Wilfried Zaha

[G Ron]

This guy is unplayable at times. Works hard, strong, quick, skilful, holds the ball up well and is a massive shithouser. What’s not to like?! Even at £35M -£40M I’d be a buyer.

he’s a fiery character and so my only concern would be his willingness to be a bit part player and sit on the bench a lot.

 

[Trippier the RB fantastic]

Would love Zaha at Spurs. Not sure
He'd give up regular footie to be a rotational player with us though.

He turns 30 this fall, I do wonder if he'd be willing to come off the bench to play for a winner for once.

He'd fancy himself to get lots of playing time with us...and in the CL under the lights...

Its a squad game now.

 

[chas vs dave]

I'm not sure on this one. He's a good player, but do we need this type of player?

especially with the world cup this year, ivory coast aren't in it, he could spend a lot of time with Conte on the training ground and be firing to go when PL kicks off again, a decent amount of our players are going to be tired after the WC so would be a really good option.

 

[Pekoni]

Ehh... depends on the price.

I'd argue we need 2 attackers. A Kulu alternative and a wildcard (Zaha would fit this). Kulu backup is more pressing.

 

[Hawtzy]

Zaha is great to watch in terms of dribbling, winning fouls etc but he is best from the left and we already have Son and Richarlison who are best suited there, we really need a right wing forward to rotate with Deki, which isn’t Zahas strongest position.

 

[ButchCassidy]

This move has big “win now” energy and I’m kind of here for it

 

[pippo]

Dont believe it

 

[Spursberg]

If Gil is going. This is a no brainer, homegrown and quality, Would be great business if price is right.

 

[SamR]

This is a surprising, but interesting link.
I’d definitely take him. Similar vibes to Saint-Maximin who destroyed City, but a much better Goal output.

Another player who can impact a game and PL proven.

What’s not to like?

 

[Metalhead]

Has there been some ITK or is this just people saying that he'd fit the system?

ITK from WLB.

 

[mil1lion]

Not even sure if he is HG either.

the info is in the OP

I do agree but surely we can make it work.
I doubt it’ll happen, can’t ever see us signing him

 

[longdistancespursfan]

if im wrong apologies but i think someone had diverted the thread on to dan james and that was the non hg player that was being talked about.

Anyway back to Zaha, i think he might be a very good signing for us.

 

[Ginola+Tonic]

Don’t get this link at all?
We already have Son and Richarlison who are left wing/ forwards.
Zaha plays in probably our strongest position in the squad.
