I agree he is overrated as ****. He is 26 and this is his best ever goal scoring season with a massive 10 goals. He's got 35 goals in 180 appearances for Palace. It will be a travesty if he goes for more than Mahrez. Zaha would just be another decent player if he played for us or Everton, but he plays for a club full of rubbish attacking players so he stand a out. But tbf to Zaha he does create chances and he is a good dribbler. So he does have certain qualities. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact he's the 'main' guy in the palace team means he gets attention and the hype around him. He's a brilliant dribbler, but his end product and assists aren't great. Maybe in a team with a decent attacking outlet he'd be able to get into higher numbers. I just don't rate him about 40m at most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Flair Posted 17 May 2019 Share Posted 17 May 2019 Zaha is decent, but not £80m decent. Seems to average around 15 a season in terms of goals and assists, often playing up front. Now I know he doesn't take set pieces which has to be factored in to goal contributions but neither does Tielemans and I honestly think that's the sort of returns Tielemans would provide from central midfield, let alone up front. Palace are a weird team, they seem to struggle yet at the same time should be quite handy and score a lot of goals so yes he might bring more goals at a bigger club but everything considered and his age creeping towards being 30 by the time he was half way through his next contract at another club i'd say his value isn't much more than £50m. I've just read that back and I sound like one of the estate agents off Homes Under The Hammer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jattdogg Posted 17 May 2019 Share Posted 17 May 2019 Zaha needs to stay put. He isn't good enough for the big clubs (to play week in, week out with their lofty expectations) and the bench will hurt his game. If he goes on a dry spell his career is done. At palace he will start every game. He is better off going to france then staying in the EPL. Having said that the price tag is a joke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stadt Posted 17 May 2019 Share Posted 17 May 2019 Zaha is a very good player, nobody’s going to match Palace’s valuation though and fair play, they don’t have to sell. However you can be very sure that if Zaha doesn’t get a move he’ll still work very hard and be content in the Palace dressing room without causing any disruption at all.

Someone needs sacking. I bet Sarri is absolutely raging. I bet he just wanted to take youth players/reserves but the higher ups put pressure on him. As if the yanks would know the difference.

If Gray put in anywhere near the level of performances as Zaha, there wouldn't be any question marks over him. In fact if we had Zaha as well as Tielemans I'd 100% back us to finish in the top six. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not a particularly bad insult? Gray needs to work on his end product, but there's talent there. Same with Zaha, he needs to work on his end product, undoubtedly has talent but is inconsistent which let's him down. We may be pushing at top 6 with Zaha and Tielemans, but that sets you back pushing 80-100mill. You'd hope we'd make the step up with that investment.

Well that's half the point though. Take out the games against us and he's pretty much putting up the same numbers as Marc Albrighton, only without the graft.

Out Foxed Posted 17 May 2019 Share Posted 17 May 2019 We should give them 40 mill, plus gray and slimani (and pay 30 per cent of his wages) only way I can see a deal being worth it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxxed Posted 17 May 2019 Share Posted 17 May 2019 100 million for Zaha. That's 8 million a goal and 4 million for an assist. Using the Zaha metric, our squad worth over half a billion pounds at 612 million. And since according to the Premier League the goal post, and not Kasper, assisted Vardy then one of our goal posts is worth four million. It's small change really. Your average submarine costs about 300 Wilfred Zaha goals. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
