I don't think Palace would even have sold for even £30m given what we paid for Sissoko. Deal got too expensive and he was obviously not desperate to force it through.

Shame, as he could have blossomed under Poch IMO.

Another player we've managing to help bump their pay up :D

Disappointing but oh well.

Very very surprised he signed a new deal but then perhaps he realised he's just suited to them and will be their main man?

For us it would have been far more tricky to get into our first eleven and if we were playing 3-4-2-1 he'd have to adapted to playing a little more centrally (as doubt would have been deployed as a wing back? Although would never have thought Moses would be either so there you go!).

Bit of a dodgy bump, sorry, but just spotted that the African Nations Cup has been moved to the summer and seem to remember that being the main reason we dropped our interest in Wilfried.

Signs of a slow summer and cabin fever on my part or potential for interest being reignited? Probably the former...

There's a small circle of hell reserved for thread bumpers

Would prefer him to mahrez after the recent links. Hope afcon moving may swing zaha back into poch ideas? Presses and causes defences havoc. Every time he got the ball against Liverpool the other day he caused them problems

I just remember a lot of people being aghast at the thought of us signing him when it was mooted.

Anybody get the feeling that this could be the guy referenced in the ITK chat about someone who we looked at, became unavailable and is available again?

Lol no chance in hell, just signed a new contract and is on over 100k a week. He's invaluable to Palace, no way they'd sell him this late in the window. It's basically a first class ticket to the championship.
They'd be asking for £50m+ anyway.
