If Palace officially reject the request we should walk away completely, I don’t like the fact we seem to be targeting players whose clubs have fundamentally said are not for sale. I hope we aren’t wasting our time. I have faith in Brands but this all feels more chaotic than usual it’s rattled me
 
I've never understood that thinking. Why would Palace suddenly take less? If the rumours are true that they have already gone against an agreement with Zaha about letting him leave if a decent offer comes in then why would a transfer request change thier stance?
Palace are in serious danger of a relegation battle if we get Zaha. They know this. They are negotiating for thier survival right now. Tbh i don't blame them either.

They must be destroyed though sadly. UTFT.
This transfer has to go thru ,if not they are going to have a very unhappy player in their ranks, which would be the last thing they would want.
 
Mate, I don't have a downer on Zouma and would have been delighted had he signed permanently this summer. But for two thirds of last season he wasn't all that you know. Quite often his positioning was awful and he gave the ball away quite a lot too. But he improved and had an excellent final third to the season.

But don't make him out to be this fantastic defender who we couldn't possibly survive without. It just isn't true.

I like him because he has different attributes to Mina and Keane and is a good foil for both. he also fits in well with the squad and by all accounts added a lot to the team morale. As I say, I'd love him to sign. But it's not the end of the world if he doesn't. He does need replacing in the squad though.

I don't think I disagree with a single word of that. Zouma fit well because he has attributes that Mina and Keane don't. That's not to say that there aren't other players who fit the bill, but my big issue on this is that we need a player who is ready to play in the first team straight away, otherwise we are instantly weaker in defence than where we left off at the end of last season. Does Tomori tick that box? I'm not sure he does. I'll be happily proven wrong
 

I think with all the young talent we have we need to get European football next season as it is the only way we will keep them and build

Walk away? You mean give up?

No mate, just no, take it all the way.
 

Lets just see what happens as there are lots of twists / turns / rumors / BS ahead ..... I'll admit the names / escalating fees in the last 24 hrs are not ideal but lets see what Brands / Silva actually pull off.

( There will be ample time to fume before the January Transfer Thread is posted ! )
