Metro first, then mirror and then Bristol post. I havent read other news sites. I know what you are saying and i get it.

If we're talking about the Zaha to Chelsea story, It was The Mirror first:

https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/wilfried-zaha-wants-chelsea-transfer-13023745

Then the Metro rehashing it with "The Mirror claim Zaha has set his sights on a switch to Stamford Bridge"

https://metro.co.uk/2018/08/02/wilfried-zaha-determined-push-chelsea-transfer-7792340/

Then the Bristol post with "The Mirror reports Crystal Palace star Wilfried Zaha has told his team mates he wants to quit the club and join Chelsea."

https://www.bristolpost.co.uk/sport/other-sport/wilfried-zaha-snub-tottenham-chelsea-1856743

It's all just come from one source, The Mirror. The Metro and Bristol Post don't care if it's true, they don't have to. They aren't claiming there's anything in it, they're just reporting on what The Mirror are saying.

Look at the end of the day, the story is out there and whether other sites are rehashing the same story is irrelevant as we dont know for sure unless the author confirms he is just effectively copying and pasting. The fact is, it has been reported by a news source that he "prefers a big money move" which to me indicates he is interested in making more money and there is nothing wrong with that but Spurs need players that look beyond the pay slip.

Anyone that will consider going to Chelsea instead of spurs at the moment clearly doesnt have the right attitude considering we finished above them. He also chose the easy and bitter option to represent ivory coast instead of fighting for a position for england. I don't think he will improve spurs.

His stats look ok for palace because they are a poor side. He can afford to have bad games for palace but not for spurs.
You're assuming that Spurs is a choice for him when there is no tangible evidence that Palace ever agreed a fee with us for him.

I kind of get the feeling Zaha is an option for us, but not our first choice. Which would explain why his name as been thrown around, but also why a couple of ITK are saying we're not in for him. I think there would be a bit more wind in the sails if we were.

Zaha not a first option? Tell me who's possible first option then, as I can only see very few around the world being 100% better than Zaha, ie Griezmann, Mbappe, Bale.

Wing forward. Dembele on loan an option? You are right - Is he better though? Do want a game influencer.

The Mirror is a bastion of journalistic integrity to be fair...

If there aren't any quotes, it's definitely bullshit.

No offence, but using the Bristol Post as evidence to support anything as "breaking" is utter bollocks.
My local newspaper's website runs articles on more UK orientated stuff than actual local stuff, and what's really funny is that when you look at the page properties for any link it's Portsmouth.co.uk

I live in Bedfordshire - 110 miles from Portsmouth.
More and more media sites are just aggregators, with no actual journalists of their own.

They all play for top 6 teams - Zaha plays for Palace.

Put Zaha on the wing in City's team and you'd see how good he is.

He will go Chelsea, people will say we didnt want him and he is awful.... this time next year it will be we should of got him when we had the chance

If they are letting Hazard go then they’ll have plenty of change from that deal.

I can't see us remotely paying the wages or the fee. This is a dead duck.
