Is he any good? Why wouldn't bigger teams from around Europe be after him if he was on a free(ish)?

Say what you want, but this Palace situation brings back a whole bunch of Bale deja vu feelings, buying a bunch of players before selling the prize asset.

Nonsense. Reported as £80k a week, due to a free. HTF could Palace pay any player £170k a week?
I have seen the £170k/week in a few places.

Palace can afford it in lieu of a transfer fee - just think of them paying it out over 5 years. An extra £70k week is about £3.6M/year or about £18M over 5 years. Not a bad transfer fee...

We all got onions but to me he was a very promising AM that then stagnated then got into playing time and contract disputes which everyone moved past and then he refound some form in a more reserved CM/DM role which reignited contract disputes and thus he did not resign and left the club. I don't see him or Kouyate replacing Zaha, nor any of their other signings. Both are CM depth and good options to possibly replace Loftus-Cheek and Cabaye.

£8m signing on fee and £170k per week.
On paper that sounds like a good signing, but it's £53m over the course of a 5 year contract, and a squad that's gunna be mighty naffed off that one individual is earning 5 times their wage..........especially if he flops!

The Spurs part seems like extremely lazy journalism - him and Grealish don't even play the same position...?

No way Levy is paying what Parish wants, get real guys :ROFLMAO:

Parish as i remember was saying Zaha was 100m worth or something like season.

If that is true, I'd like to think the direct links to Chelsea are just guesswork and assumptions rather than solid intel that they are the desired club.

But that's a debate for another thread.....

Chelsea will be prepared to pay Palace what they want and offer Zaha top wages. This thread is academic now.

What do you think Schalke were paying him? How can they be possibly be paying him nearly 50% more than Zaha, their prized player?

Bare in mind Meyer isn't a game winner, neither a goal scorer nor a creator. He's a work horse.

Peter Ridsdale hasn't taken over at Palace!
