Dave Posted August 16, 2018 Author Share Posted August 16, 2018 8 hours ago, Marc said: It wasn’t obvious. I predicted the agent talk and no genuine interest just a new contract for Snodgrass. I know this is going to be a bit gutting for your split personality to hear, but because somebody didn't leave a football club doesn't mean there wasn't any interest elsewhere. Wilfried Zaha's agent doesn't need to exaggerate interest from other clubs for us to offer him the world and his wife. He has the biggest individual impact on one club in the whole league. 8 hours ago, Dan said: This is quite refreshing to be honest. Everything seems quite rosey here at the minute. We have stability, continuity and have added quality. Its having a positive effect on everybody. Inevitably we will fuck it up, but it's enjoyable at the moment.

6666 Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 Sorry Wilfred, we don't have "spend like a psycho" money. Signing that contract extension was a pretty dumb move from him when it's obvious he wants a move to any of the top 6 club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted June 28, 2019 Author Share Posted June 28, 2019 Seems like his agent has recognised that he is now stuck and is trying to drum up interest in the media. Given hes on six figures a week and has four years left on his contract I expect him to knuckle down and get on with his job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber CaaC (John)+ Posted June 30, 2019 Subscriber Share Posted June 30, 2019 Arsenal will have to pay Crystal Palace £100m to sign Ivory Coast forward Wilfried Zaha, 26, this summer. (Mail on Sunday) But Eagles chairman Steve Parish fears selling Zaha could jeopardise his plans of finding new owners. (Sun) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirBalon Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 We haven't got £100m to spend according to every source connected to the club unless we sell to generate money to buy plus £40m to £50m from the club. Even if we did have £100m, spending it on Zaha with the options you suddenly have starting at that proce range would be criminal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would we spend 100 million on a player we really do not need, we need to sort the spine of the team out, Zaha is just a step up from Iwobi and for a 100 million you can buy World Class players.

The problem is that right now World Class players have no reason to come to us. All the same even of they don’t want to come because of our current situation it doesn’t mean we should continue to throw stupid money at experiments.

Well that is what I meant but 100 million on Zaha, you can get 4 players at a same quality for that many if you do your scouting around Europe.

Chaaay AFC Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 Can't see anyway we buy Zaha, I think £50m is the absolute most we could and should go to. I'd love to get him but no way at the price Palace are wanting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6666 Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Don't know why we're even bothering with this. It's not even the main position we should be focusing on so there's really no point going for a player in that position when he's going to cost so much.

Dr. Gonzo Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 I don’t think £51m will get him, they just sold a fullback for £50m and Zaha is worth much more to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redcanuck Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 You have to wonder about bids like that, £51m when there is no way that Zaha will be sold for that. It frustrates me when Man Utd low ball bid for players. Do they make these kind of bids knowing full well that they won't be successful, just to appease the fans? So they can say well we tried but the club would not sell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaaay AFC Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Can't see this happening, I actually think £51m would be my absolute maximum. Surely there is better value out there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is 30 and only has 2 years left, but I fully expect the club to try and extend him. I can't see anyone serious being interested in him for the price we would want anyway.

I can't really understand you going this big on Zaha either. Surely the defence is the priority? If you go through this season not sorting that defence out I really do think you're dropping out the top six this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you go through this season not sorting that defence out I really do think you're dropping out the top six this year. I genuinely think wingers is just a big of an issue for us. We literally have no out and out wingers in our first team squad. A wide forward is a massive priority I'd even say we could do with another. Defence of course needs patching up but at least bringing in some width would give us balance. We do seem to be looking at a LB and a CB though.

Chaaay AFC Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Wow, I didn't expect to see comment this damning from his brother/agent. Its been reported that he will refuse to train for Palace again, obviously just rumours. Considering he only signed a bumper contract recently I can't see Palace letting him go at a price viable to us. Not too mention he is on a 6 figure salary already at Palace and he turns 27 in November, I'm not sure how smart this deal would be. I do like Zaha though, I just think we could potentially get better value elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His brother's a twat for coming out and saying that though. And if he does things like refuse to turn up for training or feign injury, then he's an absolute twat.
