I wasn't particularly in favour of us signing Zaha when there have been rumours (possibly enquiries) in the past. However, that's because I viewed him as a big money signing to go straight into our starting XI, when we were more in need of the qualities that Kulusevski now offers. As an additional option to the attacking players we already have, I would be very much in favour. Replacing Bergwijn + Moura with Richarlison + Zaha in one window would be fantastic.

Chelsea been proper annoying this window, just seem to be going for anything that moves. How are they not just solely looking for an out an out striker right now.

It’s interesting that Chelsea are concerned about the financials for Aubameyang considering the money dropped on Koulibaly who is a similar age. Plus their seeming interest in dropping £60m+ on Gordon!

Not really. Centre backs often play longer and Koulibaly is a high quality player and first team starter.

Gordon is young and can maintain his value for years to come.

PEA is likely a squad player whose value will soon be very low.

Not true. PEA is over 2 years older which is a dogs age when you’re a footballer in your 30’s.

No, I know about that aspect a few of our trusted jounros have said as much. I meant the bit about Zaha being vaccinated.
He wasn’t as recently as Palaces US tour in July as wasn’t allowed to enter the country.

This summer when you can see we clearly have a game plan and are looking for a winger who can play across the front line and use his dribbling skills and strength to break the line, I really can’t see why you wouldn’t want Zaha.

Kane, Son, Deki, Richarlson, Zaha and Lucas would be absolutely ridiculous as a set of options

It would be , your NOT wrong.
But I think we need strengthening in other positions more urgently,positions where we need urgent upgrading.
RWB is a total must in the system we play, Emerson has improved,but not good enough.
Centre of defence is still in need of upgrading imo, LWb also can be addressed, Sess has improved but not really good enough imo.

I would take Zaha all day if we were going to address the other positions too, but that is highly UNLIKELY,
So I would stick with the forwards we've got and strengthen the above mentioned.

Hey it's my personal opinion,yours ain't wrong btw.
