No to either of these. Were going to get rinsed, i was hoping Monchi could bring us better value for money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jono62 Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 Makes sense because his full name is Harvey Torres Barnes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knutserov13 Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 What I think will happen is we will sign Harvey Barnes pretty soon and Joao Felix on loan to buy later in the window. Maybe we will add a reserve GK and another defender aswell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicon Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 28 minutes ago, jacketspuds said: Ferran Torres on loan with an option to buy him for £25m? Let’s hope that’s true. Sounds a bit light tbf - rudimentary calculation would say that they'd need 38.5m euros to break even on FFP at the moment. Another season and they'd break even at that or thereabouts, but I imagine they'll want a high loan fee along with the obvious wage covering. He's on 192k euros per week apparently.

No chance Zaha comes here…he isn’t leaving Palace unless to an elite trophy winning club or a big Saudi package. Doubt an elite club will come in for him and I wouldn’t pay his wages to come to us that he’d want. Better value elsewhere imo even as a free transfer…he would want a massive signing fee and massive wages. Edited June 29, 2023 by nick76 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one_ian_taylor Posted June 29, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted June 29, 2023 (edited) This (Torres) is very exciting given it wasn't a position we necessarily needed to strengthen to this degree. Either suggests some kind of tactical change/innovation or there being much more to come. Given what people have said about a possible weakness in the air, he may take some time to adapt, but a bit like our improvement after those games we had with Arsenal and Leicester, sure he will come good Edited June 29, 2023 by one_ian_taylor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Equally I can see Zaha staying at Palace, he’s recently invested in a semi pro team in Croydon with Stormzy. He’s a Croydon/South London guy through and through 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HalfTimePost Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 (edited) Emery wanted to buy Zaha in 2019 at 26 years old. We ain't signing 30 yo Zaha. He'll be wanting another player in his prime years to do the job, perhaps with some similar qualities to Zaha Edited June 29, 2023 by HalfTimePost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should have said.. it was an interesting insight.. I didn’t mean it to sound like I was dismissive of your post RicRic Ultimately we all wish we absolutely knew what Emery’s plan is for next season.. Certainly I’m feeling very impatient to see what happens next season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villarule123 Posted June 29, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted June 29, 2023 Zaha would be fantastic and is a position we need to fill badly. It won't happen though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam-AVFC Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 2 hours ago, MWARLEY2 said: I don't get the dynamic angle with regards to Rice. He is slow . JU would beat him by 10 yards in a 50 yard race. He is heavily built. Will get even slower in rhe next 5 years. A good player and a good leader no doubt. But not dynamic . I think he's a good ball carrier and energetic. There should be no reason for a player like him to be making 50 yard runs unless it's towards his own goal! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
