Ali Z:

Just a brief update - Ndombele has been chased for 12 months, not yet completely over the line. Deals for Clarke and Sess brothers close too, told to expect a busy few weeks.

Trippier and Jansen out going deals nearly complete. CCV, GNK and Onomah are trying to be shifted by the club. No news on an incoming RB and apart from those mentioned, incoming deals will be dependent on outgoing ones.

Toby has no concrete offers and will probably stay and see out deal, Eriksen only wants two Spanish giants and there is no concrete interest so likely to sign new deal.

Mutterings of an unexpected signing but no name, I have an idea who I think it is but will update if confirmed.

Would Zaha be unexpected? There’s still strong interest from us (Poch). Ongoing talks!

That's slightly disappointing news if true; we need another cm in (lo Celso or someone else?) alongside Ndombele, whilst keeping the squad intact. Getting someone like him in after shifting players isn't actually helping us, because we aren't going to recoup that sort of expenditure by selling deadwood, meaning it'll likely be generated by Eriksen leaving, if at all. We should have more than enough money to sign all of these players without relying on sales given the tv and prize money made from the past two seasons, and lack of transfer expenditure in the same timeframe.

If there is truth in Palace getting the Zaha sell on clause removed in the AWB deal to United, it may reduce his asking price to something more manageable

Before we have 30 pages of guesses or cut and paste opinions on the player........Have we had ITK on Zaha today?

Sounds like Stoof could get a Repetitive Strain Injury over the next few weeks, hope the SC lawyers are prepared for the incoming claim.

Lovely update. If we got Ndombele, Clarke and the Sessegnon, with Eriksen and Toby staying, then we’d have sorted out CM, brought in some very exciting attacking potential and addressed our HG issues pretty much. We’d have depth and variety. More would be nice, but with no holes in the squad as such it would be understandable if it became one in one out after that (eg if Dier/ Wanyama/ Llorente/ Lamela move).

Completely missed the Toby news first time I read it somehow, would be very happy for him to stay 1 more year

Bases on Ali’s ITK: If I understand correctly, if the fee has been agreed we can now talk to the player? The payment structure etc. is something the clubs have to wrangle over but we should be able to negotiate a contract and hold a medical.

Or have I got that wrong.

Thanks for the ITK.

Both Sessegnons. First time in the history of football journalism that "Double Swoop" might actually mean something.

OK now we've had ITK on Zaha.

It won't go in the Read Only as per Breezers request.

I'll create a Zaha thread for you to cut and paste your opinions on the player. You did keep a text file, right?

Okay, so that makes Ali Z's post more understandable

If we can't get Lo Celso, or perhaps we've cooled on him, we're looking at other options and Zaha is one of them

Plus, this ties in with Herc's info that I posted above
