Understand your reaction, but Zaha massively improved last 2 seasons. Think he would offer an extra dimension to our attack with his pace, strength and technique. Proven in PL as well.

Zaha brings unpredictability and the ability to beat 2 or 3 opponents with power and skill. None of our other players offers us that. For Palace last season he became unplayable despite opponents doubling up on him. Our opppnents can’t do that either. I’m excited at the prospect of getting him!

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/fo...-Christian-Pulisic-Gonzalo-Higuain-deals.html no news on Zaha but sounds like Chelsea are starting to swing into action. I wonder if Zaha is there back up option to Pulisic.
I tend to forget about Moira given his limited use so far.
I'm not convinced about Zaha but I am coming to the conclusion he is finally getting to a higher level. Him and Moura either side of Kane up top will give us a new dynamic and I certainly prefer Zaha over Son.

Would bringing in Zaha see us move Dele deeper into a CM role? If he joined, we'd have Dele, Sonny, Zaha, Moura, Lamela (and GKN obvs) fighting for 2 positions.
Personally, I feel he's a super player and will improve us but I don't think he'd add as much as a top CM. Truth be told, I had also figured that we could strengthen the wingback area but then Trips had a top world cup. His lack of pace still worries me though.

This is another thing that concerns me. Dele is best operating off Kane imo. He played deeper in the WC and was non-existent.

When you talk about assists and poor stats you need to realise he’s serving benteke not harry kane!

Trips pace doesn’t worry me at all when defensively we have Sanchez to cover. But going forward trips offers quality service which I would have any day over pace, you can have all the pace in the world but if you haven’t got the quality to back it up your harmless. How many times walker would get in great positions with his pace then fail to deliver.

If that happens, Eriksen should be a much better foil than Jesse Lingard, but it is a concern. Dele has played deeper before though, so I think he could adapt.
To be fair to him started great in the opener then seemed to get injured. Not sure he was right after. Still popped up with a goal in the QF also.
Could be a moot point anyway as maybe its only Eriksen Poch wants to try deeper.

Could be untrue as he’s unlikely to tell a stranger but a mate of mine who I go to Spurs with just sent me a photo of his work colleague standing with Zaha. Apparently when this guy asked, unsurprisingly, Zaha said he isn’t coming to Spurs.
I’ve asked him to ask his colleague for more info which he said he would on Monday morning.
Just passing on in good faith.

I don't think Zaha would tell a random person what is happening. Imagine the fallout, he said pretty much the same thing to a Palace fan last week.
Or he could just be telling the truth. Can’t see them selling with so little time left and so long on his contract.

There is a pic circulating on the palace forums my mate sent it to me last week it is probably the same recycled shit. He's going to say that to a palace fan regardless. If you were him would you tell a supporter you were off and risk it?

Walker told a few Spurs fans he was staying last summer.
Appreciate you sharing the info though.

Yeah because deals dont happen without the media catching wind do they
Sonny. Sky Sports were denying we were signing him and within the hour we had announced it. It’s isolated but it does happen.

This is exactly where I’m at. It’s his skill set and dynamism, and the options this would offers our attack as a whole which makes me want this signing so much.
There’s not really another player we’ve been linked to who could offer this. Well, maybe Gelson Martins but he’s totally unproven and has now gone to Atletico anyway.

Still don't see why not both. Zaha as part of a front 3 with Kane and Moura. Martial plays AM also. Christian and Dele pulling the strings behind. Frightening.

I’ve personally never seen martial play AM so can’t really comment on that but the reason I’d say is it’ll cost best part of £150m for both
