Pie and a pint from The Pear Tree pub if it's still there would be nice?

Never been mate.

Bottle of pop and a bag of pickled onion monster munch would hit the spot.

What kind of pop? Let's deal

I'd say we have the means and capabilities to offer £80million for Zaha. Is he worth it? i'd say no but its market rates and it's only going to get worse every year. Look at Maguire (Solid centre half, but thats it) and he goes for £80million. The worlds gone mad - but in order to push on into the top 6 or 4 we have to take the gamble IMO and join the mad party.

So stop arsing about Everton and pay them the money and lets get it on

Yes I agree with this. A lot of fans in may were saying just get Gomes, Zouma and a striker in. Saying we don’t need another big overhaul.

But I think Brands, Moshiri abs Usmanov realise prices aren’t going down. So we may as well get it done this summer. So hopefully we will be buying just a couple of players next summer.

Most media outlets are reporting 8-10mill, the 3 mill figure came from a lad on twitter.

I find it odd that McCarthy is joining Palace considering the Zaha situation. It suggests to me that there is an understanding between the two clubs about Zaha.

But I'm buggered if I understand what it is.

Delay so there's no chance he plays Saturday...

I don't think it's fair to describe David Ornstein as just 'a lad on twitter', he's usually very good when it comes to London clubs.

Ill agree if its 3 mill we get for McCarthy, he has his chance.

The only downside of the deal is no resale value. He is ready, proven in PL and in his prime.

Don't worry as mad as these prices are going we'll be able to sell him at 32 for about 40m

Ryan Fraser

I can see this happening tbh

 

[CairnsToffee]

Good God No

Mate just accept it..... he will make us better and a player at his peak, not a maybe?

 

[JimmyK]

Ah fair kop

But you know what I mean lol .

My point being being if this is right why hasn't king reported anything about it seeing as it's his paper running it?

Haha made me look like a right gimp there lol

Haha no I do know what you mean mate, and I don't actually disagree with you at all about the latest Zaha bid. My point was more about people who believe certain stories (the ones they like) without question but not others (the ones they don't) without using the same caveats about the quality of the source. When the first Zaha bid was reported on Sky loads of people said no way we've bid for him it's all made up, but it wasn't. The figures or whatever were wrong, but they were right that we'd bid. We then even had people arguing that it wasn't true AFTER the club had put out a statement saying it was! I think you can either believe everything or taking everything with a pinch of salt, but when people start saying yeah that will be true but that won't, it gets a bit silly.

Should point out that i'm not suggesting you do this regularly, I don't remember who posts what on here - with some exceptions - you just happened to be the post I was replying to at the time.

Think Zaha will happen. Player is clearly keen on move, today will be hammering out the final fee / payment arrangements.

Reckon we’ll heavily overpay in the end, but if we overpay on a good player, that’s better than our previous strategy of overpaying on garbage.

The media know we’re talking, so are just getting mileage out of making up offers and counter offers, to fill column inches. They know nothing concrete.

On one hand I agree with this. On the other hand, business is business. McCarthy to Palace is good for all parties, so let it go through and no one cuts their nose off to spite their face.

If you were to say that the McCarthy price was lower than expected and that meant a lower price for Zaha by the same amount more or less, so the same net transfer of funds between the 2 clubs, then I'd be suspicious.

Anyone started a freeZaha hashtag on Twitter yet

Delph, overpaying for Mina, underselling our assets. He’s still an upgrade on Walsh obviously.

My point is nobody is perfect.

Does he under sell our assets or does he operate on a you don't take the Mick out of me I won't take the Mick out of you bases.

We have been getting players for very decent fees but we've also been selling for very reasonable fees as well for our dross.

Also in a world where slab head has just gone for 85m how you can say we over paid for mina?

And what's wrong with delph?

West Ham close to signing Ajeti

If we can get rid of Tosun, he’d be ideal to fight with Kean for starting position
