Big fish in a small pond, he wasn't that successful at Man U and went on loan to Cardiff.. We’ve covered this earlier in the thread but he was very young and only played a handful of games.

Sibdane Posted August 7, 2019 Report Share Posted August 7, 2019 Not to keep this thread off topic, but if anybody on TT is interested in setting up an American FFL I wouldn't mind getting it started. We would need at least 8 people to keep it fun though. markjazzbassist 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bailey Posted August 7, 2019 Report Share Posted August 7, 2019 9 hours ago, Newty82 said: Then the word is that Zaha is keen to come. I always have this view that if players want to go, show your intent and hand in an official transfer request and maintain professionalism and respect. I was watching a program when they were talking about transfer requests (well it wasn't just about that as that would be a weird show) and they said that if a transfer request becomes public knowledge then it is normally the club releasing the news as they are getting ready to sell the player and they want the fans on side, blaming the player for the move away rather than the owners. If the player heard that in the news they knew they were off and should start packing. This was from a player who had retired a couple of years ago and things have changed a lot since the transfer he was talking about but I thought it was interesting. nutmegwolf203, StevO and Newty82 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judging by the Palace forum the tide is certainly turning against him now. I'd be a surprised if he played against us even if he stays so from that perspective we've accomplished something already. chicagoblue, Newty82, Bailey and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sibdane Posted August 7, 2019 Report Share Posted August 7, 2019 If we somehow managed to get both Zaha and Zouma (unlikely), would this go down as our best transfer window ever based on player reputation? I think so. It's easily in the top 3 for me. StevO and Bailey 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
