Bolton bid for Zaha

[beorhthelm]

Clearly you are not familiar with the process - all clubs do the same. We didn't own Selhurst, we only bought it after we had come out of admin. Zaha was 16 at the time and worth very little. St. Johns were paid in full.

The administrator did a fantastic job.

no not all clubs, some live within their means. yes, your administrator did do a good job for you, shame he f***ed so many others in your community doing it.

Do you think they might contact some of the people they owed money to and offer them their money, or will they spend it on more players they cant afford on 11000 gates?

Nah, we'll spend it on more journeyman players and knock St Johns again, happy now ?

You are Sir Nigel, easily the best Nigel on this board and I'd say the best argument in favour of palace fans on this site.

These threads are funny, with clueless supporters (myself included) talking about millions of pounds like it's pretend money. When a bid gets rejected by a club saying 'not for sale at any price' or 'offer isn't even close to true value', for all we know the the chairman could have tossed a coin.

20 hours and counting.

Bolton have gone back witha £7m bid.

This must be brilliantly unsettling for the squad this evening

 

[Mellotron]

Zaha's on his way.

Really, they are stupid if these don't sell him for 7m cos that's more than I value him. Probably worth 5m

 

[Red'n'Blue]

Not good news are end. Bid not accepted but looks like he wont be playing tonight. Expect him to go but not to Bolton.

I thought he wasn't going anywhere as he had a 5 year contract?

Palace can't afford to turn down 7million for one of their players.

How can is possibly be 'not good news' to get £7m+ for an unproven and inconsistent player - who is, however, clearly already better than the team he is playing in?

I've read that Stoke & Newcastle are also in the mix.

I never said that.

I think we will accept £7million.

Its not good news because i dont want him to go He is not our best player. Clyne is but i agree, he is prem quality.

 

[leigull]

Bolton are officially MENTAL to bid that amount for him

 

[Red'n'Blue]

I've read that Stoke & Newcastle are also in the mix.

I think he will go to Newcastle. If we accept a bid from Bolton, Newcastle will jump. I doubt Stoke will bid.

 

[albion534]

if he goes to bolton, be back in championship next year anyway

 

[Originunknown]

I would question the 7m price, although still young he's barely worth 5. Surely Palace have to cash in at that price.

I think we can hold out for a bit more. Any bids of £9million+ and we will accept.

 

[Mellotron]

If he's £7m, what on earth does that make Buckley worth?!

 

[portslade seagull]

Snatch there hands off at 7mill ,Zaha will only be unsettled for the rest of the season otherwise
