NoIsn’t he basically Lucas Moura in terms of skill set?
Agree totallyWould love this signing. In my opinion we really need a powerful explosive forward player. The missing player imo.
Priorities though. I don't think one midfield signing is enough personally. With Clarke coming in there's plenty of attacking options now and there's no chance we're gonna get him for under £50m. It's going to be difficult finding game time for all these attacking players.Would love this signing. In my opinion we really need a powerful explosive forward player. The missing player imo.
He does. Nationality is irrelevent, you roughly need to have played in the country for three years before the age of 21. Hence the Algerian Bentaleb was homegrown, but Dier was foreign despite captaining England.Does Zaha count as home grown? Grew up here but plays for Ivory Coast? Not sure how that works.

Kane, Son, Lucas, Alli, Lamela, Clarke, Zaha is overkill imo, and that's assuming Eriksen plays deeper. Especially considering the calibre of most of those players. They're going to want to play every week.

My take on this is how many wingers do we need? If we get Zaha, then that'll be 3 this window alongside Sessegnon (noted he could also play LB but not yet imo) and Clarke. None of those are outstanding players (yet) and it'll be a fair amount of money for the lot of them (50 for Zaha?, 20+ for the sessegnon twins?, 8-15 for Clarke given bonuses. Why not spend that on one amazing winger like pepe if we're that desperate? Or we could probably get ziyech or neves for half that price. Remember that we already have son and Lucas, plus Lamela. I just think we could spend our somewhat limited resources a bit more wisely than by spunking up to 80m on three wingers. I'm actually happy with the three young blokes coming into the club, I just don't see the necessity of Zaha at this point in time given the other holes and transfers
But Zaha can’t finish like Lucas, so his breakaways aren’t as dangerous
Think Zaha's contract is until 2023, so whatever the fuck they want.If they want 60-70 for AWB, what are they gonna demand for Zaha? I don't see anyway we could afford it, even if Levy wanted to do it.
