Bolton bid for Zaha

[Billy the Fish]

im sure your a nice guy but that is just sad ..

I agree, very sad indeed. I just can't help myself. The thought of 100s of sad surrey nigels crying into their cornflakes tomorrow morning after a heavy defeat and seeing their main overpriced asset (which they could've sold today) stretchered off gives me an erection.

We all have an evil side

 

[Glenn-Murray]

That does NOT sound like someone who's going nowhere. If he's going nowhere, he would say so.

Don't be so stupid. If someone bids £10m+ he may well be off, but we don't expect anyone to meet our valuation. Wilf is keeping his head down playing it properly while Parish is doing the talking.

I didn't think Abd was a fullback. Is he not a CB?

Somehow I think Wilf will enjoy himself against El Abd. Who did you put on him last time?

errr el abd completely took ben arfa out of the game... he's a tad better than zaha.

and he's played all across the defence this season due to injurys. our defence will most prob be calderon, dunk, greer, el abd

 

[Glenn-Murray]

Yes, we're biased, but Zaha isn't worth more than 5 Mil.

The people that matter (Palace and evidently Bolton) disagree with you.

 

[Mellotron]

I'm worried about the Zaha vs El-Abd match up, if he performs anything like he did against McAnuff we are in big trouble.

Yet if he performs like he did against Ben Arfa or Lambert, they're in big trouble.

Fair do's that's pretty funny, but we didnt cry when joniesta broke his leg (back soon yayyy) and I hope we are becoming a bit more than a one man team, If the rumoured amounts are true I would be snatching their hands off.

errr el abd completely took ben arfa out of the game... he's a tad better than zaha.

And yet got done by McAnuff - who isn't? These things work both ways. Zaha skinned Rafael, Fabio and Ji Sung Park time after time, they're a tad better than El Abd.

Parish sounds CERTAIN that the valuation won't be met. Zaha doesn't seem so keen to stay to me.

El-Abd also sorted out Lambert for a 3 match ban too.......just ask the Stains fans.

None of those are better defenders than Adam El-Abd. Better footballers and better athletes, but not better defenders.

Hahahaha, you're basing that on a tweet saying "look forward to the game"...

Muppet. The five year contract suggests he's up for the fight!

Rubbish, El-Abd is better than those three put together.

 

[Glenn-Murray]

...wow

 

[looney]

Zaha will go for 7 or 8 with add ons which will make it around 10 over time imo.

 

[Mellotron]

I wonder why he keeps telling fans to get off his back, yet is making NO commitments whatsoever to being a Palace player. His head doesn't seem right at all to me.

Yep, Bennett signed a new 5 year contract about...3 months before we agreed to sell him to Norwich? Don't be so naive. The 5 year contract is specifically to make sure you get as much money as possible for him, as the sale is fairly imminent!

and zaha was crap against the cardiff right back..

 

[leigull]

The worst thing for El-Abd would be to get booked early, it ruined Bridcutt in the first game and could really hamper El-Abd.

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

Injured last time we played you, he has played all over the pitch for us but certainly could struggle in terms of speed versus Zaha. All our options at full back are relatively slow.

 

[Lady Whistledown]

If the rumoured amounts are true I would be snatching their hands off.

Seems reasonable to me.

Can't see that Zaha is worth anything like £7million yet as he's nowhere near the finished product. But hell, if Bolton are prepared to pay it, then take the money and run.

Ah, the palace fan that talks sense. We can always rely on you for a decent debate.
