I would absolutely love to take Zaha on a free. I think he'll stay at his peak for a good few years yet
Nice to see he's learned his lesson after what seems like 20+ years of him signing a new deal annually and then being surprised at not being able to leave...
If they had any savvy, they would offer him a % stake in the company out of their own pocket. Give up some their equity or somethingif he stays there's probably a route into that and an ambassador role waiting. He could conceivably have a stable 20 years ahead with us. Being a father there is a high possibility development of youth appeals to him.
Decent salary, life after playing, all near your home... what's not to like?

And they say footballers are thick.
I'm counting down the days until this rumour gets fired back up:
I was never keen when we were linked with big money bids for him, however on a free I wouldn't mind him coming in to fill out the squad, depends entirely on how obscene his wage/signing bonus demands are though, which I suppose depends on what competition there is for his signature...I would absolutely love to take Zaha on a free.

Feel like he's a couple of years late in getting out of there if he's aiming to have a crack at the "big" time again, definitely missed his peak moment.

You forgot to divide the 127m by 10 and then multiply it by 5. Then multiply that by 2.how much have we spent?
kulusevski 25 ÷ 5years = 5m
vicario 17m ÷ 5 years = 3.4m
maddison 40m ÷ 5years = 8m
porro 45m ÷ 5years = 9m
so we've spent 25.4m so far x 5years = 127m
although these figures are plucked out of someones arse nal
