Wilfried Zaha

[Trilly]

People are really underestimating the talent level of reiss, he is elite.

What exactly do you mean by elite?

Mbappe is a year older than him and we all know what he was doing last year. Sancho is younger than him, Sterling was a year younger when he broke into the Liverpool team that almost won the title.

I really don’t understand this hype?

 

[Tir Na Nog]

Elite ffs. We're just setting our youngsters up for failure, the expectations are just way too high. Most of them won't live up to the hype. Being brutally honest here, if any of them end up being where Iwobi is now they should consider themselves very fortunate. Iwobi is one of the best youth prospects we've had in about a decade and even then most people don't seem to rate so what does that say about all those throughout the years who were hyped but didn't make it?

 

[Trilly]

and they all seem especially desperate to stop us from strengthening at all times.

This!

Teams seem to really enjoy kicking us, both on and off the pitch. Not exactly sure what we did to deserve this.

I guess they are talking about his potential rather than his current status.

Weirdly Palace don't seem to be making any moves in the market.

The market hasn’t given Palace a reason to spend. Keeping Zaha will be the number one target and Arsenal not making it hard for Parish to hold on to him. It’s a cliche but retaining Wilf in the coming season will be like a new signing. Any money spent imo will be on a decent CAM and likely close to deadline day.

None of this means anything until the AFCON is over and Zaha gets back to London. He'll then meet with Palace and it goes from there.

You not going to sign a striker? Maybe few decent CB and RB?

Eh? You're gonna get left behind.

 

[Sanchez11]

Can see Palace as a relegation candidate with or without Zaha.

Like you we are cash-strapped. Need to get the wage bill down which means it’s youngsters and one or max two incoming loans - unless we lose Zaha.

 

[HairSprayGooners]

£60M + £15M add ons/bonuses should do you alright then @parishioner

£30M up front. Job done.

 

[parishioner]

I wish it were that easy. Lose Wilf and the picture changes completely. Would require a major overhaul and three in to replace him to start rebuilding.

We can help you there...

You’ll be OK, flush with c.£100m. There’s some rubbish in the league next season. Brighton due a relegation soon (stop smiling), possibly Burnley, Norwich will be rubbish etc.

Ain’t cash strapped bro. That’s the frustration in these parts.

I think we would only want what you wouldn’t let go. So if it does go to the wire and we don’t have time to go to the market, any deal may mean some painful concessions re player exchanges- and we are talking permanent with buy-backs rather than loans.

Don't worry you will understand this season. Some players you can just tell they have that special something, reiss just hasn't been given the chance to Express his.

I felt the same way about Wilshere and Gnabry, whenever I see reiss play his touch his awareness, he's ready to have a break out season if the manager can place some faith in him and also if he keeps a level head works hard no reason he can be at the level of the aforementioned.

 

[Trilly]

Well yeah obviously but potential is something that is ‘converted’ into ability as a player matures.

I assume elite means the highest level of prospect? If so he’s already lagging behind some notable examples and it’s not like they’re going to stand still and wait for him. If Nelson is elite then what is Mbappe?

I believe in Reiss’s talent but it’s not everything.

Its unfair to compare him with Mbappe who is a phenomenon.
