Wilfred Zaha

I think he would immediately be our second best winger and hes an upgrade on Martial.

If we brought him then shipping out Martial and Elanga would make sense. We bring in a seasoned pro and a young CF and a CM, I think Sancho gets one more season and after that he is out as well.
 
We have many players in his position, unless we're selling some I really doubt this. He'd be better off being the main man somewhere else.

I'm very worried about Rashford agreeing to big wages and some crazy signing on fee for PSG though.
 
Saw a stats post not long since. Apparently he's one of the best pressing forwards in the league which surprised me.
 
I’m just curious why people say “I can’t stand him“?
Because he's an aggy moany twat. Seems to lose his head at least once a game, even acted a cnut with Rashford of all people. Was great to see Tanganga humble him.

 
He's the dream signing of many top teams.

or is he?

So? Bruno is the whiniest player in the league possibly, is that it? Because he’s a moaner you hate him?

You wanted to know why and that's the answer. Absolutely, Bruno is not liked at all outside of United fans for his moaning and whinging. I'm sure there's a thread on here dedicated to calling Robertson a twat for his on pitch behaviour. It's hardly anything new.

Also you introduced hate into the equation not me.
 
The only reason he's still at Palace is because they valued him far higher than people are willing to pay. A bit similar to the Declan Rice situation.

He's a brilliant player and for free he'd be a decent squad addition. If we are going to compete on all fronts we need to be adding quality squad additions.

I don't have anything against him, I don't think I have ever criticised him(except maybe when he was here), but it's pretty obvious why some people who watch him more regulary would not stand him. He is a moaner, he is a diver, he likes to fight with everyone, I have seen him complain about his teammates even after attacks he messed up, and he is pretty annoying with the ball at times even if he is playing for your team.

So, yeah.
 
We do need a striker ….but we’re not fecking desperate

Actually I didn’t introduce it. Several posters earlier in the thread did. Apologies if that wasn’t you

edit; actually further apologies it was “can’t stand him” not “hate”

So yeah you just described Bruno
 
Horrible demeanour on the pitch and seems to only score about 4 goals a season.

Free transfer though. But clearly his agent is putting all sorts out in the press to try and get a taker.
 
Clever business. We have a 25% sell on. Admittedly, that’d be 25% of nothing, but still. 25% of nothing is more than 0% of 25.

Only it is the same nothing we gave pogba.:D

Got double figures in the league multiple times playing for a bang average Palace.

I am not advocating us signing him but there have been some very odd takes in this thread.
 
Doesn't have the same attitude as Weghorst but he's got more ability on the ball. The best performances for me this season came when it was Sancho, Rashford and Antony wide. I know Marcus wasn't as clinical in this period but his movement opened lots of spaces and the team looked fluid in both possession and the transition. The notions about FFP hampering the summer budget perhaps have some relevance but for a free transfer it's decent business.
 
Zaha to AWB, "I can't beat you, so I'll join and we'll play together (again)".

I don't watch enough of Palace's game but going by highlights and his performances against us, as a free, in a vacuum this is honestly a no brainer for me. A quality squad/pushing first choice option.

He definitely raises the level of the squad, the only issue is, does it impact our other priority signings (CF/CM etc) and how many fecking wide players do we need unless he's going to be in a more centre forward/false 9 position.
 
Would be a good upgrade on Weghorst. Let Weghorst go, sell Martial and have Zaha as the back up no.9 (and LW option) behind a new no.9

Doubt it will happen but a move could make sense, more so for us than him though.

It’s different with Bruno, he’s on edge and is pretty much always doing his darnest to win 100% of every game he plays. Zaha will act a total bitch in 100% of games he plays….only 50% of them he’ll disappear into his shell and hide
 
He's class, probably the best wide forward outside the big 6. His only issue is that he's now old. Would only make sense for a small fee.
 
I think he'd be a great addition for you. It'd be really interesting watching him start through the middle but dovetailing with Rashford by drifting to the left and letting Rashford work through the center.
 
I'm unsure really. He has flashes but I don't think he is made to play for a top team. I suppose I would have to back it if it was to happen due to my account name on here.

So you’re saying that Bruno only moans because he’s a winner and zaha moans because he’s not a winner? Alrighty then.
when you take your rose tinted glasses off you will realise a moaner is a moaner
 
If Rashford moves to CF then he makes sense as first choice LW, assuming we dont think Sancho is best suited to that position in our set up.
