Cheers lads might just be the typical case of people wanting to crap on a player because we are signing him. I like Zaha but haven't seen much of Bolasie I do think 17 million if we paid that is overpriced but hopefully down the line he makes it look like a great deal.
Wilfried Zaha - Sold to Crystal Palace

He really is. He's an 'edge of your seat' player. Albeit against Championship defenders.
There's serious potential there, I've been surprised by his strength today.
Not a bad half.
Palace aren't giving him many options, he beats 1 or 2 players and is surrounded by another 2 or 3 yellow shirts.
None of the others seem to be very good at football.
Crazy how much attention he's given by the Watford players. But I guess if you nullify him, you pretty much nullify Palace. He really is a great prospect.
Saying a lot more about the lack of quality in the Palace side. Now if they had Chalobah in their midfield.....
Williams is decent. Palace miss Murray.
Posing more of a threat now the game's becoming stretched
Do you know that Rooney and RvP would really benefit from this guy. He seems to be able to always create half chances for his strikers. I predict many overhead kick attempts from Rooney if he stays next year!! 
It'll get Rooney fit for sure, all that charging to the far corner flag trying to keep Zaha's "crosses" in play.
Stop talking crap
We havent paid anything like 17m for him! Not sure where thats come from.
Anyway as for Zaha he is technically very good. Really does remind me alot of Ronaldo whenhe first arrived. His strength and pace are superb, and with a bit of work on end product (ie perfect pass, cross, and general intelligence) he is going to be a top player. Mark my words.

Trying to do a bit too much, which is understandable at his age and this situation.
Just created a great chance for Wilbraham
He looks good but very raw, the level of expectation from some on here is a bit crazy.
It's £10m rising to £15m depending on appearances, goals, etc.
He's creating loads. Lost the ball twice there but that's what will happen now and again with the type of player he is.
You see, he's not Spanish or Portuguese
He looks like he hasn't a clue what to do once he beats his man or makes a dribble. He'll be the Caf's "frustrating" replacement for Nani, I'd imagine.
Agreed, however, he does look an exciting talent who already possesses some great attributes. He can only get better.
He is pretty raw but clearly talented. Does sometimes frustate by not releasing the ball earlier.
Have you actually been watching this game cos that's such tosh?
It's understandable as at the moment most of his teamates are dreadful. When's it's Rooney and RVP, he'll pass!
We havent bought the finished article though have we. He will develop his passing at United, no question. I think the promising signs are there with his technical ability head and shoulders alot of PL players already.
In the second half alone he's created or been involved in about 4 clear chances.
no I haven't seen this specific game because I'm at work, sadly.
He looks like his decision making needs to improve drastically, but he's 20, so I'm sure it will. It was only a joke anyway.
Oh yea definitely, but there's people talking like he's going to come in and be a ready made star from minute 1, he's going to need development time and patience, exciting prospects though that's for sure.
He hasn't a clue how to use his pace
Loan for him next year? Playing 30+ games for a prem side might do him more good that then odd sub appearance for you lot.
If our wingers maintain their current form then he'll get plenty of appearances.
He's already more entertaining than Valencia and Young put together. I reckon he'll get plenty of games if those two are the competition.
He is pretty raw but clearly talented. Does sometimes frustate by not releasing the ball earlier.
I think some, like me, are just excited at the prospect and with what our coaches can do with him. After the highly disappointing season our own wingers have had when it comes to creating, I don't think it is too far fetched to think Zaha may have an impact here straight away.
Yeah, I can see him getting 20+ games at United.
Possibly, if we sign a winger this Summer, cause Nani is probably gone. If Nani goes and we don't get a winger, there's plenty of opportunities for games.
Looks good, final ball and all that needs work but he's promising. Can't say how he'll fare here next year but as of the end of the season he should be fighting for a starting berth at least, which sums up our wingers last season.
I think a 20 year old, still learning the game, will eventually learn how to use his pace especially with good,experienced players around him. Giggs would be brilliant with him.How many times did Giggs run into blind alleys,hit the wrong cross,find the first man? He learned and became a world class player
He is demanding the ball in a high pressure game, yes he's clumsy in moments and his crossing is nowhere near to its usual standard but some of the tricks are very effective in beating players. In addition to this you have to remember similar to Neymar, these players when placed in a team in which there is alot of talent already in place, usually get better as there is less pressure on them as individuals to perform as the workload is shared.
The OT crowd will really take to him I feel - such an unorthodox talent.
