[Football] The "Where will Zaha go?" Summer 2018 thread

[lawros left foot]

I searched for "best players outside top 6" because, you know, that was the question being asked.

The first result has Zaha as 3rd best, the second result has Zaha at 1st, the third result has Zaha at 1st, etc.

What did you search on, BBS?

 

[dadams2k11]

Yep, we get it. We've established earlier in the thread, that your new keeper, is excellent business, whilst all of our signings are 'untested' in the PL, therefore a risk.

Correct .

I keep hearing how good this GK is and how he was the 3rd best keeper in Spain but who as played more games in goal this preseason? Poppadom Hands or the Non English speaker?

What ever happened to the other World Class Keeper you bought? Mandanda wasn't it? He regretted his move and didnt want to come back to you for preseason last year iirc?

 

[Mellotron]

You must know something that I don't. If Zaha and Mahrez weren't the best two players outside the top 6 last season, who was?

Please do. I've looked back through the thread and I simply can't see it.

Was a tough find, admittedly.

And yes, to above, I think Ballon D'or nominee and oft-quoted as one of the most skilful players on the planet in his prime, Vicente might have something to say about that.

The goon squad were CREAMING themselves over the Mandanda signing at the time too. Does anyone see a pattern here?

 

[lawros left foot]

He's the best player ever to play for either of our clubs. When he leaves it'll be utterly tragic, but at least I'll have that

Mark Lawrenson, 5 First Division titles, 1 European Cup, 1 FA Cup, 3 League Cups.

I rest my case

Oh, and a first team regular in what was the best team in Europe, if not the World, at the time. Up against a player who couldn’t hack it at Manchester United, and Cardiff City.

Ha forgot about Lawro. So Lawro and Vicente, any more for any more?

 

[Joey Jo Jo Jr. Shabadoo]

Vicente is without doubt that player... But carry on.

2012-2013 Championship Play-Off winner and 2015-16 FA Cup Runner up is better than winning La Liga, UEFA Cup, UEFA Super Cup and Copa del Ray. And lets not mention a player who went on to win 5 league titles, 3 League Cups, 1 FA Cup and a European Cup after leaving us.

Ok you're right. He should carry on. It's shooting fish in a barrel but it's bloody funny.

Honestly, it's so much fun. Next he'll explain that he once again misspoke about the best player thing, and that no, it's the best player with a Z in his name, AHHH gutted you BHA are all idiots etc.

Still Vicente (Rodriguez)

Izquierdo.

 

[Mellotron]

Still Vicente (Rodriguez)

 

[BBassic]

Mahrez

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Thanks for pointing this out. He was booked for simulation in this game when clearly fouled. It was a stonewall pen.

The referee's decision is final. Cheat.

 

[LlcoolJ]

It was best player ever to play for either club as well.

We've had the pure class of Vicente and Lawrensen but closer to home, Ian Wright was twice the player that Zaha will ever be.

 

[WhingForPresident]

We've had a lucky escape then . Still , our new midfielder isn't too shabby .

Meyer could be a coup to be fair. Maybe some echoes of Lewis Holtby and his ill-fated spell at Spurs, but he could be a great signing.

I see the German press are saying some nice things about him and Palace, seems to be a lot of bitterness towards him

Yeah, I agree, and Vince Hillaire wasn’t bad, the *******. Kenny Samson, not up there with Lawro , but a terrific left back.

 

[Mellotron]

Mahrez

Exactly, like they do everyone they sign until the playet don't want to be there then said player was/is shit.

Doesn't just apply to players that leave. See Wayne Hennesy thread on BBS.

 

[Easy 10]

Palace fans remind me of a completely un-ironic version of Crodonilson. They speak in gushing superlatives about stuff that isn't actually that great. They just can't help themselves.

Zaha IS a good player, but thats never enough is it. He has to be "the greatest player to have ever played for EITHER club". Or "the best player outside the top 6". I suppose we shouldn't be surprised, being as the swivel-eyed gravity whore actually said out loud that he considers only Messi and Ronaldo to be better than him.

Its genuinely odd. Must be something in the water up there. Still, it gives us all something else to chuckle about dunnit.
