I'd never tell some random bloke on the street about my career plans. No idea why people expect footballers to be any different, fans or not. I'd especially not say anything about on-going talks.

Was in the barbers yesterday and a lad having his barnet done was a Palace fan.
Apparently Zaha put on social media that he won't leave until he has got them into Europe. That might be an old post though, but it also shows commitment that he is happy to spend the rest of his career at Palace ?

I personally expect a footballer to give me a thorough rundown of ongoing negotiations, including a calculated percentage likelihood of him leaving, if I ever bump into one

Martial was my number 1 want for this summer but I have to say I’m swaying more for Zaha than him now.
Desperation does that to you. He’s not all that great. Not as good a footballer as Martial or Pulisic and certainly doesnt have as much potential either. Even 50m for him is way too much. The english bonus on him is insane. Save the money you would spend for any of them and go for a top notch CM.

The tweet for that photo is dated 21st July, so the info could easily be out of date now
That was my point to the poster above. I also said what is he expected to say when confronted by a fan. One thing is for sure though he does love palace. When he went to utd he came back to a charity event at palace with boots and merch to auction off. One thing for certain is he is a good lad.

To be honest against some teams to have Zaha & Moura on the wings would create such problems! Counter attacking with speed. Plus let's be honest when you play against Kane, Zaha, Eriksen/Alli, Moura you simply can't double team any particular one in that lineup without giving space away to someone you don't want to have it.

But one thing that you needs for that to take place is a cm with the ability to play those passes out wide and to switch play quickly and effectively. Only player we have that can do that is eriksen.
