I'm with you on the stupidness, though he does look like he can be a threat in a similar way to bale

Zaha doesn't look stupid to me. Looks like a player with plenty of ability and a big future.

I admit i know nothing about him but i am also struggling to see where people are getting stupid from, as it is hard to tell from youtube highlights?

I've only seen him in a half here and there for Palace and on the Football League show most weeks, but he runs down a lot of blind alleys, tries too much fancy skill, and he's clumsy with his touch. A bit awkward in his movement as well. Maybe he'll become something special, but he'd need to iron out a lot of kinks, in my opinion.

Also hits a lot of rash shots where he wildly swings at the ball.

He'll definitely add attacking threat, but there will be lenty of times where he'll make us and his teammates want to pull there hair out.

By the way any of you bald out there fellow OMITTERS?

I shave my head. Does that count? 🙂

Is he stupid or is he a raw talent playing in the championship who has yet to fully develop his decision making?

Find myself disagreeing with you guys. I think he's got skills and mad potential. Only based on a few you tube vids, i think he is going to be a very decent player!

Zaha playing as if he's been parachuted in for the day from a team at top of the BPL. Championship has never seen a winger with his talent.

I have been told Arsenal will be targeting one of 3 forwards in the January transfer window. Llorente, Djeko and David Villa.

Only want villa out of those.

We desperately need pace in our front line.

Zaha would atleast make the opposition wary that he ould beast them

Zaha, doumbia and welliton. Let's go all FIFA

That lads a clown. Can't take him seriously at all.

David Villa he says?

Just 4 years too late on that one... Fucking hell, the guy publicly said he wanted to join us and Wenger did nothing.
