Yes, and doing a great job of it, according to a Palace fan I spoke to.
Cheers. I'm hoping we can sign a player that can fill both remits for us out wide and up front. Makes more sense signing Martial and Lookman (who we were linked to the other day) than the likes of Pulisic who just adds to our collection of attacking mids. So if Zaha fits into the former camp then i'm all for it.

Hopefully eliminates the need for money wasted on the likes of bloody Rondon. Worse than Llorente who is worse than Janssen.

Are we sure he can play centre forward? He been playing there for Palace? I thought Benteke had always been the focal point.

Atm that's why i'd prefer Martial, but I don't doubt Zaha's talent.
I believe he plays up top but sort of off the main striker as sort of a free roaming role.

I'm surprised Palace are willing to sell. He's not running down a contract is he and doesn't seem like he's throwing his toys out the pram. They could struggle to stay up without him.

I’d prefer Martial if it’s either/or.

That said, if Poch loves Zaha so much and it’s 45m tops, it should be a no brainer for Levy to get done.

I think Palace have financial issues
I didn't realise that they did to be honest and it's the first I'd heard about it yesterday. Could this sudden development have been the 'change' Breezer is referring to. Perhaps we got notified and have decided to act with an enquiry?

Villa and Palace announce financial difficulties and Levy is in like a shot. No mercy.

I'd prefer Martial too. However I am worried that United will just flat out refuse to deal with us and it could turn into a saga, meanwhile Zaha goes to Chelsea and every other one of our preferred options goes elsewhere, leaving us scampering around again. Best to get stuff resolved quickly.

Zaha has qualities we lack and I guess if Poch thinks he can make him even better than it's worth an A&C Spiderspunk shot.

What's all this Martial or Zaha or Grealish or whomever talk? Give me all the damn attackers. You people just lack vision!

Sorted. So what we will concede 50 goals a match? We'll score 75. This is real next step in football.

Yes, very interesting timing in response to them having not submitted their financials to Companies House. Always did wonder how they'd been splashing the cash about these last few years, because without looking at it closely it seemed like they were with signings like Benteke. Seems like they might have actually overspent on fees and wages

we're already set with attacking players. Need midfielders. Someone is going to bolt if we bring another attacking player in - is Zaha really better than what we have?

Would be a good signing

Also, I think he's home-grown as he's been involved with domestic academies during the relevant years

He's different to any player we have so the comparing himself with son/moura is downright stupid
