I wish we'd just leave this one and not waste our time or our entire budget on him. He's not that good and I doubt we can pay the money anyway, Man U have a 25% sell on clause.Originally Posted by Marc Overmars
We do seem to go after these deals we have little chance of completing (and shouldn't be completing in the 1st place anyway). What's happened to Tierney, is that deal dead in the water now?
Ziyech is available for 25 million, he'd be a good bet.

Weirdly, I agree with Zim.
Zaha’s good but he’s not *that* good and scoring goals isn’t our issue.
They also reported Noncebele was visiting the Spuds training ground and the signing for £65m was imminent.
It’s very quiet everywhere so all they’ve got at the moment is making stuff up.
Zaha has no end product. Apart from 'winning' penalties, but refs have clocked onto him now.
He's not even going to be cheap. For the kind of money Palace want we can surely do better than him?
Would be happy to see Nelson get a crack in the team. That money should be invested in a CB and CM.
Zaha - no thanks. If we were talking about a 21yo then you might get value, but £80m for a player who’s going to be 27 in November is a luxury we can’t afford (and the same kind of poor recruitment that’s got us into our current mess). Better, younger, cheaper players out there...
The price they'd want makes it a complete non starter, so almost don't know why we are wasting anytime with this one.
Reports saying the 40 mill budget includes wages!
He will probably get more pens and score more with the ridiculousness of how VAR is being used and handball rules though....
Not sure why there’s so much talk about it - there’s barely any substance to the reports aside from Ornstein saying Zaha would like to play for us. It’s not a transfer that’s going to happen.
It just shows how surprisjgly quiet the market is the PL so far that this is being talked about so much.
Although saying that, I reckon the Noncebele deal will still happen.

I wonder if Real would swap Ozil for Bale?
