Never gonna lose hope

We will see Zaha in an Arsenal shirt...even if it sadly means making @Rimaal Kroenke’s mistress.
Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

What? You can be the heroine who saves Arsenal football club. We’d give you a statue outside the stadium and name a stand after you!
You’d get him to give us a 300m warchest every summer. Oh and plus you could convince him to sack Arteta and bring in Zidane as manager.
No need for me, I'm sure your mother will do the job admirably.
Hahaha that’s a low blow.
Why you gotta bring my mama into all of this?
Yeah we could really do with a great dribbler. Games like the villareal game showed how easy it is to nullify us and we don’t have one player who can beat players and open teams upThink he’d actually do very well paired with a creative player. In recent years he’s gotten very good at finding the free man that the inevitable double team attracts. Imagine that spare man is Auba/ESR/Saka/Pepe in and around the box?
Not to mention you can bank on him to beat his man more often than not. Best dribbler in the league.
I wouldn’t mind either way but if you’re looking for a way to create chances for others despite Arteta’s football then this is one of the players you should be looking at.
I don't agree with this calculus based on potential impacts to qualify for EL or CL. At 29 there potentially are three good seasons in the player. It depends more on wages than anything else.Lets stay away from players approaching their 30s especially on their last big contract.
Let's start scouting and actually putting in the hours the time and the right negotiation techniques to get someone better and younger that Zaha.
Potentially under peak conditions. The odds are stacked against you. You don't spend 40-50m on something that may potentially serve you 3 years if you're lucky.I don't agree with this calculus based on potential impacts to qualify for EL or CL.

As per @Jakarta , we're potentially talking about something like 10m + AMN + Reiss. For me this would be a bit different from a player coming from Chelsea who has already won it all. Zaha still has quite a bit of ambition and hunger in him. I think he could also sacrifice some wages because of this. This is not my Plan A, but I am open to it, especially if we are letting one of Laca/Auba go on top of Willian and Reiss.Potentially under peak conditions. The odds are stacked against you.

It would be a poor signing.
Zaha is comfortably better player than pepe. The expectations has been lowered so much for pepe we take any positive he does as better than nothing. This is 72 million attacking player who is out of most matches except for moments. Zaha is scoring more and creating more despite being the main focus of every team Palace plays. If the club could go back in time there is no way they would buy pepe. Hell our previous football director was investigated by the club for spending so much on him and got sacked for it
It's lazy and stinks of opportunism and poor planning. It would show there isn't actually a plan in place.As per @Jakarta , we're potentially talking about something like 10m + AMN + Reiss.

As per what I said above, we really don't know what is going to happen with Laca this summer. He has to be sold or extended for a year on top of the year left, and that is part down to him. Not saying this will happen, but it could be a contingency idea.It's lazy and stinks of opportunism and poor planning. It would show there isn't actually a plan in place.
