They’d want something insane for him. Like more than Bolasie insane.
Oh yeah not saying we'd should sign him

As you say, Bolasie was £28m pre Neymar/Mbappe, and that's without being as good as Zaha and the god like status that he has at Palace. They'd want 60 at least

But Zaha is a quality winger

Side note but can't be a coincidence that Zaha's taken it up a level since he binned England for Ivory Coast, lack of media expectations letting him develop at his own rate?
 
Rooney has been transformed since moving to a deeper role in the middle of the park, and you want to stick him on the left wing again?

I fully expect Rooney to play where he wants in this formation and Tosun to play off DCL almost like a front 2 with Iceland and Rooney pulling the strings from behind, Coleman and Baines will provide the width.
 

Why in the world are people blowing their beans about N’Zonzi? He’s not what we need at all. We need a Fabregas type to play next to Gana, not another David Batty. That would give up 6. Unless everyone’s looking forward to hoofs to the front 3 bypassing the midfield.

Nzonzi actually can make a forward pass and has a belter of a strike on him. He isn't necessarily a creative midfielder but he offers alot more than what Schnerderlin currently does. Our defence isnt good enough to just have Gana protecting it people need to realise that.

Our best hope of a creative player is a Mahrez type winger who can drift in central. We also have a £45 million No10 who should be offering us that creativity also...

Exactly. He's decent enough but just not needed.

Sam don’t do technique. He’d have an heart attack if someone tried to play it on the deck

Literally fill the midfield with workhorses, the ones who can defend one minute then be ready to pick up the knock downs from the hoofs.

It’s de newEv, innit
 
Don’t really want N’Zonzi but if the club do, get it done quick and in time for the derby so he can at least add some bite. Don’t want us to be messing about for 3 weeks like we did in the summer. Get them in quick and then Sam can add an Okocha style last day loan too.

Everytime ive watched Nzonzi he controls the game, we spunked 45m on a creative player, now we need to give him something to hit.

I want the actual Okocha. Is that bad?
