I'd love Eze but I don't see Palace selling him. If given the choice between the two I'd pick Eze as well, but I think Zaha is still a good pickup.
Excellent at what?
He's a one dimensional player who's rarely ever been consistent at that one dimension. So much waste and poor decision making, and at 29, that one dimension will start to fade soon.
Of course Son has scored more goals, that was never my point.
I still think Zaha can be a great rotation option for us while not being as good as Son.
So Zaha is Son's back up and Richarlison is Kane's back up?
Then we have a situation where we paid way too much for Richarlison who's not going to get much playing time as a back up CF. If he was brought in to compete for both LW and CF then it sort of makes sense but 60 million just for a back up striker is not good business.
Yes I get that but my point was that we already have Richy as a 60 million player that can play both LW and CF. Zaha would literally be overkill and redundant. We need to address other areas.
City, Liverpool, United, and Chelsea have spent 50m+ on rotational players for years. That’s what proper top 4 clubs do and where we’ve failed for so long. You said we should be buying top 4 quality, having high quality for rotational is absolutely what top 4 and title contending clubs do.
Conte said we need another attacking player when Gil goes. Why should we not spend a lot for one? Whether it’s Zaha, Zaniolo, or someone else.
richarlison shits all over zaha as a footballer. he shits all over him in every department except pace.
I understand where you're coming from but I think another attacking player is probably lower on the list of priorities right now. We need to address other areas. Our biggest concern for most games is our inability to get the ball up to the front 3. We need players that can handle pressure in our half and move the ball forward.
That’s fair, it just doesn’t seem like where our window is going though. Seems like Gil replacement and a CB is what is wanted.
Olise > Eze potential wise, also I think a better fit for the Deki/Zaniolo profile Conte seems to want.
Now, I’d love an 8/10 but it appears Conte doesn’t see it that way.
His goals and assist record at a poor Palace team has been fantastic. And most of these goals aren't tap ins but solo efforts.
He's great on the counter, and also has a few intricate dribbles in his locker.
However we already have 2 LWs, and we need a player to break down a parked bus, so he's not the right fit for us at all.
I still believe in Gil!!!
Plus Lamela FFS
James is probably the best right back in the world right now. He will end up at city replacing walker
Neither are either Pape Sarr or Djed spence, its called investment in future .
You could easily argue Tanguy is not PL quality physically or mentally ...... your point is moot
Good shout. Love Eze. Was sad we didn't go in for him two seasons back. He's super scrappy too.
