[Football] Zaha watch - *** The SEGW finally managed to escape***

[albionfan37]

So that's the second relegation place taken then. Good.

Only one more to go, and the season hasn't even started yet.

Wolves are looking pretty good for the drop currently possibly Fulham if mitrovic and silva both leave

"Here we go" to Galatasaray.

Apparently.

He’s going to re sign at the last minute isn’t he!

 

[beardy gull]

He’s going to re sign at the last minute isn’t he!

It would appear he is not…

 

[B-right-on]

It would appear he is not…

Excellent news. All we need is Potter to go there and take them down.

"Here we go" to Galatasaray.

Apparently.

There he goes!

A Turkish Delight to see him exit the EPL!

 

[Springal]

I didn’t even realise Wilf wasn’t his real name until today

 

[sparkie]

There is no chance we play Galatasaray in the Europa is there?

 

[Bozza]

I must admit that for all the years he's been digging his Selhurst Park escape tunnel, I didn't think it would see him emerge blinking into the sunlight in Turkey of all places.

I had him as a bit too much of a homeboy for that.

Was this the best (or only) Champions League offer he had?

Dazet, the best a man can get?

 

[ElectricNaz]

Fraud player.

Knew he couldn't play for England so decided he was Ivorian, knew he'd be called out (again) at a top PL team. Crying again

It's possible.

They play Zalgris from Lithuania this week and next in the second qualifying round. You'd expect them to win that.

They'll then enter the third qualifying round with some better sides, but you'd still expect them to get through which will take them into the group stages proper.

Pretty much every exit point kicks out to a part of the Europa League though.

It would be hilarious if they got dumped out of the Champions League in the next 10 days, meaning he doesn't get to play in it, and then ends up at the Amex in the Europa League at some point!

Out of interest when was the 1st Qualifying Round?

 

[Brightonfan1983]

In the last few months, we've seen no end of players turn up in Saudi, hoping that an obscene amount of cash will help them sleep at night. For Zaha to go to Turkey for one last shot at top-level European football, and to earn less than he would at his boyhood club, for me is worth applauding.

I wouldn't go so far as to wish him luck, but he has my good wishes.

Out of interest when was the 1st Qualifying Round?

11/12 and 18/19 July. Galatasaray weren't in that though - teams enter at different stages based on ranking.

The first qualifying round wasn't the start of it. Before that, there was a preliminary round where four clubs you've never heard of played semi-finals and a final in Iceland. The winner Breiðablik, an Icelandic club, progressed to the first qualifying round where they beat Shamrock Rovers over two legs.

Blimey Wilf...whats that in your pocket
Shame if he does go imo... as our games have a better atmosphere when he plays. Can't believe he's not going down the Saudi route...fair play to him for that. Bloke has gone up in my estimation.

 

[Motogull]

Well, somebody wanted him after all. Not quite the level he hoped for but he's broken free at last. Fingers crossed he doesn't get homesick this time.

Quite funny that they were confident he'd not sign elsewhere and rejoin them. I hope he stringed them along as a way of sticking two fingers up at Beaky for tricking him all those years ago.

Good riddance. Don't come back.

I thought he had great talent, but sadly he's been coached by a retinue of old school chancers, self-styled mavericks and wankpuffins.

What chance did he ever have?
