Player plus cash deal I think we'll offer, whether it meets their valuation is another thing. I reckon it'll need to come to around 70mil (max).

I imagine something like this

2 weeks ago
"OK so we're agreed, we will pay 40m plus 15m in add ons for Zaha but will give you time to bring in replacements first"

This week
"OK we have our replacements in can we have our money now?"
"Here you go"
"Thanks, oh wait this is 30m"
"Yes that's what we agreed, 30m plus 10m in add ons"
"No we agreed 40m plus 15m and not a penny less"

Next week
"OK agreed 35m plus 12m in add ons"
This is probably very close to fact!

Don't really follow lower Prem transfer dealings who is it apart Kouyate for quite cheap and Meyer, on huge contract balanced out by no fee, that they've bought that means they need to sell?

Pretty that whatever their price they'll want straight cash, the way they're going they won't need any players part exchange.

I know this isn't gonna happen but I feel like with the current situations of both Zaha and Martial, it could be now or never to just bite the bullet and get both while the opportunity arises itself. Yes it will cost a massive outlay (especially with the even more urgent need for a top CM), but we really would be set for years up top and would save ourselves more summers of wasted money on numerous "N'yones" from the French league.

Zaha for 70, Martial in a swap with Toby (as much as I want to keep him, it's looking increasingly unlikely), and a top CM for 70 seeing around the 150 spend mark. Tie up a deal for Dr Ligt for next summer similar to the Keita deal and we won't look too bad surely?

And before the optimistic ratings fly in, I'll just clarify that usually I would not be a massive advocate of Levy throwing money around. I am a big fan of Daniel and think he has done a wonderful job putting our club back to where it belongs. This opinion is purely based on the fact that two supremely talented attackers are up for grabs which just doesn't happen too often, and will save us a fortune over future windows.

I didn't wanna go there again, but since you brought it up... :whistle::whistle::whistle:
They are linked with a lot of attacking players, they are trying to go for Jordon Ayew as well as Ings. Mayer on top of that too. They are trying to replace what they will lose.... hopefully
