Zaha

To be honest don’t think he’s a player we should be after. Centre mid and another Striker is where our priorities should lie.Another CB and LB also all need to be in front of any need to sign Zaha
 
You do follow the logic that Son is excellent (and proven) cover for Kane, and so - should we buy a player like Zaha, Son could deputise for Kane easily, dont you?

Fully understand that, what I'm saying is that I'd sooner have Son play than Zaha and then have a deputy for Kane that doesn't fill a slot where we have 3 players already.

Son, Lamela and Moura as our wide players with Kane plus new backup. IMHO Son > Zaha.
 
How much would you CF "upgrade" cost? 20mill? 25 mill? 30mill? And for what? half a dozen starts a season mainly in the minor cups?

What makes you think he'd only get half a dozen starts? There have been games where we've been crying out for 2 up front and we haven't had that second striker, as for cost if Zaha is going to cost £45 - 50m as the papers say why not spend a similar amount on a decent striker.
 
Not against having a 4th but would prefer a CF that can play wide not the other way round, if Kane gets injured we have zero cover and I'd sooner see cover there than out wide and I don't see Zaha as a CF.

As for Zaha himself I think he's over priced purely because he qualifies as English.

Fair enough that makes sense.

Son could be that guy?
 
Chelski want to sell Willian, are the only ones to have bid for Zaha (35 mill plus Drinkwater), Zaha wants to play for a top 6 club which includes Chelski, they will offer him more money than he is on at Palace

So that leaves us with Martial who Utd refuse to sell to us
 
Do you believe everything you read or just the stuff which puts a negative spin on things?

Guesswork from all the information. Chill out mate its only a bit of fun.

And it's only negative if you like the player. If you don't want the player it's only positive news;)

Id like us to sign Zaha but if he wants to go to Chelski for whatever reasons then I guess we will try and sign someone else.

Who knows he may still end up at Spurs if we are still interested

No harm in speculation and guesswork until the window closes and then we will know. Am i wrong?
 
Like I said specifically when he was playing Cf as whoscored breaks down the position and you mentioned Jansen,so 9 goals in 21 as the CF.....

But he wasn't the main striker!!!!! Benteke played 30 games and Sørloth played 4 games up front.

@Kandi1977, that's where I took the 9 as CF from.

Either way I'm not convinced that Zaha is an upgrade on any of the players we have who can play out wide up front and would sooner see a CF come in so we can leave Son in his best position which is playing wide.
