Certainly hope so. Knowledge of injury notwithstanding, he could be a great option for us across the front 3 or even in a 2 behind. If he kicks on, could even be a starter. Surely DL has to back Poch on this, especially in view of the history with RB (ie. last transfer window). Zaha stuff is presumably about us not offering the sort of contract he was expecting. Imagine that relationship would be difficult to repair so not expecting this to happen. Finally, do feel for Ajax. Such a fantastic club (have a read of Brilliant Orange by David Winner if you get time) but money available in England and elsewhere is killing them.
Work colleague of mine is a big Palace fan and has always said we massively offended Zaha and his people by offering him around £45k a week and how low the supposed bid was. You'd think people understand that's how business negotiations work but it's always a risk if you try and lowball.
Maybe Poch gives them the big love and then Levy acts like he'd be doing everyone a favour by taking the player on!
