Well, when we played them, Zaha caused us more problems than Sane caused them. Could ave been a one off, though, but I actually think there's really good player in Zaha.
Don't think the dippers would sell. Would we want a drink driver?Dwayne Dibley?
not sure zaha would get ahead of any of our current players....
if its a wide player where does that leave bernardo.....he doesn't get in the team now much.....a wide player would be someone else for him to battle with as he is never going to get ahead of David and KDB
I think we need to buy world class not another project...zaha would be just that.
It’s that thick cockney accent - sounds like a car salesman.
He’s a terrible mouth breather. He makes Carrick look normal.That's not a cockney accent.....it's a speech impediment
I’m not sure the rags can conceive of such a thing. They are so convinced they are the biggest and the best at everything. Everyone grows up dreaming of playing at the ‘theatre of dreams’ - they genuinely believe their own propaganda.

He plays in this country for a start;)
As long as there’s not a Henderson anywhere in sight.Harry at the back and a Harry up top.
It is what it is......That's not a cockney accent.....it's a speech impediment
Martial is a bogeyed waster. Head down and run, with the ball bouncing kindly for the most part.Wow in full agreement with this Rag. I rate Martial highly and he will be the one changing position.

I still have reservations about signing Alexis Sanchez. Main reason is that his best play seems to come from the same areas Martial plays in. I'd much rather Martial continue his development in the left-forward role if it were a choice between him playing and not. Some people have said we're going to play Sanchez on the right but he won't be coming here to play in a position he doesn't feel makes best use of his talents, and I'd hope we're not investing big money in a square peg for a round hole. I can't really recall either him or Martial being effective on the right, so I feel signing Alexis would not solve the problem on the right side and would potentially create an issue on the left side. If @Invictus can post a formation that makes best use of Sanchez, Martial, and Pogba, then I'll be excited. Or perhaps there are some games people can point to in which Sanchez has torn it up on the right hand side?
The wider question I have is to what extent we have planned this signing out from a squad development point of view, as opposed to the idea that we had already made plans for the summer and only seriously started considering this Sanchez possibility in recent days/weeks when word got out that City were equivocating? You'd imagine that if it's the latter, we're potentially rethinking our plans for the summer and beyond. That could turn out well. But I'd be forever curious about what Jose had planned for this summer if we hadn't had the chance to sign Sanchez.
The money is not really an issue for me, although there are clearly potential downsides to offering a 29 year old the highest salary in the league on a 4.5 year deal. In its simplest terms, Mikhi out and Sanchez is a clear improvement, but I'm not sure it will necessarily be the best long term move we could make.
Or any other player with a Z in their name. But not Zappacosta.From Sanchez to Zaha lol I really hope we can at least try our chances with Hazard this summer.
