Is Zaha home grown? We're really struggling for HG I think.
He is because he came up through Crystal Palace's youth system. Grew up in Croydon from the age of four and joined the Palace academy at 12.

But the players you mentioned were not putting up these numbers. They are elite numbers for a wide forward.
If we can swing it financially without compromising too much with other areas of the team we should get Zaha. Auba and Laca have scored 50 goals this season, add 15+ from Zaha as he will be playing in a better team and that is up there with Mane, Firminho & Salah and not far off Sterling, Aguero & Jesus.
Actually I'll retract that. I think we could get top 4 next season with just Zaha and no other signings taking into account Bellerin and Holding will be back.
Auba, Laca & Zaha will score 60+ goals, however poor the rest of our team is, that would be enough to blow Chelsea and United away especially as both their top scorers could move this summer.

10 goals 5 assists is nothing special, when Zaha has been playing mostly as a striker this season. It's unlikely he will break 10 goals as an Arsenal player, so why would we want to sign him? Pre leg break Walcott is twice the player of current Zaha, 14 goals 10 assists in his best season.
You have to look a little deeper though. Zaha only scored three goals in 18 games as a center forward. He scored seven of his goals playing wide. So he might have been significantly more productive had he not played half his games out of position.
Oh look, 7 goals playing in the left flank. Don't we already have more than enough players on the left and not enough on the right?
He'll be double that, English clubs don't have any pressure to sell.Zaha would be great signing for all top 6 teams apart from maybe City and Liverpool english team over value their players i'll consider us buying him if he cost 30-40M.
yes that's why we should focus on other players english clubs demand alot of money.He'll be double that, English clubs don't have any pressure to sell.
or should have bought him before going to Manutd with Arsène he'll have great chance to improve himself at that age. just saw stats Zaha only played 4 games for manutd why the f**k did they buy him?It's a shame the club never tried to tempt Palace to lower the fee for Zaha by offering one of Roy's favourites in Wilshere or Welbeck as part exchange when they had the chance.

Think they had some problem with his attitude or something. I remember reading that one day during pre-season of Moyes or LVG (can't remember which) told the players that they could have tomorrow off, but if they wanted to get some work in they could come in. Zaha was apparently the only player in the squad that didn't show up the next day.Fergie’s last signing in January 2013 which Moyes for some reason ostracised.
