Popular Post ccfcman Posted November 16, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted November 16, 2022 (edited) The grief Zaha gets is the biggest pile of shite known to man. He gets kicked up and down the pitch every week, his attitude and work rate are great, scores worldies for fun and has shown serious loyalty as be rebuilt his career. He's head and shoulders above anyone playing in a Villa jersey right now. I'd caution it's his skin colour that catalyses so much of the abuse and ridicule he receives. Mings faces the same baseless garbage from opposition fans, he's an easy target and yet statistically makes less errors leading to goals than Tarkowski, Coleman, Michael Keane & Ben Godfrey. Don't think I'm calling anyone racist, but the pattern of questioning the attitude, aptitude and application of black players is painfully transparent and fundamentally lazy.

Enda Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 Mad respect for standing up to racism @ccfcman, but Zaha being an unlikeable prick has nothing to do with his skin colour. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was listening to Tim Vickery talk about him and he said he's a big miss for Argentina, as he links the play. Is he injured, or was he dropped from the Argentina squad?

Absolutely. Between Zaha and Fernandes it's really hard to judge who's the biggest prick in the Premier League. Skin colour doesn't even enter the equation. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 What about Martin Terrier? It was a name I saw mentioned before and his YT clips look good! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post MaVilla Posted November 16, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted November 16, 2022 Zaha is the kind of pr*** who you hate, but would love if he was in your team, a bit like Grealish and his diving/intelligent team play.....depending on which side of the fence you are on. I havent seen any stories of us linked to Zaha?, other than the odd comment about how Emery wanted to sign Zaha over Pepe 120 years ago? I wouldnt say no to Zaha, clearly an extremely talented footballer, however, do we really want a player on such huge wages and probably a fairly long deal (who would prob cost a lot also transfer fee wise), who is 30 and probably coming to the stage where one of his biggest assets (his pace), will start to decline? I dunno, would prob prefer us trying to find the next Zaha (talent wise), than buying a player close to decline (i know players can still be very good post 30's, but if one of a players main strengths is their speed/agility etc, that is one of the things that will decline quicker with age, compared to intelligence, game IQ, movement, physicality etc etc, which can be maintained much later in to a players 30s). 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a superb player and I think he'd thrive up front in our system. Wages etc. would be an issue. I think he'll go abroad personally. He was linked to PSG a few years back so think that will be his way of playing for a CL team before his career is out. Some really really exciting names in that potential free transfer list...imagine signing likes of Skinrar and Tielemans in same summer with Emery managing them. We'd fill a 50k stadium no problem with that quality in our first 11 alongside existing players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s a hot head, that’s why he gets ridicule and abuse. It’s too easy to set him off and every forward player gets kicked up and down the pitch, it’s a physical sport. For anyone that watches college basketball/ NBA, he’s the Grayson Allen of soccer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not sure who the other keepers are at West Ham so probably a no brainer for them to extend his deal. Are there any other mid to late 30s keepers that would be an improvement on Olsen that we could get in for a couple of years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delphinho123 Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 There are some seriously good free transfers coming up in the Summer. There might be a few teams bidding decent amounts of money in Jan to tie up those deals a little earlier. The selling club obviously have little choice but to accept. Not sure we have any chance of attracting the likes of Tielemans and Zaha but always worth a shot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's nothing to do with the fact that he's black. Literally millions of opposition fans gave exactly the same grief to Grealish whilst he played for us and he's the whitest man on the planet. He's a word removed. End of story. Nothing to do with his application. Incredible player though, and you're right, he's shown proper loyalty to Palace during a period where he could have gotten a much much bigger move.

DeadlyDirk Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 Saw earlier that Adama Traore's contract will be up at Wolves too, maybe he'll feel he has unfinished business here or will head off to Barca or somewhere similar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
