Zaha to me reads as a win-now move. And when put into context with some of our other business and our manager, it makes sense. We have done some good future-proofing in defense/midfield, so maybe we look at some longer-term options in attack come next summer, if Gil and Parrott don’t look like realistic options to improve us.

Be a quality signing but given his age it's hard to see us paying Bissouma money (30-35m) for him but hard to see Palace accepting less than that given how important he is to their team and club overall.
Hopefully I'm wrong as he would be some option off the bench in big games / lad to run at low blocks.

30m would be a absolute bargain . The way prices are going up for bang average players .

would he be happy to come here ? Basically plays similar role to Richarlison and son . Certainly wouldn’t be main man

This might be his last chance at a big move and to play champions league football - and he'd get to stay in London as a bonus.

He'd also probably back himself to get into the starting 11

Could this be a Victor Moses wing back style project? He was reluctant when Van Gaal wanted to do it but maybe the pieces fit better this time.

Zaha just gives us something totally different up there again

The attacking options we would have would be the best in the league.

If this can happen relatively cheaply it makes so much sense.

Deki is great but sometimes he gets played out of games, Chelsea eg. If we can then bring on a completely different type of VERY potent threat it is such a weapon

I genuinely can’t envisage him not doing well here. I think he’s far too good at dribbling to at minimum offer a serious impact sub threat. He’s got enough ability to play on the right too and with Kanes passing and his pace I think he could chip in with a few goals. If he’s not too expensive I think it’s a no brainier and with him knowing and performing well in the league he’ll immediately improve our options in attack.

Vieira really singing his praises in his press conference today about his influence on and off the field and how important Zaha is to Palace.
Didn’t sound like someone remotely close to leaving

Better than the other mooted options but it won't happen.

Feel like 10/10 window would be Zaha, Malinovskyi in on loan as well as proper competition for Dier with Gil heading out on loan and the best deals we can get for Tanganga, Reguilon and Winks.

I can't get behind this. He has made himself look like a child so many times. I don't think he's the right character for our squad.

Can't see Palace selling him for £30m, think it would have to be £35m at a minimum.

Given what the characters in the squad have won - maybe its time for new characters...

(I am not a fan of Zaha, but I can understand why Spur might be looking at him this season.)

The only measure that should be applied is between Zaha and Gil.

2 years from Wilf and Gil coming through in the meantime.
