Summer Transfer Window 2019

He was actually decent technically but injuries and loving a header makes us all forget that.

Yeah that’s what I mean , he was really good on the deck , good touch , could hold up the ball and play good passes and could finish

Why does he insist so much on rolling his studs on top of the ball any chance he gets to front a defender up. If he fidnt do that so much hed have a bit more about him. Cant believe thats never been coached out of him. Its the sort of thing youd tell kids off for trying to do.

His Soccer AM contract stipulates he must do it 20 times a game minimum.

I know what you mean, and there's a lot of merit in what you're saying, but i'm not sure I agree.

I just think Zaha is a great fit at Palace. He's given a lot of leeway as he's far and away their best player, so if he goes on a mad dribble 40 yards across the pitch that ends with him losing the ball it's fine, nobody minds and the team is set up to cover for him. That isn't going to be the case here. If he does that the crowd will get on his back and he'll be out of position putting us under pressure. Whether he can adapt to playing in an actual position rather than being given free licence to do what he wants while remaining as effective as he has been for Palace isn't a given for me.

I'm not completely against signing him, and you may well be right that he flourishes with better players etc, but i'm just not totally convinced personally. That being said, obviously my opinion doesn't matter, and if he's the one Silva and Brands want then I hope we can get it done.

Yeah this is a issue I imagine at Everton he'd be given less of a free role and we would have to see if he can adapt to that to get the best out of him. Also would have to see if he can create a partnership with digne. Something which I think was lacking when richarlison played on the left compared to when Bernard played there. As anything that takes away from dignes involvement in our team is a detriment to us.

There will always be concernes when it comes to bringing new starting players into the team especially for such a big amount. If Silva wants him though and brands is given it the okay I'd imagine they have a plan.

Honestlyif we get zaha and kean I believe we will have one of the best attacks in the leauge definitely top 5 in terms of attack.

But I'm a optimist

But you’re implying a few things. 1 he’s not worth 55m, 2 we’ve bought players in the past who look boss on YouTube who end up disappointing (I’m including our set piece taker) for the money we spend, and that it would be upsetting to know that the new regime makes the same errors. And I, for one, totally agree.

If he does sign I hope he’s boss, I just have the same bolasie feeling.

I could probably just about take us paying £50m for him mate, but l wouldn't be saying to myself that the club have done a boss bit of business there.

13 players that we need OUT in the next 10 days

Basically a copy of the Zaha video from earlier ... stay away from Zaha

The biggest difference I must admit is Zaha looks a bit more classy with his stuff, Bolaise always looks like he's about to fall over.

Bolasie looks like he will fall over
Zaha does fall over

 

[Hawhaw]

I wish we had a man of Action as our director of football.

Bolasie looks like he will fall over

And it doesn't take much persuasion most of the time either.

Everton now in 'final stages' of talks for €40m signing - Agent and player also keen - Sport Witness

There were mixed messages coming out of Italy at the weekend over Everton signing Moise Kean from Juventus. It’s a transfer rumour which has been running for a few weeks now, and whilst at first it may have felt unlikely, with a stay at Juventus and potential loan then seeming the obvious...

sportwitness.co.uk

Apparently Juve have now said they want to be given an option to match any acceptable offers for Kean we may receive in future.

1st option if you will...

 

[BlueToff]

Zaha is miles better than Bolasie.

Only similarity is they played for the same team.

 

[Death]

Didn't Graveson leave in January when we were well on course for champions league? And he was instrumental. Dire straights we were in then. What Moyes had to put up with. Imagine us letting that happen now.
