would anyone be upset if we bin-dipped zaha and tielemans?
Not upset, but Tielemans will be looking for huge money given his contract situation - and that has been widely reported too - and this is Zaha's last chance at a big contract, he's down to his last year on his Palace deal too, he's going to want massive money and a good length.
Short-term they'd make us stronger, but if anyone is looking at them as easy additions that improve us for a couple of years and then we sell them on - those wages would be seriously prohibitive. As we have seen with basically every Arsenal departure where a ridiculous contract was sanctioned by the previous regime.
I don't want us to play that game anymore. I'd rather we think longer-term, and go in really hard when we find the right fit.
