Summer Transfer Window 2019

[Disgruntledgoat]

I agree. But Brands couldn't even get that over the line.

Enlighten me Dave, why would Palace take that deal when they could have more money to spend on players they actually want by selling Zaha to another club?

Is this a compliment or a dig at brands. I’m not so sure

Good old Wikipedia eh!

So in laymen’s terms,

1 goal in every 5.5 games

1 assist in every 5.2 games

He sounds just the answer! lol

Last period at Palace from 2015 when he went back.

But anyway, away from dave's nonsense, can we just take a moment to reflect on arguably one of the top 2 or 3 U18 players in the world following Everton and 3 of our players on social media?

Of course there's always the chance he's just read the same news reports we all have, and gone looking cos he'd never heard of us lol

 

[Alan Whittle]

...we have players to throw in.

Digne, Richarlison, Gomez and £50m would do it.

 

[davek]

I could see Zaha being just as bad as Walcott in this Everton team.

How? They are completely disimmilar: one is a tram player and scores, the other isn't/doesn't.

Any updates today @Eggs?

It's not even THAT common there tbh. Moreso than here probably, but still rare. Too many moving parts.

I know a player or two went to Celts Vigo from Valencia as part of the Gomez transfer. Think there’s been quite a few transfers with players, certainly going on loan, as part of a transfer. Definitely not common though.

 

[Jamo Martinez]

Think there is a rule that Brazilian players cant transfer outside of Brazil/South America until they turn 18 which in his case appears to be 19th January

Think there's a FIFA rule that under 18s can't leave for another country unless their parents are going to the same country

Because they'd get players in who were good enough FOR THEM and have cash to bank.

He's a far better team player than Walcott. How would he flounder?

He just strikes me as the kind of player who would try to dazzle every time he was on the ball, to compensate for not being the centre of attention anymore. Not unlike Lookman.

I think he has more interest in his brand than helping a team succeed. Not unlike “Bo14sie”.

Above all else, we could do a lot more - if you believe even some of the rumoured players linked and their valuations - with anything between £40m-£80m than sign a 27yo player who has already blown one chance at moving out of his small pond.

 

[BirkenheadBlue]

4 players?

Your responses get more bizarre by the second.

Focus.

£40m plus Bolasie (1), McCarthy (2) AND Niasse/Tosun (3 assuming "/" is or) for Zaha (4)

yeah, 4.

This feller ^^^ knows how good Zaha is...he watches him, unlike others on this thread.

We might see more of this by clubs in general, Watford bought João Pedro for a snip, and he is already been touted as a player they can make x10 profit on.

Rodrygo got a move for 40 million just from being from the same club as Pele, Robinho and Neymar.

We need a striker now, but if we have a chance to buy the Brazil under 17 captain, Reinier we need to do it. Before he goes to Ajax or Porto and costs 80 to 100 million.

We see you.

If we signed him EVERY Evertonian would drool at what this lad can do.
