Crystal Palace have told Ivory Coast winger Wilfried Zaha, 27, he can leave Selhurst Park if an acceptable offer comes in, which is thought to be around £40m. 

 

 

 

Wonder if the club would see him as a option if they could shift Wilson and Shaqiri to cover most of the fee. 

Not much younger than the front three, and honestly I go through speels of thinking he's decent, other times bang average. But the fees dropped considerably 

£40m for Zaha is a steal IMO. Even if it’s only to avoid facing him twice a year. He’s one of a few players in the league who terrify me. Sane is another, and I’m glad he’s no longer a problem.

I agree, so much so that I find it hard to believe that the owl would let him leave for that. Unless the finances side really is that bad.

40 million for Zaha seems insanely cheap for a club to sell their absolute best player. He is incredibly important for them their real outlet and threat. Got to be bullshit hes what 27 id sign him.

I dunno, La FM Colombia sounds like a reliable source.

The only thing Zaha is good at is running fast, has great looking stats for "dribbling" just because he can run past people at speed.

 

Hardly ever scores, hardly ever assists.

 

Just a modern day Tony Daley.

 

He's been poor this year but his stats in previous years are decent.

Yeah, lots of fast players generally have that. It's just nonsense. It's not a reason to buy a player, in my view. Same with a lot of stats looked at in isolation.

He absolutely destroyed Trent a couple of seasons back and Milner last season. He’s a good footballer. He get double-teamed every game.

Zaha is really good, but relies hugely on his pace and strength. He's 27 now, how much longer can he keep those at elite levels?

 

Also he'll be at the AFCON at the same time as Mane and Salah won't he?

We are trying to field a whole AFCON team
