Winifred Zahaha £4M?

[Garage_Doors]

Does being on the pitch and upright when the goal went in count as an assist ?

If said player supplied the ball for the scorer,then yes.

Bruno put in a much better performance on Friday than I've ever seen Zaha give. 2 assists and could have been more, class on the ball, tricks and flicks but all with a purpose and a result. His first assist was amazing skill and close control to make a twat out the defender, before picking the perfect ball for CMS to slot home. His second, sublime vision and a perfect diagonal through ball from the half way line, that was expertly finished by Buckley.

And he's a right back.

Bruno is brilliant, but he's 31 and not going to get better, whereas Zaha is only 19. Sure he's no Rooney or Owen, but he could still go on to be an excellent player. And thanks to this thread, it's now a dead cert that he will ruin our day in December.

Oh Zaha is worth more than Bruno because of age for sure. But in current talent, you could easily make a case for Bruno being just as effective going forward as Zaha, even though he is a fullback. Even Buckley has a goal now, despite him only making his first start. Zaha has potential, but I still haven't seen much actual product yet, just lots of tricks and flicks. I didn't see the Charlton Palace game on Friday though, however there wasn't much of him in the highlights.

3 assists in 2 games for Bruno now

Oh I see, yes indeed.

Even Buckley has a goal now, despite him only making his first start. Zaha has potential, but I still haven't seen much actual product yet, just lots of tricks and flicks.

I thought Buckley played better than Zaha last season (for some perverse reason I saw Zaha play quite a bit last season), but I assume Zaha will be better in the future. At the moment though his aim is to get a penalty. An assist or goal is secondary.

I dont get the whole has he scored has he got an assist thing, watching him Friday night the kid has bags of class and skill. The amount of killer balls he put in the box he could have had a handful of assists they just need a player to get on the end of it.

I hate Palace but imo Zaha looks a class player, but as stated he needs to move soon or he will stagnate in that squad

I think he is a very good player, one who is going to be playing for a decent Premiership team, but over rated at the moment. With the scoring thing, he is their leading shot taker he has taken 12 shots in all competitions and scored none Tom Ince has taken 19 shots and scored 5. The assist thing is to do with the players around him, but is important, as someone said would Ronaldo be as highly thought of if he wasn't scoring? We also just have to look at Craig Noone, he can beat players with ease at this level and excite the crowd (sounds like Zaha to me, although Zaha is better and younger), but we all believe he was won't miss him that much because of the end product.

 

[leigull]

Now Tom Ince is a player worthy of being touted around for big money. So much better than Zaha.

Ince - 38 games for Blackpool - 11 goals
Zaha - 89 games for Palace - 7 goals

 

[Falkor]

I'm amazed Liverpool let ince go

 

[Aseros]

Wigan apparently interested in Zaha, but they don't want to pay £6 million for him.

 

[OSRGull]

I've said it once and I'll say it again, Nathan Redmond is better than Zaha.

 

[Max Paper]

Steve Parrish on talksport right now talking bollocks about him and palace

Is it still there or on loan?

Guy is unbelievable

 

[albionite]

Funny listening to Steve Parrish on talksport saying 'you know' after every sentence.

Yeah, the guy comes across like a right scummer.

You lot are going to love what Wilf did today.

Let me guess, dived for a pen and will later be sold to Wigan for £3m? I'm right aren't I?

This is the bit where you're meant to explain why Zaha is different to every single previous "amazing" academy product who all went to lower Prem teams for low fees.

Which ones are those?

Can only think of Moses, who was sold for a pitiful £3m due to our administration.

Edit: Love my avatar. Mockery of the socially inept is very classy. You lot were probably used to it at school

 

[Triggaaar]

Sounds like Zaha had a good game today, and while he looked for the penalty (as that's his role), I'm not sure the ref was wrong this time.
