The Penny Blue
Player Valuation: £8m
Better than Siggy or Richy or Picks?Easily.

Feels like posturing. Zaha knows of our interest, Palace have a possibly unsettled player, fans know we have money to spend, clubs now know we want shut of Tosun and McCarthy (both players now know this, if they didn't already).This.
But also, i just find it strange to have being willing to readily smash our transfer record (even though we knew £55m would get rejected) and then just walk away when it got turned down.

I fully expect we'll be back in for Zaha close to deadline day.
I don't really rate two of those as much as most blues do.Better than Siggy or Richy or Picks?
Cash + playersI'd agree. But we've issued a really weird, unnecessary statement if that's the case.
I don't think it's that weird. If we try to independently sell Tosun or McCarthy knowing they were a makeweight in Zaha deal reduces their value. It also suggests we have a take it or leave it stance on transfers to those trying to negotiate for higher prices.I'd agree. But we've issued a really weird, unnecessary statement if that's the case.
Is Zaha really even worth £50? Lets be honest here
I really wish I had some of the strong faith some have in the ones in charge , I don’t to be honest, rather a feeling of hoping to be wrong time and again. Pessimism ? Absolutely , from years of being a fan, others feel differently, I respect that.
I'd say yes. But he isn't worth 80m either. Honestly I'd probably say 50-60m is fair and if we actually did offer 55m plus Tosun and McCarthy we've way overpaid. But apparently we didn't actually do that.Is Zaha really even worth £50? Lets be honest here
