.

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.

Annoyingly cuts off the bit where you say “since when do we believe the Mail anyway?”

 

 

 

Been waiting a while to use that one, eh? Have to respect it

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.

Feels like our bid for Ronaldinho when Man U and Barcelona were going all out for him.

This Mbappe deal (if it happens) will be the last straw for UEFA. They will need to do something quickly to stop their precious Champions League assests from leaving.

 

It's not going to be long now until FFP gets scrapped. Which obviously would be great news for us and 7 other teams in the Prem but not so good for the other 12.

Anyone else heard they're looking to offer him just a 1 year deal worth 700m Euro's?? Basically willing to pay 1b in total to have Mbappe in the league for a year.

 

I don't think there is anywhere on earth I wouldn't work for €700 million a year.

4d chess from PIF. They force UEFA to scrap FFP, we spend loads and win the lot.

 

Seriously though, this needs to force UEFA's hand.
