40m for Dacoure turned down??

Welcome scott dann

 

[Johnnytotal]

Can any younger players step up if we don't get anyone else in?

 

[Disgruntledgoat]

Surely Neres for 40mil is a better deal?

I prefer Neres… But that may be down to me watching more Ajax than Palace the last few years.

 

[Blueclouds]

If we are actually trying to spend 60-70mil on Zaha, 100% would prefer to spend that on getting that tubby Belgian back to Goodison

Haha

 

[Nymzee]

Sidibe and no other ins.

Can he adapt to the premiership?

Or Lozano, and I want us to get zaha. 80 million is obscene, he would be the jointsecond most expensive player ever in the premier league. That would put our highest spend on a player above every club in the league other than man utd. I do like zaha, think he would improve us no end but theres other options out there at far less 80million quid.

Depends if he settles in England or not - would rather an £80 mil Zaha than a £40 mil Klassaan - thats what alot of people dont realise when they say "surely x player from abroad is better".

Dont get me wrong I would rather we go abroad in most instances- however I genuinely believe in the current daft market Zaha is worth around £65 million - if we have to over pay by £15 million then so be it if the club really want him.

Think we got done by them for McCarthy though - £3 million upfront rising to 8.5 with add ons is poor.

Just hope we get Onyekuru, Besic and Bolasie out the door for fees before the windows close.

Lukaku leaving would also give us £5 million extra in the kitty.

I don't rate Zaha that highly, though. 80mil is crazy for a player that has never been more than good. The fact remains that nobody but Everton wants him.

Personally I don’t believe this bid of £70m plus two players. I think more realistically Palace have set a fee for Zaha (£80m) but they’ve also identified two of our players as their own targets.
I think CP will agree fees for McCarthy (£8m) and Tosun (£12m, just a guess). Then they can report they sold Zaha for their full asking price of £80m, but for Everton it would be more like £60m. I’m guessing CP would want the majority of that up front too.

I do agree with you but I believe the upfront fee to be around 40-45m of the 60m. I think the way you put it everyone is happy then personally.

40m for Dacoure turned down??

probably makes sense, i mean why would they accept a bid £2.5m higher when the fee is already so high?

 

[coollino]

Err few bits and pieces, off to Mexico tomorrow .

Nice, scouting trip or just for pleasure?

Agreed but nobody seems to bid against anybody anymore, or so it seems

 

[Bluewolf]

Yeah, but everyone with a brain could see that apart from Davy, they’re all rubbish players.

With brands he’s only made 1, maybe two mistakes max

Whoa!!! There cowboy! What mistakes has brands made?

 

[ossie_21]

Sidibe and no other ins.

Bold strategy Cotton, let’s see if it pays off for ‘em

 

[devo85]

BBC reporting were preparing another bid for Zaha

 

[Lanolin]

So you're believing sky over a bid that everton actually came out and denied? Interesting take

No I’m saying sky and the mail were the ones who reported a bid. Everton then denied that the bid was what they had claimed it was, but confirmed that we had made a bid. So they were right on the bid but wrong on the details. Again, They were the first ones reporting McCarthy is going to palace, which you seemingly believe is true, so are they reliable or not? You’re just confirming the original point really, that the Italian sources may well have been right about our interest in Kean but wrong about the details of the discussions.
