Arsenal thread 2019/20

This is an interesting one.

Zaha is probably a £40m player. But Palace's survival almost entirely depends on him staying so he's worth £100m+ to them. On top of that 20% of the fee goes to United so Palace really need to sell him for a massive fee.

Then there's talk about gentleman's agreements, letting him leave, souring a relationship that's been so great for 5 years. He's 27 so this is realistically his last chance.

I think this one will end up in player strikes/angry chairmen venting in the press etc.

He'd be a really good signing for Arsenal.

It was both, he says he often woke up with songs in his head or dreamed them and kept a notepad by his bed to write them down before he forgot them.

Much obliged @domalino, I will take your ruling as gospel.......... :-)

That's what you call a low ball offer :))

I think it's an offer of what he's worth as a player, as opposed to what he's worth to Palace.

For some reason just because Steve Parish or someone has told the press they rate Zaha at £80m, people have started thinking he's worth that. He's a good winger who is about to turn 27 and gets 5-10 goals a season with an entire team built around him.

A lot of players are worth a lot less than clubs buy them for, its supply and demand like you say what a club values him by to there club plus clubs in premier are dont need to sell a much as they did a few years back because of the tv money.

Idris Elba, "I could have played for Arsenal, Canning Town under nines leading goal scorer"

Canning Town is a West Ham area plus he grew up in Hackney and East Ham, Hackney being a Spurs hot bed and East Ham being West Ham as well. Init fam.

Wilfred Zaha is a diving rag twat!

 

[I'm With Stupid]

Do Arsenal have an Italian chairman or something? I'm surprised they didn't offer to bring him on loan with Palace paying half the wages.

Did people learn nothing from 'Boaty McBoatface'? Never, ever, trust the public.
