If Zaha is dead (ITK says it is and Chelsea is heavily linked), then it appears Levy is going to try and force ManU to swap Martial for Toby which is a huge, probably unwise risk as it can both leave Poch without someone he wants and keep someone on the team that he doesnt want.

I am less worried about the lack of ITK about targets as I am about the lack of ITK about departures. Besides maybe Rose we havent had any and if we really cant buy before the dead weight is moved, then yikes.

I’ve never been a depressive person, but all this conflicting itk this summer, our targets are more dead and alive than pirates in a Disney film. Checking here every 15/30 mins, and still no signings, I’ll be honest, it’s getting to me, it’s really getting to me guys and gals.

Roll on tomorrow for some more comforting itk, today’s has wiped me out.

You got some statistical evidence to back that up?

I think we could live without both Zaha and martial but we do need a CM, hopefully the mystery target is one and we can get it over the line.

Depending on the viewpoint it couldn’t be both dead and alive of course.

One ITK picking up that Zaha will be sold if asking price is met. So possible deal to be done.

Herc could be on the Levy end, knowing that he’ll never pay what is been asked.

I imagine we've agreed to meet the price on Zaha but how's its paid is the difficult bit.
Palace needing a huge chunk upfront and Levy wanting to pay in instalments.

Ali Z:

Personal opinion but I feel we have made a huge mess of this window all be it with some things going against us. If we have any incomings they will be HG, that limits us hugely in what we can bring in, we were expecting Toby, Dembele, GNK, Sissoko,Jansen and LLorente to attract interest and fully expected 4/5 of them out, the first two seemed to price themselves out of the market, whilst any potential suitors are waiting till our window closes to get there bargains, still think we will get 1/2 in and that a few will go, probably after our window closes.

Problem should be sorted going forward ad Dembele and LLorente have 1 year left on deals and Toby will almost certainly go sooner or later.



This is going to be part of the problem, I expect - we can plan to sell players, but we can't plan whether they make it easier or not.

I mean, this is nothing that we didn’t already kinda know, but still makes very grim reading...

Dead or alive? Truth is probably that the deal is in medically induced coma...we might turn the machine off or we might suddenly wake up and recover the situation. Only time will tell. Hold on guys. Feel there’s more twists in this one.

Levy will rise from his coffin next Thursday and shock the world.

I know that was stated as opinion by Ali Z so not sure if we're allowed to comment on it but his statement of "IF we have any incomings" is just sad.

Yeah i know six days left and such but it's quite obvious that the window has been a cluster**** and since we cant sell our deadweight any optimism people are holding onto can probably be let go.

If they're shit and we don't need them anymore and they are preventing us from bringing in just flog them. Dembele should be gone now, should have gone to China and the others will clearly generate interest before the window closes, even if they leave on loan.

Levy needs to act, he cannot hide behind the excuse that we will have too many players in the squad. Those players listed are either shit or their contracts are expiring, bite the bullet or write off a good season this time around
