Very underrated.

 

But expect him to go back to Palace.

Seems like any move to Palace is off

 

“Crystal Palace had looked into the possibility of re-signing Zaha and held talks with the Turkish club.”

 

That to me sounds like they asked about him but decided not to go ahead

Yep Just thinking this .. Zaha wouldn't be coming to sit on bench and Mav is one of our better players.. but feels like a square peg in round hole if so

Not everyone has to play at once. There should be bench time for everyone

I thought there was a no dickheads policy.

[coolhandfox]

Able to play down the middle as well as wide.

One of them where you love him if he’s your own. GERRRRRRIMINNNNNN

Would be a very good signing, hopefully we can get it done

Think op was joking

[moore_94]

Maybe Alan Nixon just got the wrong name when it came to an African winger who has some kind of link with Palace…

Does this mean I’m an ITK 🤔

Yeah not sure he’d be good for morale and you just know he won’t be happy outside London

No chance! 🤣

Yeah, we will shortly destroy you

Very exciting link anyone know how he got on in turkey last year?

[StriderHiryu]

 

He's inconsistent, he's not in his prime. But Wilf Zaha has magic in those laces. Just like Mahrez, in some games he will do nothing, lose the ball over and over and dribble down blind alleys. And just like Mahrez there will be games where he alone wins you the game.

 

Front 4 of Mavididi, Zaha and Fatawu with Vardy in front of them, and Winks and Ndidi behind? I think that team can stay up!

[kyleolly]

Copper likes a winger to play upfront I think Zaha is more than capable of that but that would mean 2 players upfront of a combined age of 68

Mavididi will never be a 10

Has played as a 9 for cooper before though…

10 goals and 5 assists in all comps in 20 starts

 

2,110 mins played = 23.4 90s

He could live in Lodnon (or just outside) and commute. Schmeichel commuted from Manchester during his time at Leicester.

 

And in terms of morale, I actually think the players would be excited. Everyone knows who Zaha is, and if him joining doesn't make you think you've got a chance, well we never had any chance to begin with.

 

Game changer of a signing for me.

On the fence / absolute whinge bag and getting on a bit. Loan though so limited risk

Played 80 odd games as CF for Palace as well.

Him and Mavididi will alternate as the number 9/LW

I can see it actually. Zaha at his age probably now more of a 9 now but can also help Mavididi along and obtain the kind of consistency that Zaha had before he left Palace.

 

Zaha also drawing fouls as a 9 in the age of over zealous VAR? Yes ****ing please.

 

Also, I've absolutely no reason whatsoever for thinking this, but I just think he and Cooper will get on like a house on fire.

Or he'd have started linking us to Louis Saha 

[K789]

Palace forum saying he's on 170k a week

This is our Barkley.
