Wilfried Zaha

[George94]

or 4) Zaha decided to stay at Palace

Odds on him staying have been shortening over the weekend.

I very much doubt he'd chose to stay at Palace over moving to us or Chelsea...

Why? His last big money move turned out to be a disaster for him. He may like being the big fish.

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

Wow - some genius thought you were serious.

 

[spursfan77]

I very much doubt it was ever on especially as far as bids accepted

Yep. See my posts from yesterday. I suspect our interest ended as soon as we found out the price.

 

[aussie spur]

Might not be happening because palace can't get the replacements they want. The whole point of selling was to use the cash to buy a few players to improve their chances of staying up.

Ties in with Hercs info about us finding out what our Dear Leader is made of... ?

I doubt it would have got to the stage where both clubs bid and go through all of the motions and have those bids accepted only for him to say no. Who was the last player to turn down going to a bigger club should this be the case? I'm sure there are some but for Zaha to turn down clubs like Tottenham &a Chelsea when he's already demonstrated that he'd leave them should a big club come in I struggle to believe

I'm not actually that bothered if we don't get him. WF is one of the positions we're stacked at, Martial though is my true want, purely because he can also backup Kane if needed.

all reports said we agreed a fee

No - it was only a couple of “itks” who said we agreed a fee. Every journo or newspaper report is saying we haven’t had an interest this summer.

 

[Nick-TopSpursMan]

In my opinion we never agreed a fee. If we had, he wouldn't have played in the friendly.

 

[dwaynedibley]

Massive pinches of salt need to be applied to the irk surrounding this deal and the martial one, neither will happen as we won’t pay up for either!

 

[spursfan77]

No reports have said that. Not one media outlet or the club.

Gards also saying earlier that Zaha is a backup option.. I'm officially lost and have no idea who we're after or what we're planning

Most players involved in big transfers pick up “injuries” when fees get agreed

If Zaha is a backup?? Martial I assume is the 1st choice??

 

[dtxspurs]

Gards on twitter just now saying he's going elsewhere. I'm assuming that means Chelsea.

Dortmund, so they can sell Pulisic to Chelsea...

And there goes almost any remaining positivity I've held onto this window
