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

[Se20]

The Iranian chap you signed, didn’t he choose you over Leicester?
Now without being disrespectful, he’s probably heard of Leicester, but Brighton have only just arrived on the scene, so it was probably a financial decision.
Playing devils advocate, Leicester’s average weekly wage is around the £60 k mark? so you would have trumped that to get him.
For those of you who think you pay low salaries, forget it, your wage bill when you got promoted was £35 million, so I would assume, with all the new players brought, it’s at least doubled.

 

[WhingForPresident]

Don't believe all you read is what I'd say .

I read that you're paying Connor Wickham 60k a week, which is almost certainly more than our highest earner. Do you think that's true?

That was with promotion bonuses you pillock, and that was for ALL STAFF. There is no way we are paying anywhere near 60k a week.. Doing ok ain’t we considering..

True, but incentives are still part of players contracts.
I bet they received just as much last season for staying up.

You're not being disrespectful - just clueless about Albion's attempts to sign Ali J which started more than 3 years ago.

Oh, and it's "bought", not "brought".

He didn’t fancy championship wages then ?

Utterly clueless. What sort of person would go on a rivals board and post such uneducated, ill informed, misspelt nonsense.

Oh yes. You. Over and over and over again. [emoji23]

I bet they received a lot more as they were in the Premier League, not the Championship. You know, the league where you get £100m even if you finish bottom. The league that you've had years of massive income from that you've pissed up the wall with nothing to show for it.

You have the worst financial situation re wages/player costs to turnover in the whole league. You're the only club spending more on those costs than you produce in income.

It'd be a tad surprising if anyone on here, or anyone in football in general, listened to a Palace fan about their club's accounts or financial position. You are the lowest of the low in that respect.

You mean that [MENTION=25756]Se20[/MENTION] doesn't know that Ali J has been here for several visits over the last 3 years and wisely took an intermediate contrct in a lesser league before stepping up to sing for us? As opposed to Benteke, who was parachuted into Sellhurst, landing with a bump, not knowing where the f'uck he was or what he was supposed to do, apart from carry mountains of cash away each week in a wheelbarrow? You mean that [MENTION=25756]Se20[/MENTION] doesn't know, as my late dad used to say, 'poop from clay'? Blow me down

 

[AZ Gull]

No, instead pursuing the riches at .......AZ Alkmaar.

What sort of person would use a derogatory term to insult another person, then have the neck to say he didn’t know what it meant .

 

[Bwian]

He's worth more than your stadium .

You really are a stupid Palace twunt aren't you Doggie?

 

[Not Andy Naylor]

He's worth more than your stadium .

I know which one I'd rather have.

 

[Bwian]

I know which one I'd rather have.

Does she realise how ironic her idiotic statement is? Cladding Palace idiot.

Great comeback you pitiful individual. [emoji23]

Now answer the question.

 

[LlcoolJ]

At least we didn't spend over £50 m .

You don't have £50m to spend on players. Your own manager said as much.

You've pissed £500m up the wall and your latest contracts mean you will continue the same way, the Palace way.

What's your point?

 

[LlcoolJ]

He's worth more than your stadium .

No he's not. Again, you don't understand what market value means.

Unless the Amex is now worth around £35m then Zaha is not worth more than it, as that was the market value that other clubs were willing to pay.

Why can't any of you comprehend basic economics?

Thick as mince.

 

[Mr Tumble]

It's called "market value" you dimwit. What an absurdly stupid post.

Hardly.

If you want to bring 'Market Value' into this, you are only just diminishing your point even more:

Richarlison, who scored 3 goals last season then vanished off the face of the earth - £50m

Riyad Mahrez, who hasn't actually done anything notable since the season Leicester won the league - £60m.

Allison (albeit different position), conceded 7 goals in 2 games against Liverpool - £75m


With the above 'market values' in mind, maybe review your comment(s)?

 

[Mr Tumble]

No he's not. Again, you don't understand what market value means.

Oh look. Here he is talking about 'market value' again!

"Where will Zaha go ?"

Well, he went to the cinema last night, proudly showing off his new "insect antenna" haircut. Either that, or his hair dye is running. Hard to tell.
