With VAR spotting all his penalty dives, surely his value at least halves?

Have you not listened to ANYTHING the Goon Squad have been saying ? He'll get LOADS more penalties as the unfair treatment and roughing up he gets is EXPOSED by VAR.
If the last few games I have watched using VAR is the norm, I predict loads of penalties to all teams. And most of them scored as encroachment and keepers feet off the line will make not scoring harder. Also be prepared to leave a 3 KO at past 5 o'clock !

Imagine if he goes on loan to Germany or somewhere. Their season is truly screwed before it has even started. Even if he stays he is going to be even more sulky than normal. Their best bet would have been to not be so greedy, let him go to Everton or whoever for a reasonable (not ridiculous) price and just get on with rebuilding during the window.
Their problem is it has been obvious for several seasons that Zaha makes them a one man team, and rather than doing anything abut that they have played to it. His ability has papered over the cracks of a failing club and now they are in massive do dos.
Shame. Massive shame.

And at the precise same time, Everton managed to contact Palace sufficiently to complete the sale of McCarthy.
Is that a fact?
Why is it that the McCarthy deal was completed on the 7th August and the Mail headlines claims they tried to contact the Palace Owners all day on deadline day 8th August
Seems you are as bad as your chairman and your statements can't be trusted!!

Silly old bat
Has he withdrawn his transfer request yet?

OK, I'll bite -because I genuinely don't know. Yeh, yeh, can't have been paying attention, but what is SEGW?
He's just changed the date on it to January 1st 2020.
Indeed. Easy's classic.
Matched by BETM (Bolly Eyed Turf Magnet) which I believe was Bevendean's work?

Thank you.
Oh well that's all sorted then, because it's become quite clear that Parish is a man of his word
Reluctantly agreed to revisit
In Palace terms, that means **** all.If I were Zaha (and agent) I'd be explaining things to Parish in real simple terms.
'I've given everything I can to this club, and I've been happy here and well paid, but we had an agreement - no, not in writing, so I won't be going to court, but we had an agreement, and you've gone against it. There are two choices for now going forward: 1) You change nothing, and I go through the motions. 2) We sign a new contract, identical to the existing one but with a release clause for January, and I give everything I can, as I always have. Whadya say ya beaky c***?
But who would Madrid add to make it fair on Palace? (ignoring the fact that PL clubs can't sign players now)

I'd have loved to have been a fly on the wall given Sky's snippet this morning:
Zaha has a personal 'beef' with Palace owner Steve Parish over remaining at Selhurst Park, manager Roy Hodgson admitted yesterday, and was given the day off training because of his mental state.
I think you need to be pretty batshit to get sent home for emotional reasons.

So, when are his boyhood heroes Munich making a bid ?

It's all quite funny and sad at the same time.
Lad has talent that's not going to be fully recognised at Palace. But Palace thought they'd play a blinder and get the fee they were demanding and now have missed out on a huge pay day AND have a player who is quite open about wanting to leave. Should he want to leave in January, would he play himself into the ground and potentially risk injury/fatigue which could jeopardise a potential move in January or does he just do what he needs to do, which may not be his full ability to avoid injury and fatigue in case a move does fruitate. Additionally, could this attitude that he's too good for the club rub off the wrong way on his team mates and cause an issue in the dressing room? I doubt it would be hugely disruptive, but always something to consider.
I'm not fond of the lad, but recognise he's quality. This could blow up in Palace's face, which is what will be hilarious for us. The sad thing is, this could be detrimental to Zaha's career as he's in his prime now and if he doesn't try to elevate himself to a higher level, he may never be able to have that opportunity.

True. We would love to have had a player like Zaha at the Albion. Come through the youth system and gets the crowd on their feet when he's got the ball. Bloomin' marvellous. He'd have been looked after better at the Albion - that's for sure.
