If Levy is not sure about paying what CP wants for Zaha and Chelsea is interested, then does anyone really expect us to get him? If Chelsea is that interested, they will just pay more anyway.

Bottom line for this window is whether Poch is happy, and after talking in media about getting players in early and ITK saying many times that both Martial and Zaha have long been Poch favorites, I am not quite sure how he could be happy if Zaha goes to Chelsea and Levy tries to buy some cheap alternative.

I keep holding out hope based on Herc's "Monday-Wednesday" timeline but we are obviously down to the last of those three days and have had nothing announced or seemingly even close via ITK, so hard to be optimistic.

Chelsea have no CL, if he goes to Chelsea it will be purely financially driven

No Championsn League, a manager he probably knows nothing about and two star players that have said they are open to moves.

If he has a straight choice between Pochettino or Sarri, Tottenham or Chelsea then he'll show what side of the fence he sits regarding his future and what he's looking for out of it

Re. Chelsea they have already spent £50m+ on Jorginho and are actively looking for defenders. Can't see them spunking on Zaha too unless players are sold. They may not be in as stronger a position as we might think.

Seems likely that Willian will be sold though, and maybe even Hazard.

...And talk FFP as much as you want. I understand that that is not as big an issue as outsiders are making it out to be. Take note#THFC

FFP is not worth the paper it's printed on. Every time it has been challenged it has met with defeat.

Call me a cynic but it seems to me that only Levy adheres to FFP - because it suits him to do so. A perfect excuse for him to keep sitting on his hands...

Get busy already and worry about FFP when the need arises - which is probably never

What's that famous transfer window quote?

"it's the hope that kills you"

In all fairness, surely we have to be a somewhat more attractive package than Chelsea in some way.

Zaha is a very good player and would improve us significantly. I hope it gets done. Would hate to see him at Chelsea.
