Wish we would swerve buying players from the prem, prices are obscene

You are right, but you are buying proven players who have done it in the premier league and that comes at a premium with regard to price. For what it’s worth I don’t want us to be shelling out 60m on Zaha.

If you said we could have Zaha for 30 Million I'd obviously choose him over Malcolm right now because he's got experience in the Premier League and I'm willing to bet we could still sell him on for a profit in a few years time, so it's a future investment as well as someone we can benefit from right now. Like I've said, I rate Zaha, I just don't think he represents value for money when compared to Malcolm

If it's 30 for Malcolm and 60 for Zaha, then I'll go for Malcolm because there's a greater upside to signing the younger player, especially if we can develop him and then sell him for a decent profit

Lets just sign both

100%. I think this Zaha talk is pure fiction, and even it it has legs, it isn't the sort of signing I want us to make if we were to spend such money.

It’s BS mate it’s all a ploy to get arsenal to pay up, all clubs do it

But what if Zaha is the better player?

Right now he is the better player, but we don't know how good Malcolm is going to be

There are positives and negatives that come with signing either of them, and after weighing them all up I'm leaning towards Malcolm

Again, I feel I MUST stress that I think Zaha is a good player, I just think he doesn't really represent value for money to us at this current juncture in time, whereas Malcolm (Though obviously more of a gamble) does

It's Everton or nothing for Zaha I reckon.

This is such a weird one.

Us and whose money? lol

This is fair. I'd almost rather Pepe than Zaha (who'd be similar is prices).

 

[billyblue80]

We’re leaving it late ish lol

Tick tock. We need cover at CB, Mina isn't reliable injuries wise. Also up front we are desperate for a striker who can score 15 + goals. Zaha might be able to play there but he isn't that. Then we have Delph currently replacing Gana which has weakened us. We need someone there too. So much to do. I am not liking the way this is panning out.

 

[larrygobfiend]

Ok. I'm offended by it. Must be the snowflake in me.

It's just footy, mate. Lighten up.

It could be,maybe not,but i dont think Arsenal will have or want to pay as much as is reported

 

[Darth Toffeeman]

Usmanov and whose money? lol

 

[ArtetaMagic]

I'm not going to lie, if we signed zaha and kean it would excite me a lot.

 

[Yarrgh]

That seems to be the saying of the day so far

I don't claim originality... but I do expect it to be my last opportunity for a long while to trot that line out.

 

[mikel_88]

Hopefully see a few in when gana goes still have no idea whats going on with gbamin ect

 

[GlosBlue]

Seen links to Mario Lemina now. Not really watched Southampton much. Is he any good?
