MPH Posted 12 August Share Posted 12 August 2 hours ago, AKCJ said: I would say it's great to get bodies in but he's not better than either Mavididi or Vardy. Good depth but his wages are eyewatering. Well Vardy is out injured for a start… plus he’s obviously 37 and not a winger… i actually think having a top quality experienced winger like Zaha would be wonderful for Mavididi and Fatawu to learn from.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah my point is more that I don't think we should be spending 8-9m on someone that doesn't actually improve our best 11. I don't disagree with the fact he's an experienced and proven player at this level, i just doubt that his physicality and mentality will keep him at a higher level than our current players. I do think he's past it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think he's past it. Make no mistake, this guy has scored amazing goals in the prem before and turned top defenders inside out. We’d be foolish to turn down this opportunity. That 8m will give experience, assists and goals in the prem and that could go a large way to helping us stay up and would be worth every penny.

beastfootballx Posted 12 August Share Posted 12 August An agreement is about to be reached with Leicester City for Zaha. An official statement may be made during the day. I expect the rental fee to be over 10 million Euros. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm surprised i'm in the minority that sees this as a bad deal. It stinks of desperation. He's on a massive wedge and has a very questionable attitude. He doesn't strike me as the type to lead younger players in the same way Vardy does. Galatasaray fans pretty much all say that he's lost his explosive pace and that his attitude is appalling. This all comes after years of being the big man in a small pond at Palace (who improved as soon as he left). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think we should or will put all our hopes on Vardy. Sounds like a mixture of Hlozek, Vardy and Daka will be our strikers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ted Maul Posted 12 August Share Posted 12 August (edited) Am I right in thinking we wouldn't be covering the wages? Just the loan fee? If so, 10m euros is c.£8.5m pounds. Let's say he's on £70k- that's £3.5m. So in reality, the fee is more like £5m. The lift he would give the place would probably be worth it alone, I'd say- I'm not one to usually read too much into pre-season but things all felt a bit hopeless before the last few rumours emerged.

benpicko Posted 12 August Share Posted 12 August Sorry but Vardy wasn't very good the last time we were in the Prem over a year ago and Daka has never offered anything, we 100% need extra options Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babylon Posted 12 August Share Posted 12 August 4 minutes ago, sdb said: 10 mill for a year is pretty eye watering When it includes wages it's a few million loan fee and then wages. In our position, we can't comit to too much in fees and wages BEYOND this season. So it's ok saying x, y, z player is available and it's a waste of money. The point is, next season we aren't comitted and won't find ourselves in the shit. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
