Wilfried Zaha

[Mr Gamgee]

I think it’s fair to say we’re not looking to offload Lucas Moura

Agree, considering his game time with PSG last year I thought he was class when he did get a chance

I think he has a pedigree vital for a squad in the Champions League. I would be shocked if he doesn't play a really big part around the first XI or off the bench this season, I like his abilities a lot and he seems to have an excellent temperament

Just been reading a similar argument where it was pointed out that sell-ons and add-ons are, historically, actually all the hallmarks of a levy deal.

Add ons 100%, Installments 100%, but I'd have thought after the close call with Bale (we somehow traded a sell on clause for young GK Tommy Forecast) I'd have thought he'd be wary of that.

I thought we 'bought' the sell on for about 3m quid when they were struggling financially?

 

[Mr Pink]

I'd well pleased if we sign him, but have that feeling that this will build, and build and then no agreement will be found come the end.

Wouldn't say it was a close call - more fortuitous.

If levy could buy another play for £14m and sell him for £90m, I'm sure he wouldn't mind a 10% sell on again. Willing to bet Moura has one

Per Sky Sports

When they sold Bale to Tottenham in 2007, they inserted a sell-on clause believed to be 15% of any future transfer fee.

However, when they found themselves in financial difficulty, Southampton waived that clause and agreed to receive around £1.5million plus Spurs youth keeper Tommy Forecast.

Forecast never made an appearance for Southampton and is currently without a club.

I'd doubt a guy as frugal as Levy would be keen to hand over £14m to anyone, but I do take your point.

When selling a player I bet he always tries to put one in.

Everywhere else is saying 3m quid, not sure a youth goalkeeper would add much value tbh, especially back then.

I always thought that was the story, maybe it's been retold over time to spare SCBCs blushes.

Oh they definitely dropped a bollock there, but that 2-3m quid may well have kept them in existence.

Some people are worried where he'd fit in.

Zaha, Eriksen, Kane, Moura, Son, Lamela, Alli.

There are 4 competitions. It'll be needed.

Minus Zaha that whole forward line cost about £90m. I wonder how much it would cost someone now

Fuck it, sell them all and buy the planet Mars

£670-680m?

Basically the stadium debt is underwritten by that lot.

 

[werty]

I think 50 + add-ons, in addition to a player heading the opposite way (GKN?) would be a fair deal

That's about £60 million + add ons. Zaha isn't worth anywhere near that.

 

[Luka Van der Bale]

So earlier we were all feeling very positive about the Zaha ITK - I know I was anyway. Now that we know that shitty Sun article is all Pablo was talking about (pretty sure it was established he works there), really all we've heard on Zaha today is Herc saying 'Zaha isn't dead.'

Not looking quite so positive.

Yeah it's hard to take that article seriously when it also says Moura is going to be sold.

Ah well..not too long to find out.

[Luka Van der Bale]

Hopefully get a few more reputable sources linking us with him soon. Worried this was just tabloid trash Pablo heard in the office. Although he did add 'Zaha doing everything to get his move to Spurs' or something to that effect, which I don't think was in the article.

We'll have to wait and see with this one - fingers well and truly crossed.
