[Football] Zaha watch - *** The SEGW finally managed to escape***

[Heart and Soul]

Galatasaray?

Really??

Surely he had better offers than that.
Sounds like yet another contract decision he's going to regret.

Probably had better offers from Palace and elsewhere but if he wants to play for a really big club (because they certainly are), win titles and also compete in the CL, its a good choice.
Respect the bloke for making that choice, though I think he'll be back in a year or two.

It's a good opportunity for Palace to spend that £200k per week that they offered on some decent prospects instead. If they did that, they'd perhaps actually end up better off without WZ. As it is, we know they'll make an absolute mess of replacing him, yet still manage to survive.

They probably won’t spend it at all if the close season so far is anything to go by.

 

[GT49er]

It would appear he is not…

He looks really pleased .........................

 

[Marshy]

i for one am not be sad he wont be turning up for Palace this season

He was a slightly fading force, but still an excellent player, Palace are weaker without him

Same feelings here.

I had a Palace fan yesterday trying to convince me (and himself!) that they weren't worried about him going now as he was getting past it and that they would be better off with Eze and Olise in the team anyway. It was the most unconvincing argument ever. And then the Olise story broke too ......

 

[Whitley Bayster]

How long until he gets homesick. I mean he couldn't stand it in Manchester for more than a few months

He also always turned up against us

Cannot wait to sing the old Chirpy Chripy Cheep song when they come down....

"Where's your Zaha gone? (Where's your Zaha gone?)
Gala, tasa, ray"

Corrected for you

 

[Peppermint Tea]

Corrected for you

And later on a chorus of:

"Turkey, Turkey, cheap, cheap"








I'll get me coat....

 

[Motogull]

Cannot wait to sing the old Chirpy Chripy Cheep song when they come down....

"Where's your Zaha gone? (Where's your Zaha gone?)
Far, far away"

Where's your diver gone?

Anyone else a little sad?

No. Not remotely.

 

[Questions]

You can’t knock him for that surely.

 

[Motogull]

I imagine the lack of passion will be a disappointment to Wilf after the fervour of Selhurst Park and those 50 chaps in black jackets.

He never joshed about like that with the helmets up the '23 did he? How dare he!

 

[nicko31]

The Galatasaray manager Okan Buruk is married to a further Miss Turkey.

Wilf will fancy his chances …

 

[Acker79]

Where's your diver gone?

That would imply they've only ever had one.

 

[Springal]

Not that I believe he will last more than a year there - but €2M sign on fee and €4M wages a year. Nice work if you can get it

 

[Whitley Bayster]

Where's your diver gone?

No. Not remotely.

last night I heard the North Stand singing a song
Zaha, you diving little cheat cheat,
Palace woke up this morning and Wilf was gone
Ooh-he's, a diving little cheat cheat

Where's your diver gone..
Where's your diver gone...to Galastarary, to Galastarary

 

[Jesus Gul]

Good luck to the fellow. I actually quite like him (am I allowed to say that now?)

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

That's 77 Euros a week. That's £65K a week.

And he turned down £200 a week for that?

How strange.

 

[Betfair Bozo]

That's 77 Euros a week. That's £65K a week.

How strange.

He hasn't moved for money has he, I suppose we can afford him a little credit for that. I didn't think he'd leave Palace to go abroad as £200K per week is a very good reason not to uproot your family etc.

 

[Heart and Soul]

Good luck to the fellow. I actually quite like him (am I allowed to say that now?)

I think I would also quite like him if he didn't have that "mum!! I dropped my ice cream" face.
