This has nothing to do with the fake photoshop, but I have a bit of ITK from Palace that we are ultra keen on Zaha and will making a massive effort to get him.

A friend of mine (was my usher at my wedding) knows Parrish really well from the advertising world. My friend is a Palace fan, and has actually stood in as Chairman for the day at Palace before!

He text me this morning to say Parrish has told him they are really going to struggle to keep Zaha and Spurs are the most keen.

I will try to get more info if I can.

Was thinking about Gards tweet at lunch..Zaha gone a bit quiet over the last 48hrs so maybe Martials acting as a bit of a cover to the press? This (if true) Parrish part would back up Gards.

'Big' deal could also apply, not just because he'd be expensive, but also if we are sending 1-2 players in the other direction.

We'll make a bid on deadline day for about £55m, which will get rejected and then we'll spend the rest of the day rushing around trying to get a deal done...but at least if we can't get him in we'll be able to say we tried, right? :rolleyes:...

Don't see how they can struggle to keep him. He's on a long contract with no release clause. Quite simply if we don't pay up we won't get him.

He could indicate that he won’t be trying so hard in the coming season. He more or less kept them up last season.

Depends how big the offers they get are. If they have a valuation and someone matches it or gets close then it's possible.

When a player is adamant that they want out it's always a struggle. Most managers don't want disaffected players in the dressing room. Look at what's happening with Martial, United have attempted to force him to stay and his lack of motivation and sour demeanor have caused problems on their preseason tour to the extent that Mourinho wants shot of him. Contract or no, if Zaha is desperate to get a move to a bigger club it's something they'll have to consider.

Chelsea will be sniffing around him, particularly if they lose Willian or Hazard and definately be sniffing if they lose both.

Yeah likely scenario. Although it would be quite funny if Chelsea done them out of lucrative moves to Barca and Real and the 2 of them decided to sulk and down tools for the season which wouldn't surprise me.

Money where his mouth is! Fair play mate if it's real ITK like you say it is you'd probably have enough stuff to silence those thinking you've got too much time on your hands

Martial's got good cause. Went there for a big fee and has justified it, yet struggles to start a game in an unenterprising side.

Surprised at Zaha being so desperate to leave Palace. He got dumped back there by United, is their star player, and they gave him a whopping wage. Strikes me as massive ingratitude.
