He is good, but we may have dodge a bullet with the bi annual African Cup of Nation tournament disrupting how many games he would play for us.

Good tenacious player though, I've enjoyed seeing him battle and lose out to Danny Rose

He was the only hope we had of denying Liverpool a historic treble next season.

He's good but not that good to be honest I think we can do better

The African Cup of Nations wasn't the reason for us not signing Zaha. Tottenham have signed Africans in the past and I'm 100 % sure will sign African players in the future.

I'm pretty sure there's no agreement in Wanyama's contract if Kenya qualified and Wanyama decided to go.

People should just stop using ACN as an excuse.

Best move for him, no doubt about it. After seeing how drawn out gossip for multiple transfer windows can basically dick away your career, i think he's smarter than that. He's set himself up to continue playing at a club that he's familiar with, but hasn't cut himself off from whatever the future may hold by sulking or anything. Good lad.

Interesting how players are happy to join clubs/sign new contracts with no manager in-place. This would've been unheard of a few years ago. I guess that given the vast majority of managers are out the door within 12 months it's pretty much irrelevant who's in charge whilst you sign up these days.

Our players are on contracts until the next fucking century only recently just signed too, doesnt stop anyone making shit up about our players, I'm pretty sure they can still keep making shit up about Zaha.

But it's a pain in the nuts for everyone else....

Shows a complete lack of ambition really. Steve Parish must have done a serious BS job on him!

Bullshit. There's nothing wrong with a player being content a club. If he's happy, good luck to him.

 

[bigspurs]

Bullshit, it's Crystal Palace FFS.

 

[Col_M]

That's him off my Christmas card list then

You're just coming across as bitter that he hasn't come to us.

 

[penfold_99]

pick him up cheap when place get relegated and he can walk for free.

Zaha > Sissoko but I don't think he performs consistently enough to necessarily have taken us to the 'next level', i.e. a title or further in the CL.

He is the sort of player who could have benefitted massively from the likes of Pochettino.

It's a bit odd he's signed now, straight after the Allardyce resignation, but I guess he's had his 'big' move, it didn't work and he'd rather stay settled.

Let's hope our players think the same as Zaha when the big boys come calling

Well err, yeah!

That's totally different. We're a big club in the Champs League that are going places. Palace are a small club that will be lucky to be in the Prem at the end of next season. I guess I'm just a bit miffed that we mostly fail to sign the players we want from other Prem sides. I think maybe that Levy is the problem sometimes. He's been such a tricky negotiator over the years, that other chairmen are hell- bent on stopping him signing their players. I bet Parish would have sold him to Liverpool or Man U if they were that interested.

I do not think he has the work ethic required to be successful at spurs which is a serious requirement.

It would not surprise me if we do not buy a so called wide man this summer and I am guessing that KGN has upped his game and work ethic which will see him play more often next season.

one thing with our current system the youth players know that a work ethic is needed so if they want to succeed they have to find that extra gear to go up to the level we now required. which leads me to believe that we have an exciting crop of youngsters coming through over the next three years which could see us as the Ajax of England but with the money to pay 40 -60 million for a player if needed.
