Wilfried Zaha

[parishioner]

They had a £35m loss in their last financial results. They’re not exactly rolling in it.

Exactly. We covered our loss by selling AWB. We don't want to, or need to, sell Zaha. Would mean major restructuring.

I'd definitely consider involving Iwobi in a swab deal (plus money). Think it would be good for both parties. I genuinely think Iwobi is a good player albeit not a starting player for the top 6, he'd also get to stay in London. Also, for us, we get a homegrown player in return for a homegrown player of our own meaning we don't have to worry about that quota

you don't even understand your own post never mind how this is working... In the same post you admit they don't need to sell cheap and then go on to explain how 55 is more than enough... Strange post

What's so strange? £55M+a player on loan is more than a fair enough price for him, doesn't mean Palace need to accept that however, especially when they've just made £50M from AWB.

Dunno but I could say that. Anyone could. I think Nelson would be very open to the idea to get proper PL mins.

That's why it was so strange because you deeply insinuated that they should have no choice.. By all accounts they have the stronger hand here until such time as Zaha formerly requests the transfer..

 

[HairSprayGooners]

I think if it happens it'll happen very quickly. He's back off holiday in 5 days.

He'll hand in a transfer request and the deal will be done fast at something like £55M and the players mentioned. That's if it happens that way.

I did think maybe we're biding our time to be able to offer players and force their hand.

They’re linked with McCarthy who has played about 10 minutes of football in two years. Elneny would be a much better option. Nelson on loan is a ready made replacement (albeit not as good) for Zaha. If we could go to £55-£60m guaranteed money I think we’d be able to do a deal with those players included.

 

[RunTheTrap]

Personally we should be loaning out Saka or Martinelli. We don’t really have many wingers who can play on the right compared to the left.
Wingers on the left:
Zaha (if we get him)
Iwobi
Saka
Martinelli
Wingers who can play on the right:
Mkhitaryan
Nelson

So yeah, this deal isn’t probably for the best in my opinion

I am surprised we have made a bid for McCarthy, although he has been coming back from a bad injury which explains lack of game time. At around £10m I would agree Elneny would be a better bet - although ? re temperament after his brain fart against us at your place. I'm not sure either would be what we need- some pace and creativity in AM.

Reis Nelson is not ready for Arsenal first team, a loan at palace could be very good to him. Need an option to recall if he doesn't get gametime tho.

£80m inside a year.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

80M a year? no team do that another BS article. i hope Orny just come and say we already move on to other targets but he didn't.

When there’s nothing to report journalists just put out the old stuff and try and add new bits of information themselves. We won’t know where we stand with this until we make a 2nd bid. At that point Zaha will either hand in a transfer request and we’ll probably up the bid a little bit or he’ll do nothing and we’ll move on.

Nelson filmed a video for pro direct soccer that was released yesterday.

He in London?

i think we not gave up on him yet because according to emery he want to add the very expensive targets he want and won't go to 2nd choices.
