Pizy 19,377 Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 I’d prefer Wilf to Auba, tbf. But exactly like Mitrović and Toney, Zaha is the face and most important player for his club and there are just a few days left in the window. He’s irreplaceable for them at this moment in time.

One of those players who you despise when you’re playing against him but would love if he’s in your side. Him throwing himself to the ground and winning 500 fouls per season is annoying as hell but if he can do that for us I’d cheer. 1 minute ago, MoroccanBlue said: Contract expires next summer. Sell him now or lose on a free. True. But they won’t be getting huge money for him I wouldn’t think. He’s not young anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is inevitable. Plan B can basically only come from someone on this list comprehensive DMF list, including youth prospects Blue bold are the doable nows, Kouadio Koné is the way to go for me, he can play anywhere in MF, super athlete Declan Rice (not happening this window) Jude Bellingham (not really a DMF, but can play a pivot, we MUST move hard for him next summer, but we likely will fail, unfortunately) Nicolò Barella closest thing to Kante, not happening this window Frenkie de Jong Mikel Merino Marcos Llorente (we failed) Wilfred Ndidi Sandro Tonali (renewing) Rúben Neves Kouadio Koné Teun Koopmeiners Guido Rodríguez Danilo (Palmeiras) dice roll and the lesser ones Douglas Luiz Ismaël Bennacer Weston McKennie Martín Zubimendi André Zambo Anguissa Leander Dendoncker Julian Weigl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pizy 19,377 Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Btw, Zaha plays on the left. So I wonder what the thinking is if we go after him. Much like Leão, when we already have Sterling on the left I wonder where we’d play either of those two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You want Zaha isolated as much as possible 1v1 out wide so he can terrorize defenders. You don’t want him getting battered about surrounded by a couple of big CB’s in the middle. Think he’d be miserable up there for us. Vesper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pizy 19,377 Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 I really, REALLY wanted Wilf like 2-3 years ago when we were linked with him. He’s still highly effective and hasn’t really dropped his level at all but he’s 30 in a couple of months. Much like giving Auba a 3 year deal, giving Wilf 3 years or maybe even more is very risky. At this point in the window, though, I wouldn’t say no to another PL ready attacker who is a terror in the open field and is direct as hell. oldportblue 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
