Whilst I can see that Zaha has a modicum of skill, it strikes me that the figures bandied around for him probably include at least a £2m premium for a name that makes him sound like he should be a top footballer, whereas a name like Buckley sounds as if he has a long career ahead of him serving Lord and Lady Featherstonehaugh.

I suspect that if he changed his name to Zava or Rava or Tadaah! then we might get Liverpool or Chelsea interested and could command a top price for him (not that I think we should sell him, but everyone has a price).

So what name would add the maximum value?

Zava adds £2.5m
Rava adds £1.5m
Tiltman deducts £2m

Are there any other premium names (not already taken by other players) that you suggest we should consider?
 




Isn't he named after that bloke who used to be on That's Life? The one that used to sit next to Esther Rantzen?

Why choose him? Why not the one who used to make records, under the name Ivor Biggun?

I've been thinking about this for hours. And I've decided we'd get ATLEAST £10million for him if his name was Davros Quick.

Barclays. That's sure to attract someone who wants to piss good money up the wall.

That's a great name. Reminds me of a kid at school who one day told everyone his real name was Roy Phoenix. The reaction was a mixture of ridicule and awe.
