Really, really don't want Arsenal to get Zaha. Do they really have so little money? Considering how much work the rest of their team needs I'd be very surprised if they'd even want to spend what could only be a very large portion of any money they'll have on one attacking player.

Would love for them to sell Auba to China to find this. Don't mind them swapping 30 goals a season for 15.

Wouldn’t mind them splashing out on Zaha. He’s a good player but their attack isn’t the issue. If they spend all their money on him there’s no way they have enough for their defense and midfield.

Let’s not kid ourselves. Zaha would be a great addition to our squad.

The money for all players is ridiculous now, and this transfer wouldn’t be any different.

I personally would be thrilled if we got him. Do I think it will happen? No. Hope I am wrong.

Since they are reportedly keen on KWP, and yesterday's ITK said all 3 of our RBs are free to go if the money is right.

Could we work him into a deal for Zaha, so that Zaha's fee is reduced, and Utd don't get as much from the clause?

Or is that too dodgy and not allowed.

Bulk sale. Lamela, Wanyama, Walker-Peters, all of the players we don't need anymore basically so Palace pull Man Us 25% sell on clause pants down. If Lamela is game for it let's be honest they won't be finding a better replacement if he stays fit. Who else can we give them? Edwards? Re-sign Vorm and give them him as well ;)

Go on Woy my boy, you know that's a decent deal!

Ignoring the exorbitant transfer fee isn't his salary expectations well in excess of what he is worth or what we would pay?

I'd rather them have Auba tbh.... I know he was a top scorer but he still somehow often looked so unconvincing when I'd watch him play. I know which one of the two I'd rather have at Spurs.

their front line would be fkin hot if they do this deal,

surely we can chuck them an RB/or fund something close to 60? We need to shift Vic and Erik too, can't rely on either's fitness sadly.

Wonder how he must be feeling watching Wan-Bissaka move to United.

Probably a lot of jealousy, frustration and regret - I'd be very surprised if it doesn't trigger a move for him this summer.

Nobody is going to pay more than £60m for him though.

Apart from he's been there and done that, in reality

Auba is a flat track bully but that gets you a lot of points against the bottom half. Zaha is dangerous against anyone but he rarely punishes anyone. Tough call who I’d rather have on Arsenal’s squad.

Arsenal in for Zaha... Hmmm.

They won't get him. Too rich for them this year.

It'll be a case of "well we tried" and as Spurs supporters, we know what that's all about.

keeps the goons thinking the are relevant though and 'trying' for big signings.

The difference is this year us we will make big signings and they won't.

Pretty perfect description to be honest, although if Auba isn't scoring I just think he's playing very poorly for a striker whereas Zaha doesn't have to score to have a positive influence on the team. I personally feel like I'd be more worried playing Arsenal if they had Zaha in their team than if they had Aubameyang.
