Is this correct?

"It is worth noting that these restrictions don't apply to players under the age of 21 or "homegrown" talents, who are defined as players who have spent time at their current club or another in the same country for at least three years between the ages of 15 and 21."

It’s a big if, obviously, but if he signs we’d have something we don’t currently have; a player that demands opponents make a plan specifically for him.

 

Imagine any of the greedy seven playing Leicester now. Manager: ‘show Fatawu & Mavididi down the outside’. Er, that’s the team talk. 
 

Zaha spent a decade in the PL being double marked. It’d be the same for us, hopefully. We just need to add some creativity to take advantage of the space his presence would open up.

As much as I’d take Zaha I can’t see this happening.

He is a joint owner of AFC Croydon Athletic with Stormzy and will want to be around for that .

But surely Turkey is a lot further away than Leicester🤷🏻‍♂️

Well be getting used to force Palaces hand as per. We just aren't an attraction to players nowadays. 

 

Should be looking to unearth players ready to take the step up with points to prove. Old model served us well.

I'm not a fan of Zaha, I think his attitude is appalling and he flatters to deceive as a player.

 

He's a very selfish player. I don't think it's a coincidence that Palace have improved since he left and their strikers have started scoring. Mateta hasn't just suddenly become a great striker. Benteke used to get lots of stick, but when your winger rarely puts a cross in or trys to play you in, for his type of striker it's hard to score. Heard him likened to Mahrez earlier in the thread. They are nothing alike. Mahrez would produce magic, as can Zaha, but mahrez did it a hell of a lot more regularly. Also mahrez knew when to pass. Zaha holds on to the ball far to long. I know stats can't be looked at purely as the number and other factors are involved, but Zaha has 29 PL assists in 305 games, which I think is a poor return for a winger, mahrez has over 60 in 20 less games. Harvey Barnes is on 28 after about half the number of games. Looking at a few other wingers for similar type teams, like Dwight McNeil, he has 27 assists in 205 games, Eze already on 15 in just 112 games so tracking to be well ahead of Zaha. Even Alex Iwobi has as many PL assists as Zaha. I could go on with wingers who have more assists in less games or are tracking to be well ahead of Zaha by the time they reach his amount of games, including Gordon, Pedro Neto, Cole Palmer, Grealish, Solly March, Mitoma, Hudson-Odoi, Engala, Marcus Tavernier, Mbuemo, Ryan Sessegnon. Even the much maligned Ayoze Perez's numbers are at least similar to Zaha if they are over the same number of games. He obviously better than the like of Almiron but I'm not sure he worth the hassle for that.

 

He was Palaces main attacking outlet for nearly a decade and his numbers are poor. Add to that he's has a stinking attitude, I'd rather we steered clear. A few fancy stopovers don't make a great player, you have to have regular end product.

He's basically a god at Palace. I don't think that'd be the case if he was an arsehole who was crap at football.

 

Regardless, no idea if he's as good as he used to be.

Am I wrong to think a 9m€ loan fee is extremely high for a year of past his prime Zaha?

You’d be paying a salary of £3.5m I guess for him, so if they are covering the wages as suggested makes the spend for a year more like £4m, which feels decent value if he can perform. Moot point however as he’ll end up back in London

It around 7.7m, it will included his wages.

 

If he's on 80k a week that's around 4.5m, so the actual fee will be around 2-3m

In fairness, a 3 of Zaha, Mavididi, Fatwau behind Vardy would be decent. All three put their tackling and pressing shift in. Can imagine Mavididi being a nightmare for a holding midfielder if he sits just in behind him.

The issue is not just that he's past it, he's also got a huge ego which is never a good mix. He will expect to play regular minutes but if he performs like he has in Turkey then he will get benched and cause problems in the dressing room. Hopefully this doesnt happen.

Honestly, if he doesn't sign and we miss the opportunity to create an Alan Partridge Leicester song, it's going to be the biggest disappointment of the season.
