Except Zaha has already said he wants a London club. Have they moved Anfield?
Liverpool offered £80m for him and then the likely 200k wages a transfer like that would command. Do you really think he’d turn them down.

Phil was simply offering an opinion on how highly he does or doesn’t rate him, but hey. Let’s just have a little dig instead......🙄

Klopp is not going to pay £80 mil for a backup player.
The two we have are better.

I didn’t for a second say he would.

Was simply suggesting that the whole issue of him staying in London would imo be mute if any northern (big) club came calling.

That being said. You paid 75m for Keita didn’t you? I think he’ll improve, but he only made 25 apps last year.....

It’s City and Liverpool offered him a contract he would go - no doubt about it imo , he would more than happy move to a team challenging for the title and CL, and the whole wanting to go to London seems based on

It is understood the 26-year-old wants to stay in London and play European football.

Don’t see anything from the player

Keita was around £45mil I believe with the normal add ons.

He had a stop start season last year , little injuries et - started well , very low middle , finished well until injury at the end

It’s a cliche but we have Ox back next season ( like a new signing ) plus a more settled Keita - think will give us a bit more goal threat from the middle

So do you expect Keita to be Kate but with lots of goals next season?

To be fair Tashy, your club is like mine - apparently only been around for a few years and into existence when we got a bit of cash, started to win trophies and upset the establishment!

So will take a fair bit of time before you actually know anything...........!!! 😉😀😀

Thinking of starting a new football thread, talking about crap football teams. Following City, there is *** loads I would like to get off my chest going back decades.

I never said you did.
It’s paper talk the player hasn’t made a statement yet.
Kieta did ok but every time he got a bit of a run he got injured.

Seen Zaha play in person last season and even though Palace were dreadful Zaha looked absolute class. So good at holding the ball up and beating players despite rough tackles on him, we could hardly get the ball off him. He's big, strong, quick, could definitely do a job for one of the big sides and has the potential to score a lot of goals given the right service.

He is a good player but £80mil?
Think Klopp would be interested but not at that price.

I've never been his biggest fan. I think the UTD move came far to soon, but the last 3 seasons have been as good as Sterling was prior to playing under pep. With the right style he could be a superstar.

In todays market i reckon 80m is justifiable, but not for a team that doesn't need him, such as Liverpool.

If he just stopped the moaning about players trying to stop him ( some nasty ones by the way) but he is not immune to some bad tackles himself.
And stop diving !

Ronaldo was like that at Utd but once he stopped he was a world beater .
Liverpool need options imo and I would not be surprised if Klopp has a little bid.

My only concern re Salalh is this. At Palace he is a very big fish in a pond. If he goes to the Arse, Liverpool. How big a fish would he be. Could he handle sharing the limelight. There's only one way to find out, but for me it's an 80 million concern.
