Transfer Rumour Wilifred Zaha - January Transfer Thread

[ForeverBlue92]

He drifts there anyway if you look at his goal against West Brom he was where a number 10 would be normally

Yep thats why for me we may aswell have James in the middle anyway and have that space out wide occupied by Wilf and his wand of a foot.

Gomes doesn't play in the position Zaha does....we've finally found a balanced team formation with the right players for each position...fitting Zaha into the team just because we have him would repeat the mistakes made by Koeman

I get what you say but there is always room for good players. It gets everyone on their toes wanting to play well and competition for places. We haven't had that so now we keep to keep adding quality

Last season Zaha wanted to leave and his first choice was Arsenal , I think that is generally accepted.
Arsenal could not match the asking price and we then came in with a bid which was rejected.
SKY sports then reported that we came in with a second bid this time involving James McCarthy and Tosun , but this was flatly denied by Everton and nothing further came of the Zaha deal and we signed Iwobi instead.

The fact that both McCarthy and Tosun did go to Palace afterwards convinces me that SKY were right and that we spoke to Palace informally about a swap deal but never formally made an offer.

At the time Zaha was very frustrated and upset about having to remain at Palace and I wonder what promises were made to get him back on side and back playing without sulking.

In these circumstances you almost always see the player move on the following year and I think this will happen and probably for a fee that was agreed between Palace and Zaha last summer.

This is a comment on the Zaha situation and it may have no relevance to Everton whatsoever.

yeah I'm aware but with 4-3-3 it's a bit different. we need two proper wingers to have an attacking midfield. Carlo knows that, maybe thats why he wants Zaha.

Don’t agree.

Rodriguez is out of position on the right.

Dom
Zaha Rodriguez Richarlison
Allan Doucoure​

Super 4231.

Who needs a defence with a front 4 like that.

If Sancho is worth £100m and far from the finished article then getting Wilf for £70m is nothing. He’s ready made and has 4 years min at the top level, prob far longer.

 

[N.S.N.O.]

Well yeah, personally that's Gordon's role for me. Get him as much game time as possible.

Yep I hope he gets game time, been very impressive so far

Ultimately this is an extremely iengthy and in depth discussion about a player we have neither bid for nor even been reliably associated with despite only 2weeks remaining of an extended transfer window.

it’s annoying.

Yeah, no way Sancho is worth that much!

 

[Zatara]

What if they actually don't want any of our surplus players

We offer Palace @Alan Whittle for Zaha instead?

 

[Alan Whittle]

We offer Palace @Alan Whittle for Zaha.
I was thinking @orly and @the sniderman would feel right at home there.,

Think Ajax will pull the plug on this deal - Stek plays for them now.

Even better deal.
