Transfer Rumour Zaha with poll

[tadpole]

It's crunch time. The fact that Palace haven't commented on the news may or may not be significant - but they could have killed the speculation stone dead by saying that the transfer request had been refused. Could it be that they're already in talks with Everton ? I'm by no means convinced yet, but getting a sense for the first time that this may actually be on.

Leicester and wolves have a very good team. Especially in midfield for both teams.

Leicester - talented players but just lost their best player.
Wolves - well we’ve seen what the Europa League does to teams.

Move along, nothing to see here, the know-it-all has spoken.

I don’t want to alarm people - but we’ve just gone odds on to sign Rojo.

As a comparison, Phil Jones is 12-1

You think the move is *less* likely after he hands in a transfer request?

Yes , I think the fact he felt the need to do this ( and footballers rarely do this nowadays) illustrates the determination of Palace to resist our overtures.
Again,the fact he signed the contract means Palace hold all the cards on this one.
He made his bed and it appears he now may have to lie in it.
Ultimately it’s Zaha who is acting dishonourably not Palace.

Could argue we lost our best player as well

Most fans would not want their club to keep a player that has handed in a formal transfer request. Once this is done there is no turning back. Unless you are Steven Gerrard.

Really going out on a limb here.

Don't want Zaha at all for the money being quoted...

This is the tweet Palace fans are going by, seems to be a total jarg account unfortunately.

Is this Harriot the vet fella ?

Our most influential possibly but our best player is still Digne. Wouldn’t swap him for any other left back in the league.

Apparently he is close friends with the chairman. Some sort of deal could have been mustered between them whereas Zaha wants to go but give another season to Palace and sign the contract to ensure Palace get a good wedge. Gentlemans agreement kind of thing.

I very much doubt ‘gentleman’s agreements’ exist in the avaricious world of modern football, and if they do they are generally referred to as ‘release clauses ‘. Which both parties seem to have neglected to insert in this case.
