He is my new favourite guy.

Oi Parish, nobody puts Levy in the corner

Substitute the word "Bolasie" for "Zaha" and I think you'll find exactly the same story was being pushed by Palace at the same time last year. I guess it's a little game that they use to fire up their supporters.

Thank fuck for that

*sigh* not this shit again.

I really hope we don't get into a bidding situation and give this fake taned big nose **** a public forum.

He's repulsive. He's like a Benidormed version of the wankers from west ham.

And i just thought of a lookalike for that thread

 

[jonola]

Whoop whoop, thanks Steve, best news of the day

 

[strader]

regardless if zaha comes or not. Why does DL do stuff like this.

you wait all summer, then few days to the close of the window you put in a bid for another clubs player.knowing fully well they haven't got enough time to get a replacement. Basically unless we come up with a silly amount of money,he is going nowhere. Not that it bothers me,,but similar to westbrom last year. Dame stuff, honestly a pathetic strategy that doesn't work.

just rubbing other chairman the wrong way. Just embarrassing. Would spurs sell any of our top players if a bid came in with few days to get a replacement in. NO!!

I am getting really frustrated with all these pathetic strategy. I am a fan and not the club accounting general however I would like us to conduct our transfer the right, not splashing the cash neither penny punching. But these last minute moves are just painful.

Only a fool will continuously repeat the same thing and expect a different result.

Please carry on!

How will I sleep tonight at that devastating news. I bet I could get through an x-factor audition when I tell the judges how sad I am.

In this case, the reason appears to be that Zaha told the Palace management in the past few days that he wanted to leave. So we bunged in a bid.

 

[slartibartfast]

Really worries me if we did actually bid. I mean fk me anyone with any kind of a clue can see he's a one trick pony. A poor mans Townsend. I pray its a wind up.

Townsend is probably better. The thing is that Zaha's head has been turned and now he wants a move. Same thing happened to Berahino at West Brom and he hasn't been quite the same ever since. Once a player knows a bigger club has put a bid in then he isn't interested in playing for the club that actually pays his wages.

 

[tobias]

This feels odd. Feels the same with the interest in Berahino. Wasn't a player that was going to set the world alight but Spurs (seemed) to go all out to sign.

Im not of the opinion that Poch really wanted Berahino, despite the clubs efforts. And now with Zaha a similar footprint emerges,

Young. British.. Wrong mindset? Under achieving? Trust in Poch to reinvent them. Turn them into more valuable assets? Better trained, Better mentality. Better fitness.

I dont buy into the Moneyball theory as the be all and end all. But this is evidence of it isnt it.

My thought is that Spurs and Poch have agreed that player development is a metric for success as well as on pitch.

I thought we bid and he then said he was interested.

And berahino is still at wba and no big clubs want him anymore.

Modric got his has down and ended up at the biggest club in the world.

I looked back. It seems that we "expressed interest", then he said he wanted to leave and then we bid. Who knows if that's accurate...
