Oh come on, DLBH, a more generous spirit would see that the wee sojourn at The Swamp has clearly added an additional dimension to his game! Well, I suppose that's how the RDAHMeedya would see it!

That's twice I've watched zaha in the past few days and both times he has shown himself to be a cheating fucking prick.
sums it up rather nicely...may I also add he's an utterly loathsome turd and I hope we never go anywhere near the fanny.

Bear in mind we have only one foreign spot left in the team in UCL. We are signing 2 players this January .. one is Inigo Martinez because he can play CB and LB too. So when it comes to the forward player .. either someone leaves or hes homegown and will be last choice forward!

No announcements at all! Just common sense! Check my reply to his thread! The only reason this guy doesnt sign is that he refuse to be 4th choice!

He really is quick.
That's all.
We have 17 players on foreign spots.
4 of those who could be replaced are Kompany, Yaya, Mendy or Muric (3rd keeper).
How do you mean "one spot left"?

Sinclair analogy doesn't apply.
1) Pep. Pep is not Bobby, he doesn't have players forced on him by a DoF who he practically hates as a person, he has different rotation policy, different system, and a remarkable coaching team with himself and coaches included. If Pep does sign him, it will be because he sees a potential squad player in him, has the will to play him, and most likely an idea of what coaching is needed from the club to adapt and improve areas of his game.
2) As would be expected Zaha has made improvements from season to season, but also across both his spells at Palace he has shown the same skill-set that makes him a promising target, and has shown his attributes for a longer period of time than Sinclair ever had before we signed him (Or since fwiw).
3) They are very different players. All they have in common is that they are English and play on the wing.
4) The step-up in the quality around him will be much higher than it was for Sinclair. Firstly in the higher quality of our current squad than under Mancini (with all respect to his legend), and secondly in the lower quality of the Crystal Palace side now than the Swans side of that season.
Zaha would count as a home grown player so don't have to worry about foreign spots. There is also room for a couple foreign signings if needed as St Pauli points out.

What I think of this link aside, suggesting a winger isn't good enough because they were outdone by Walker is unfair no? I mean he's an absolutely brilliant defender to the extent it's no crime to be outdone by him, particularly in the 1 on 1 situations he often found himself in. The only game Walker's struggled (and still did ok) in defensively wass the game at home vs Shakthar and that was because it was 2 on 1 even 3 on 1 at times.
Pep loves talented wingers. This MIGHT become something come summer.

Though Zaha, undoubtedly, is outstanding one-on-one, he'll be limited with the way teams set up against us.

Zaha would have three defenders on him, all lining up, so when he beats the first, if he beats the first, there's still No2 and No3 to beat. He hasn't got the pace of Leroy, and he doesn't appear to have the poacher's characteristics that Sterling has been demonstrating so well this season. I am not convinced he would shine in a team like ours. He looks good 'cos he's at Palace.

Zaha is a fantastic talent and has improved his defensive duties to point he is better than most of our midfielders , but he has terrible team work rarely passing to team mates and is poor in front of goal , he is association trained but it may well be too late in the day to train him to the next level

How do you mean "one spot left"?
Ederson .. Bravo ..
Mendy .. Mangala .. Otamendi .. Kompany . Danilo
Fernandinho .. Yaya ..
Silva .. De Bruyne .. Bernardo ..Gundogan ..
Sane .. Jesus (in UCL) .. Aguero
16 foreign spots ..
Muric is homegrown .. hes been here since 2015 .. spent 2 years at the club while hes under 21 so hes b listed untill next season he"ll be officiall a homegrown player.
Thats 1 spot left for 2 more signings .. that spot was left for Sanchez on the last day of the transfer window .. so Mangala is probably leaving since hes linked with Lyon and Inter!

Cheers.
On uefa.com Muric is listed as A list player, taking the 17th spot. No "free spot" on there.
On transfermarkt.com Muric joined City officially Jan 2016, maybe that's why he cannot be on B list.
Anyway, I suppose he won't be on the next CL squad list. IMO.
Nothing to do with Zaha of course. Sorry.
