Zaha as good as Neymar

He is actually quite a good player when he stays on his feet. Shame he prefers to dive then show his ability. £40m though, you are off your nut. He's already failed miserably in the big time, anyone who wants to buy him will know that and his value will have declined accordingly. Good but not that good, oh and an ego about the size of the moon too.

Just shows how much you know about him, doesn't it? He hasn't got an ego at all. It's a totally unsubstantiated rumour that nobody at Palace has ever so much as hinted at.

We got £30m for Bolasie and Zaha is a better player. Plus, the market has become even more ridiculous since Yannick's sale. Swansea are quoting £50m for a soon-to-be 28 year old Gylfi Sigurdsson, at 24 years of age Zaha should fetch that price.

But no one has come calling at that price for the big headed ego that loves diving!

So you think a top 6 club would be put off a £40m-£50m price tag on a top class winger? Do you not watch the news full backs are trading clubs for those sums.

Spurs have £50m in their back pocket if they rated Zaha that much he would be their player already. The fact they are not coming back in and he is pulling on a palace shirt next season suggests Spurs (like us) do not think he is as good as you lot like to think he is.

Spurs have never in their history paid £40m for a player, yet alone £50m. They prefer to sign and develop younger players like Alli at a much lower cost.

But no one has come calling at that price for the big headed ego that loves diving!

Nobody has offered £50/60/70/80m for Dele Alli either. Does that mean he's not worth it?

Sorry Zaha has questionable ability. Granted he can be good on his day. But those days don't appear regular enough, instead he is but a big fish in a small pond...

He also has some questionable friends!

You're about two seasons behind on your impression of Zaha. He either scored or assisted a goal nearly every other game last season in the Premier League. He has added remarkable consistency to his game, which is one of the key reasons he has improved so much as a player in the last 18 months.

Dele Alli is already at a big club.... Haha isn't!

He's clearly no Neymar
He has defiantly improved over the past few years since returning from united though and is Palaces most attacking threat by some distance. Doesn't do himself favours falling like a fairy all the time. Not sure there is much more development to come out of him but you never know. In this stupidly inflated market he would fetch a decent price but can't see any of the top 6 paying it at the moment and none of the other clubs bar Everton would really be worth his while moving for.

9 assists and seven goals, not a bad tally - as I said, big fish in small pond.

You have only to see his histrionics on the pitch and his hissy fit because England didn't play him every game. Open your eyes. Actually don't just **** off back to your own site

We've already done this. Spurs tried to get him but were put off by our asking price. He has just signed a new contract.



He was brilliant last year. He managed 7 goals and 9 assists in 34 Premier League games for a woefully mismanaged side, and he's only getting better. I expect he'll reach 20 combined goals/assists comfortably and unfortunately will simply be too good for us to keep.

9 whole assists :rolleyes:

To be fair a lot of your fans thought Bolasie was better

There's a fair chance that he'll rip our fullback to pieces home and away next season. He's a constant menace to even top 7 club fullbacks.

Just saying, so he and their fans may well have the last laugh.

But he is a miserable bugger and loves simulation on the pitch. Something officials have policed well, leading to constant bleating as a cry wolf.

Of course Zaha is as good as Neymar. The Palace manager says so and Zaha is on record as referring to himself as the third best player in the world.

It's amazing how Crystal Palace keep hold of this world-class talent, I mean - we hear all the time of the world's top clubs entering a bidding war for Zaha. Strange that they haven't sold him to Real, PSG or Bayern. After all, Steve Parish said he wouldn't stand in the way if Real Madrid came in for Pardew. And talking of Real, didn't their previous manager Allardyce declare himself good enough to manage them?

It seems that Croydon should be twinned with La-La-Land.
