Wouldn't be adverse to Grealish as offers something different from central; drive, dribbling and can pass and shoot, but for fuck sake write it into any contract that he has to get rid of that god awful otter skin on his head.

Same was probably said about Alli and Dier. One player in one team is totally different to the same player in another team.

I don't think it's really fair to Alli to compare him with Grealish. Apart from being English and plucked from a lower division, Alli was four years younger and performing at a much higher level than Grealish is. he scored something like 16 goals from a deep lying midfield position whereas I don't even think Grealish had 10 direct goal contributions last season

With regarding this Zaha revelation of a deal???

Palace in not a very good position financially. Don’t want to elaborate further. Only thing I will say, you don’t want them ending up a Villa. Funny thing is Parish been courting us for a year especially. But says different to the media. They have never closed the door. Even Citeh bulked at their crazy valuation on Zaha.

On a side note, Citeh refusing to pay over and above 70m for Mahrez.

Cheers for the info as ever, Herc!

I thought it was strange that these Zaha links haven’t gone away, despite what even the player has said publically. This is now obviously being fuelled from inside Crystal Palace.

I wouldn’t be against us spending a significant amount of our budget on Zaha. How long has Poch wanted him? He would be in or around the first 11, and would give us some more much needed pace, particularly on the break.

Forget signing reserves, we need to buy first teasers who will put pressure on the current first 11. Don’t waste money on the Nkoudou’s of this world. Decent money on Premier League proven players please. Zaha falls into that category.

Just imagine the terror...Son and Zaha (or Martial) bearing down on the wings.

But when we signed him we had people saying he wasn't ready, same with dier but both were.

There is a clique on this site, nobody named, nobody shamed, who enjoys nothing more than to always take the side of the club. There is no reasoning with them or entering into a mutually productive dialogue or interesting discussion. They will always repeal any hint of a post that isn't fully glorifying the club. Just roll with it. Or not.
It might surprise you to learn that there are those who share the same views as the club. Should they just stay away from this forum as they do not conform to your views? Or should they play the hypocrite just to appease you?

Going from Martial or Pulisic to Grealish and Zaha is classic Spurs

I honestly think Zaha is a more proven performer than Pulisic.

I have around ten mates who are Palace season ticket holders and they absolutely rave about him. I think he is a special talent.

If Fergie had have continued at United and guided Zaha instead of Moyesey, I believe Zaha would still be there now and he'd be a key player.

Different league though and Grealish has performed pretty well in the Premiership already.

So hypothetically they get Grealish for 20 mil and Zaha for say 40 mil, does that mean the money saved from the 150 mil number tossed around a lot gets transferred into a new spot, perhaps CM? Or does it go to raise the DeLIgt bid slightly higher?
