Surely Palace can't... 16/17

[ThePaddy]

Funniest thing about what you've written is that basically, you've admitted Knockaert is a better player than Zaha Wonder if you'd have admitted that a few hours ago before he was linked away

Knockeart would be solid replacement as I think he'd make it in the PL, but Zaha is definitely the superior player. Hence why we've rejected a bid of £15m for him, while Bloom would be biting our hands off if we bid that for Knockaert.

To add my two penneth and for fear off being left out ..... Brighton is a City for gawds sake !

Thankfully Tony won't sell Knockaert to palace - best think of another replacement or bring through one of your U23s.

Why is he worst ? He scores and makes more goals. Ok he has not done it in the premiership, but to be fair nor has Zaha, his stats are awful for a player that is worth 15 million. One thin I can't understand is my Palace friends are all convinced that you are going down with Pardew in charge, whilst you have the faith, which I feel is to be admired to be honest as it looks like most of your fans on a message site I saw on Sunday predicted a relegation as well.

You keep mentioning your palace mates don't you ? Go on admit it you're making it up .

Never say never.

Everybody has their price.

If £13m is burning a hole in their pockets, £13m will be offered elsewhere.

Tony will get offers for him .

However, this is nothing more than a very obvious case of palace fans trying to deflect the thread and move commentary away from Zaha.

Think they are crazy to turn down £15M for him, really surprised Spurs want him.

This. What the hell has he done to command a £15m price tag and how would he get into the Spurs team? It makes very little sense.

But it is funny.

Funs over mate, we've rejected the bid.

And Sheebo, I'm still waiting. Where did I say Knockaert is better than Zaha?

Young, English, 'flair' (in the English sense of the word), Champions League commitments, £200m cash windfall.


A better point would be:-

Why are English players so shitehouse, the likes of Zahahaha can be valued at £15+m?

You're right, Knockaert is better than Zaha, massively. Wasn't aware there was any real debate on that.

If you asked most neutrals I'm sure the opinion would be 80/20% in favour of Zaha.

I'm honestly not sure where you'd find those 20%. Knockaert is a great Championship player, but he's not even close to as good as Wilf was at age 19.

 

[spence]

Zaha's head will be turned now just before a big game. Marvelous news. He wants out and now they have a very unhappy Zaha at the club

Unfortunately for you, 'Wilf' isn't anywhere near as good as he was when he was nineteen either. (It's amusing for the rest of us though.)

He was our player of the year but do carry on

I'm not sure that proves anything when clubs have a bad season. When we narrowly escaped relegation from League One in 2009, Andy Whing was our POTY. And in 2015 it was Calderon. They didn't win because of their skills with a ball.

If a winger wins POTY it's normally because of there skill at taking on defenders.

Did we have a bad season though? 5th in Mid December. And an FA Cup Final, 10 mins away from winning it. The second half to season was poor no doubt but injuries hit us hard, but we stayed up and so that's mission accomplished.
