Dokko Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 Always thought Zaha grafted his bollocks off. Mainly for himself though, and becomes a whiny little bitch if other don't graft for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see us offering UCL as any kind of pull either when he's been happy with midtable obscurity with Palace for almost a decade now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Jinx Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 You have to be pragmatic about what we actually need. We had the best defence in the league, no reason to think it’s been found out. We needed some extra bite in midfield and someone other than Bruno that could read the game well and break up play, pick the simple pass etc. We’ve done that. Tonali gives us extra control there. Isak, Wilson, Gordon, Miggy, ASM, and Murphy will get enough goals. It’s not super important to buy in this area but if we do, we need to buy a clear upgrade.

I’ll admit the players I brought up weren’t the best, but I’d sign them as backups to sell on in a year or two after we’ve improved them and wouldn’t be relying on them. I wouldn’t be starting Zaha and don’t think he’d be worth the wages to be a backup. I apologise, I was being rude Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is no different than taking a loan from a bank and won’t impact FFP, as if you pay all of the fee up front or in instalments the cost of the player is still stretched over the contract at a maximum of 5 years.

It doesn't really have anything to do with FFP. For FFP it'll be £60 million over the length of his contract, regardless of whether it's paid in a lump sum or not.

andycap Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 I think the club needs a couple of big players sold to bring in the targets we need. Who do you think is most dispensible out of our main squad? Maxi Wilson miggy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’d be after younger and cheaper surely, and be putting the cash towards other positions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 As with Pope, Maddison and Livramento, we're pretty opportunistic (or at least try to be) if we feel there's a good deal there, even if it isn't a priority position. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, plus you're basically buying a player on credit and will pay more as a result. So, it'll cost you more each year from an FFP point of view than if you hadn't effectively taken out a loan and had to pay interest on it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
