We should go ALL IN on Bernardo Silva
Why haven't we gone after him?
He's exactly the player we need.

He wants to go to Spain.
City are pretty decent about letting players go that want to move. Barca want him but probably can’t afford him without selling DeJong and more.
Ok let’s go for Messi, CR7, Mbappe and Neymar too
Weren't we kind of loosely linked to him at one point when the whole Kane drama was unfolding last season?
Hoddle stated that this goal was in his top three. He scored a very similar one as well, and his final goal for Spurs before leaving to work for that cunt Wenger.
Those were his top three.
Zaha would be an immense signing actually. Scored 11 and 14 goals in the league the last two seasons. Already 3 in 3 so far this year. Imagine being able to take off Son and Kulusevski and bring in Richarlison and Wilf, or vice versa. Gamechanging subs.
Would be surprised though. Palace will understandably want big cash and he’s on 140k I think. No resell value with him already being 29. Would be a big investment for us with the fee and contract.

zaha is shit. poor end product, would rather keep lucas. actually watch zaha when palace are next on tv! awful decision making on the ball, constantly moaning about nothing. dont be sucked in by players that run with the ball and make easy things look harder than they are, hes fucking shit! theres a reason he didnt last long at man united and ended back at palace...
tell you what he is, hes another streetballer like ndombele but no where near the same level of talent. also comes with mentality issues like the fat wage thief too.
We really can't go a single summer window without some ITK bringing up Zaha can we?
Lol, I watch Zaha regularly. He’s one of the best players outside of the top 6 in the Prem. Averages basically 10 goals a season across his career and terrifies defenses. One of the best counterattacking players in the league too which would suit us.
Another Richarlison situation, people are too caught up on his personality and the fact he’s a bit of tit. But he’s an excellent player.
He was at United eight years ago when Moyes was their manager, naturally he’s an entirely different player now. He last appeared for them in 2014 ffs.
He's a good player, just not good enough for a top 4 side that will compete for trophies. That should be our standard when looking for players.
everytime ive seen him hes fucking poor. got a lot of palace mates so see a lot of their games and hes unbearably overrated imo. all flash not enough substance. 10 goals a season for an attacker that basically has a team set up to suit him is not a return to shout about. not like he offers much else other than goals and assists. hes as poor in buildup as son, poor football intellect. palace would of won against liverpool if they had an actual decent attacker as liverpool were shit. but palace got forwards who play like they are in the street, serious lack of football intellect, see zaha trying flicks and losing the ball when a simple pass would of set them off on an attack...all flash no substance.
if were just going off stats, id want a palace attacker to be getting 20 goals a season to even think that they could come to us and improve our squad. you swap lucas for zaha at palace and lucas easily batters his stats.

Don't want Malinovskyi, don't want Gordon.
Definitely don't want the greased blimp or fucking Zaha with his permanent look of a man who's had a wasabi enema.

Zaha...
The last 2 seasons were his two most productive seasons.
In 20/21 he had 11 non penalty goal contributions in the Premier League. In 21/22 he had 10.
As a comparison, Son had 26 non penalty goal contributions in 20/21 and 30 in 21/22.
And we have a lot of fans (myself included) that think we should drop Son.
Laughable to think that Zaha would add much to the team. when we already have Richarlison.

Zaha is excellent though, no?
Edit: Just realised he's a LW when we already have Son and Rich for that position... no point.
Why are you comparing Zaha's EPL only non-penalty goals with Son's goals in all comps? A bit apples and oranges...
Kane, Son, Kulusevski, Richarlison, and Zaha would be comfortably the best and deepest attacking front in the league. City can bring Mahrez, Grealish, and Alvarez off the bench. We’d be at that level with that group.
Premier league ten goal seasons:
Kane: 8
Son: 6
Zaha: 4
Richarlison: 3
Moura: 1
Kulusevski: certainly looks like he’ll have a fair few.
None one else can match that level of goal scoring and that’s what wins league titles and is the reason we caught up to Woolwich last season.
Eze's the guy we should be interested in. He's got the skill set we are supposedly after, can play as an 8/10 hybrid, can also play wide attacker so should be easier to keep happy. He's much younger too.
Can carry the ball, transition it fro. midfield to attack, but can also see a pass. Scored plenty in the Championship too.
