What makes them silly - you're not promoted and Zaha hasn't left so no-one has a clue about his value (value being what is paid for, not what you think he is worth).
So currently, they're not silly at all -unfortunately you are for calling it this early.
Of course, it doesn't mean he will play. Good on him if he does though.
As long as people don't call him an 'international' player if he doesn't play. If they do, they deserve a solid kicking for being a c*nt.
According to whom? The press (who will spout and old shite to fill column inches)? Parish? (Who regularly spouts bollocks...remember McCormack?)? Other Palace fans? (Who regularly spout shite)? Unfortunately you'll believe what we want to believe and we'll do the same.
