You bring him over to the prem and see how he gets on, oh wait that already happened and he didn’t cut it. Zahas proven prem quality that’s why prem players go for so much money...If you can cut it in the best league you have the inflated value 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He came to the Premier League at the age of 21, he didn't cut it, so he left to an inferior league for a few seasons. He came back eventually, and I think he did alright. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Invest in proven quality in YOUR own league... We’re not spending £70M+ on Zaha, let someone else waste their cash and watch his head drop when things don’t go his way (remember Man United?) ’Prem proven’ is a myth. KDB, Hazard, Eriksen, Salah, Kante, Mahrez, Bernardo Silva etc - none were ‘prem proven’ Edited 24 July 2019 by RoyFox 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Invest in proven quality in YOUR own league... Investing in proven quality in our own league isn't financially feasible. Manchester United have paid £55m for a right back with 42 senior appearances. We want £90m for a centre back that was outshone by Evans last season. Unless they have a release clause like Perez, it's terrible value for money. Zaha is reportedly a difficult character, would want obscene money, wouldn't come to Leicester, and his stats aren't that great for the £80m they are supposedly demanding. Can't quite believe you are disregarding the quality foreign acquisitions we have made since that diabolical summer. Ricardo (same league as Slimani), Ndidi and Tielemans are just three of those. Many of the others, like Maddison, hadn't played in the Premier League. You also believe that football managers sign players. Please tell me why the club pays Jon Rudkin, Lee Congerton, a head of technical scouting and dozens of scouts and recruitment staff if one man is selecting the players he recruits. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerbyshireFox Posted 24 July 2019 Share Posted 24 July 2019 9 hours ago, RoyFox said: Zaha is overrated for his dribbling, he’s basically Gray with more contribution, but not enough to warrant over £45m. Let another team overpay. So basically everything Demarai doesn’t do! Zaha carries that Palace side at times. I wouldn’t pay over £45m but that’s the market. He may be a bit of a twat, but he’s on a different planet compared to Gray!! If Gray put in half the performances Zaha did we’d be expecting over £45m if someone wanted to sign him!

Popular Post Dan LCFC Posted 25 July 2019 Popular Post Share Posted 25 July 2019 (edited) How are people still dismissing France. It's one of the consistently best places to buy players from and we should know that as much as anyone. Adapting to a league is less important than adapting to a team. When will people realise this?

Or Belgian international midfielders. In before anyone spouts about Ghezzal - he was largely deemed a flop over there as well. I'm not claiming Ligue 1 is as strong as the Premier League but it's laughable how many people write off foreign league when signing players, when the majority of the league is foreign and the majority of the top players in it were signed from Spain, France and Germany. Just reeks of falling for Sky rhetoric. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How could we get him? How could we turn his head? How could we get a place at the table? Maybe we could disrupt their transfer plans by offering their main target double the wages they are? That way we would either sign said player or gain some traction with future deals or the domino effect of signing. Imagine being so underhand 3 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
