Wilfried Zaha

Could totally believe we would try and structure a deal over multiple years but be surprised if palace took took it. Want our original offer 40 million over 5 years starting with £8m this season

Tam

I think the majority of large deals are structured over a number of years, mainly for cash flow reasons I’d imagine. It’s very unlikely that any clubs outside of the oil clubs, top Spanish clubs or United pay all their fee up front in one payment.

Oh I wasn't really arguing against that more I've seen some claims that this is evidence that the £40m budget is false but by structuring deals like this then it sort of supports the we only have £40m for this window.

Does feel like this £45m is a load of guff designed to ensure we get value in the market

Those figures are not fair as Zaha was the main man and the other 2 were bit-part players.

You are right it completely invalidates the comparison aspect of those figures.
My bad!

Not sure if you're sarcastic or not, but it does.

MuswellHillGooner

He is right as i already said.
Straight forward common sense failure on my part.
Oranges and apples is the analogy that springs to mind.

It will take a while but this will get done. Possibly even on deadline day. Buckle up everyone.

For the kind of money we're rumoured to be willing to spend there has to be better or equal targets out there. I'm certain that Chiesa could be had for less this summer for instance. Bloke's got everything we could dream of in his toolbox, and he's fluent in English too.

Anything over £50m for Zaha would be a massive misuse of our resources.

Zaha has gone from overrated to underrated now.

Hardly anybody stretches defences as well as Zaha in the league.

Agree.

QuincyAbeyie

Zaha is a player of similar quality to what Mane was when Liverpool got him. The latter has obviously gone up a level, but whatever his price was it sure wasn't 70m. The market hasn't inflated that much since then.

lorddulaarsenal

Zaha is exactly what we need. Great mix of athletic ability and skill

On the money issue - I would rather we overspend a bit than underspend this summer. This guy will elevate our attack. It’s time to pass Chelsea

Coombs

Think people are both worrying too much about money and underrating Zaha. He's an elite PL player, proven, entering his prime. Better than Mahrez.

Sicario

Elite PL player? He’s not the EPL equivalent of Figo was back in the day.

Or Overmars, Pires or Giggs. That is what I think of as ‘elite’. He’s more like your Ashley Young at Villa.

Literally nobody on here cares about us spending too much money. It's where we choose to spend whatever sum we have that people care about.

Coombs

If we sign Zaha and don't address our other issues, then feel free to criticize. Otherwise we're just projecting based on very vague and likely inaccurate information.

This guy, Martinelli, Tierney, Saliba with Ceballos on loan could be a decent enough summer, although I'd like a more senior CB. If signing Zaha hampers our ability to do that sort of business, then we shouldn't sign him, I'd agree with that.

goon

I think it would be a really bad use of resources, but fuck it, let’s just do it. Would be good to have a top dribbler in the squad.
