alreadyexists Posted November 19, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted November 19, 2022 Zaha is a good player but he’s too temperamental, I don’t think we need a stroppy pre-madonna around the squad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 I actually think Palace are a team that uses the most of their location and is scouting young English / London talent really well and they're a team who I thought would be a surprise package this season and will eventually challenge top 10 with us We take Zaha off their hands for a fair whack and a good wage and they will buy a kid who we will question if we should have gone for in the first place rather than overpaying for the older model Madueke is the one that comes to mind straight away 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AshVilla Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 (edited) No thanks to Zaha. 30 years of age his best days are behind him and his wages will cost a fortune. Rather us take a punt on upcoming talent with longer potential upside such as Jackson from Villareal.

Tomaszk Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 All of a sudden, in that 442 shape we now have so many options. There's not really a weakness throughout the squad. Perhaps up front? Watkins and Ings are like one very good striker if you roll them into one. Wouldn't mind keeping out of it in January, if Emery continues to size up what he wants. If we do go for a striker, Evanilson at Porto is someone we could get who I think will grow into a top player. Not sure on Marcus Thuram who I saw a very tentative link to.

Not sure on Marcus Thuram who I saw a very tentative link to. i would like to see us get a wide player (ie: wide player/inside forward......you know, the modern type winger, inside forward type...) to play on the opposite side to Buendia, as Buendia can play the left or right of the 442 cutting in, then i would like the best player we could get on either of those sides, then Buendia can do the opposite imo......(if that makes sense?) Striker also, to play ahead of Bailey in his winger, inside forward, second striker role. less critical, but i can see us doing this by the end of the summer, a new CD. Even lower on the list, a new RB, i like Cash, but i do think he is limited in some area's, and a super high quality RB would elevate that defensive line imo (especially alongside a new CD to go with Carlos). ie: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure on Marcus Thuram who I saw a very tentative link to. I imagine he’ll want pace up top and out wide. We have that to an extent in Bailey and Watkins but I think he’ll want a couple more options. A top striker and another wide player gives us serious options both in a 4-4-2 and a 4-2-3-1 formation Not sure we can afford another striker on big money with Ings and Watkins both here? Would we need to get rid of one? We both know Ings isn’t going anywhere. Having both Coutinho and Buendia here also limits how much we can spend on another attacking player. Id love us to really trim the squad as well as adding to it in Jan and the Summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

burchy Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 I don’t think Thuram would be big money and he’d be a good option for us. He’s relatively late to the ST/CF role as tended to be a LW previously so could be a risk but he’s tearing it up in Germany under Farke or whatever his name is. I like the look of Evanilson too but I don’t think he’s ever really been that prolific and seems a bit of a CAM/CF hybrid to me. Might be good as an option for Bailey if we go with a ST and SS system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d prefer Gakpo and then play Bailey on the right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkLillis Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 I spoke to Palace fans about Zaha on the train back to New St last year. We both agreed…. Zaha is a player you can only actually like if he is playing for you. My opinion as of now is that he’s a tw@t that may change depending on wether he ever plays for us or not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
