Currently better than both but Lookman definitely has the potential to rival him Vlasic isn'tt a wide man regardless of what Wiki says he's a right sides attacking mid whereas Zaha is more of a winger/forward Having options and quality is what I mentioned before fuck Yannick off and have those three along with Walcott vying for position's StevO and Matt 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, he’s still young (i think) and I know the lad has talent but... he’d cost a fortune and I really am not sure if he’d be worth the cost.

Bolasie has never had much output and just loves the roll the ball under his foot a hundred times before losing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Massive improvement on both, and even Walcott IMO. I like the two players you mention but Zaha was one of the main reasons Palace stayed up. He is a CL level player now in my eyes based on last season. The test for him will be backing it up but I didnt think there was any reason to suggest he wouldnt.

Oh I know he’s better than Bolasie, not too difficult, but I meant more that I’ve only really see him have highlight moments in a game and then disappear. Not that I’ve paid much attention in the last couple of years, but can only go on what I’ve seen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finn balor Posted July 12, 2018 Report Share Posted July 12, 2018 I would rather spend £35 mill on Lozano or ziyech. Zaha is a good player but not worth the amounts talked about. I can see our team being based around lookman and the front 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking better than he actually is because the rest of the team was poor? Not for me. I was surprised at how good he was, specifically his decision making, which is something that I didnt normally expect from him. Dont get me wrong I am not keen on the prices mentioned and we need to get hold of these players before they show their hand so to speak but I really like him and I expect him to shine wherever he goes (or stays).

Bailey Posted July 14, 2018 Report Share Posted July 14, 2018 Allegedly this was the response to our initial approach for Zaha: He said: "My understanding was when the initial and informal contact was made between Crystal Palace and Everton regarding Zaha and the Everton representative suggested they would be willing to pay £35m plus add-ons, the response was ‘you paid £50m for Gylfi Sigurdsson, do you think we’re stupid!’ https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/988722/Chelsea-transfer-news-Wilfried-Zaha I think that may be the response from a few clubs this summer!

My mates dogs parrot’s girlfriend works in a bar and she served a pissed bloke with a Dutch accent who said he worked at Finch Farm and he told her our opening bid was £100m plus Bolasie but they rejected it instantly Apparently we’ve now gone back in with an improved offer of £50m and they are considering it Newty82 and Bailey 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newty82 Posted July 20, 2018 Report Share Posted July 20, 2018 This would be an awesome signing, and we have enough players to offer in exchange. I'm also thinking Spurs are more likely. However, I just wonder if they will pay what is required? In both transfer fees and salary. They're not keen on splashing money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still it's 6 hours of your day spent on the road. People in US are used to travel couple of hundred miles a day to work an back home, but in Europe it's not that common. People here are used to spent that 3 hours after work at the pub on the way home. Shukes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shukes Posted July 20, 2018 Report Share Posted July 20, 2018 Culture though mate. To is a two hour drive each way following an eight hour day is a real strain. We’re used to being an hour away from the coast anywhere in the country. Not making an excuse for him as the wages should easily outweigh the travel, but it is something we grow up with. for you guys, your neighbours are half hour away haha!
