I read that myself, I would be thrilled if we signed him, but at that price....ouch. So far just about every signing we have actually done has come in less than what was initially recorded. At least to this point it seems like Brands is not one to just grab his ankles at the negotiating table. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EFC-Paul Posted August 5, 2019 Report Share Posted August 5, 2019 It's an awful lot of money but that's the modern game players going for ridiculous fee's Maguire Bissaka Rodri NDombele etc then there's the prices banded around Ake £75m!! mental.... Zaha is the type of quality and player that could be the difference in this side seriously challenging the top 6 He knows the league is at the right age and can add goals assists and can turn a game on its head in a split second, some will say big fish small pond which could be true but I genuinely think he's potentially a massive piece of the puzzle Imagine a settled front three of Kean Richi Zaha StevO and Newty82 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finn balor Posted August 5, 2019 Report Share Posted August 5, 2019 Palace don’t score enough goals as it is. They sell Zaha in the last few days of the window and they will really really struggle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
London Blue Posted August 5, 2019 Report Share Posted August 5, 2019 According to Palace fans I know, the club has no money, their accounts for the last two seasons showed big losses, i.e in the tens of millions, and they would not be surprised if he went, but would be surprised if it was us and not Chelsea next year. Although some say the club is going down hill fast and he (Zaha) does not want to spend another season in a relegation battle and so they think he will join us.

It just seems suicidal that they would let him go with no time to replace but I suppose crazier things have happened (not much crazier, mind you).

Wouldn't surprise me if Bolasie, and McCarthy went in the opposite direction. Bolasie is a like for like swap (although nowhere near as good), and McCarthy gives midfield cover they need. Would explain why neither have left yet despite both being linked to other clubs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s certainly a thought that if they were going to sell at all it would involve players coming back given their lack of time in finding replacements.

StevO Posted August 5, 2019 Report Share Posted August 5, 2019 I really hope we can get him now. £65m seems a lot, but I think we got Kean and Gomes at pretty decent prices, not to mention the absolute bargain we got last season in Digne. I could let it go for the attacking options we would have. It would be nice to turn up at Goodison and be excited by whoever is picked. Zaha could be really good for us. Could give us the option of playing Bernard in the middle of Gylfi needs a rest too. EFC-Paul 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newty82 Posted August 6, 2019 Report Share Posted August 6, 2019 Seems a bit ironic and hypocritical that, if reports are true, they want full payment for Zaha upfront but still want McCarthy either way - but pay for him in installments!
