Agreed. Not great. Not honourable. While any bid contains player exchange the selling club have got to want the incoming players. Zaha has been badly advised. No release clause. Yeah, go at £80m. All cash. All up front. Any going to pay that? We'll see.
A badly handled mess with no one; Palace, Wilf, Wilf's agent's or Arsenal coming out well in this. It also seems to have been forgotten (from only the beginning of the window) that Wilf wanted to go to play in the Champions League. Certainly more of a chance at Everton eventually. Just not yet. Everton have done nothing wrong in this whole sorry farrago.
