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

[rogersix]

To be honest, I'd rather a deal with a big club just fell through, so he stayed (thoroughly demotivated), they then got relegated so that he is sold off next season for about £5m just to get him off the wage bill.

Wouldn't that be lovely?

best case scenario!!!

With muscular injuries you're absolutely right. Most of the injuries we suffered, however, were due to players being on the receiving end of dangerous tackles. Not much Roy can do about that

my memory isn’t what it once was, but I seem to recall that at least two of your long term injuries were a result of the player concerned MAKING the dangerous tackle?

 

[bobbysmith01]

No, he didn't.

Yes he did, I know he played less games, but his stats are better. Stayed on his feet a bit more as well.

"Some players got injured" is a rather understated way of putting it. At one stage we had 12 of our 25 man squad injured, any of whom would have been starting games under the circumstances. How on earth is a midtable Premier League side meant to deal with that?

These ‘tackles ‘ your players were on the recieving end of?

Would that be the two assaults on Kevin DeBruyne that Scott Dann and Jason Puncheon committed? You know, the ones that ended your Captain and Vice captains season.


Both booked for the fouls, and if they hadn’t been stretchered off, they would have been sent off.
Always the victim.

This thread is approaching Gold.

Heard Zaha has had enough of rescuing Palace can't blame him for wanting out. Roy couldn't win a game until he was fit again.

That's correct. Puncheon and Dann both crocked themselves fouling De Bruyne. The former's being more assault than foul.

The report also contains this gem.....

"Victory would perhaps have been an injustice given the ease with which Wilfried Zaha tumbled like broken reed under Raheem Sterling’s gentle challenge."

Ouch - I do love it when someone has the memory to actually challenge the bullshit these goons come out with on here. They must just pray most don’t remember / cba to look it up

Another owning - lovely to see the squirm!

I said most, not all. We lost Zaha, Sako, Cabaye, Schlupp and Loftus-Cheek to dodgy challenges and that's just off the top of my head.

Obviously Puncheon's tackle on De Bruyne was awful but to call Dann's an assault is a stretch of biblical proportions. Dann and Puncheon both injured themselves while fouling the opposition, but that doesn't mean that their injuries are somehow Hodgson's fault as was suggested earlier.

Puncheon and Dann accounted for 2 of the 12 simultaneously injured players at one point in the season.

It’s never your fault. Always the victims!! You lot are unbelievably deluded

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

Just 20 days for Zaha to get his dream move away from Palace.

 

[Whitley Bayster]

He needs to be at an ambitious club with money to burn and world class facilities where he can flourish as a second rate winger . Let’s just buy the Dwayne and have done with it

So 5/12 (and I can’t be bothered to research if you’re even correct on those) is ‘most’?! Hope you listen more next term young paddy

I don’t want him - he’s not a bad player but Knocky, Solly & Izzy are all well ahead of him. It’s a no from me.

I did read in one of the papers Zaha was keen to join Albion but Bloom flatly rejected it as didn’t want a known cheat playing in the famous stripes and damaging the reputation we have.

Spotted playing in a friendly for RDLeipzig the other day:

 

[Stat Brother]

Unsurprisingly our pet Troll is also forgetting about the player(s) who just didn't want to play.

 

[macbeth]

It appears Mr Tumble has now thrown a bit of a wobbly. Posted a now-deleted instagram story that simply read 'Final Straw'. Given he's such a dramatic prat, it could be about as little as the vending machine at smellhurst not working, but nontheless, watch this space...

Turned down £125k per week. Mysterious tweets and "indicates dissatisfaction" with CPFC.

Goodbye shithurst...hello Spurs.

 

[Mackenzie]

Perhaps he’s off to Leicester, they’ve got £60m burning a hole in their pocket

BBS:

Unfortunately I think there's no smoke without fire, he probably has expressed a desire to leave, but if we can keep him willingly, for another year, job's a good 'un. Next year the likes of PSG, Barca(Messi's getting older and will probably drop further back into midfield, so they will need another top class attacker), Real, Juve and City will be in for him, and we wont have a cat's chance in hell of keeping him, but it'll have been an excellent ride and all the best to him.

Christ.
I can't even decide if they're joking.
