Zaha charged by the FA [was: could be banned]

[5 Zero]

I think that is commonly referred to as the 'if my granny had balls she'd be my grandad' transfer. I'm not bitter, I wish we had a £10m loan player on our books.

You're basically implying that the chances of us getting an additional £5 million for him are small or even non-existent. That simply isn't true.

I think some Leeds fans who were at the game have complained to the FA over the one finger salute.

They are sensitive little souls the Leeds fans aren't they.

Bless

Presumably you've seen the contract yourself then?

No but Parish has confirmed the add on's are worth £5 million and are 'very achievable'.

Sorry, but I find it hard to believe anything said by a supposedly professional individual who resorts to threatening fans of his own team on Internet messageboards.

 

[maltaseagull]

Nah, not a mention

I think it deserves it's own thread though.

He won't be banned ! As for you that criminally under rate him well, I find that baffling really. The greatest manager in British football history, who has been manager of one of the biggest clubs in the world for over a quarter of a century reckons he's worth £15m. That'll do for me I think.

Put just one man on him and you're ****ed - put 2 on and he'll still do you plenty of times.

And surely you saw him at the Amwx last season when he wasn't as good as he is now ? How many Brighton players did he go past before planting it in the bottom corner ?

Best winger in the championship by a country mile.

£10 MILLION.
£10,000,000.
That's what you've been paid for Zaha.

NOT £15m. You MIGHT eventually get £12m, or even £13.5m, in a few years time. You've been paid £10m. Zaha was sold for £10m.

Ahh why didn't you mention this before, we needn't have had this debate then! If Parish has confirmed it then that is the concrete proof we needed. I concede defeat, Zaha is NOT a £10m transfer but a £10m transfer with a bonus that may or may not happen, but probably will because Parish said so and he never lies....ever, lets just make everyone clear on that please, Parish tells the truth all the time, no lying or half truths from Stevie boy, he is honest as the day is long. £15m it is then (apart obviously from the £5m you haven't got yet but might as it is 'achievable'.) Trust Parish, he's a truthful honest guy.

 

[BHAFC_AMEX]

Your jealousy is palpable.

The best part is that we've got Jon Williams coming through who, when he is eventually sold, will probably go for even more! All over the papers last week that City will put in an opening bid of £8m this summer

Last time I checked, 8 million is less than 10/15 million.

 

[Mellotron]

If he doesn't make it at United, then we have mugged them. Win win.

You already have mugged them and won. £10m is UNBELIEVABLE business for Palace.

.

Is that the guy who told the football world that Palace will have a new stadium at the NSC within 5 years
How's that little project going 5 zero?

 

[The Fifth Column]

Thats him , the same Steve Parish who claimed Dougie wouldn't leave and they wouldn't sell Zaha in January for anything less than £20million. He doesn't lie though, can I make that absolutely CRYSTAL clear, Steve Parish does not lie.

 

[Dougie]

Wayne bridge ?

 

[fosters headband]

Wayne bridge ?

Would you pay £10 mill for Bridge now at his age?

Not the same really is it?

 

[Dougie]

£13.5 m

 

[Dougie]

Would you pay £10 mill for Bridge now at his age?

I wouldnt have paid that for him in his prime !

 

[fosters headband]

£13.5 m

Another figure, Where did this one come from, Steve Parish?

 

[Arkwright]

I wouldnt have paid that for him in his prime !

What a stupid comment. In his prime Bridge played proper top flight and won countless international caps.

That's why you are just a fan and not in a position to make important decisions, clueless!

 

[nwgull]

Zaha could be banned

City are still paying in the region of 4-5 million a year for his wages!

 

[Mellotron]

I love how Palace fans refer to Bridge, Kusz, Bruno as "has beens" and old etc. You are aware they're all around 30-32, not 35-37, right? Most players "prime" is generally regarded as around 26-29, for goalies it's later.

They're still absolute quality players, and that's why we're statistically the hardest team to beat in the whole division.
