Why's he still at Palace?

I think that's a great point. He's good when he wants to be. Relatively poor return from him last season, and now he's able to play while the transfer window is open he's suddenly producing the goods. Always a bit suspect. Seen him have a few stroppy nothingy games as well. I think as you say someone else would have surely taken a punt by now if he was that good.

 

[fundy]

surely thats handball if Lindelofs was (neither are handball btw)

 

[User62651]

Because he's contracted to play for them

Very good.
He made it clear he wanted a move away - didn't happen, why not? Perhaps because coaches around the league don't see value in him?

I think there was interest in him but (I'm pleased to say) that the price set was too high, but that was £70m to £80m and there aren't so many clubs around who operate at that sort of level.

Yep, he doesn't star in every game but if that was a requirement Kane wouldn't be in demand either.

I think Zaha is a very good player .
My only reservation about him is his temper , complains far to much about fouls on him but some of the tackles he does are worse.
But I would have him.
Better players playing faster football would bring him on imo.

kolasinac sigh

west ham prob deserve to be level mind, we really look lacking in creativity with ball at feet

 

[PJ87]

Great goal

Even game so far but arsenal have far more quality

 

[PJ87]

We always look more fluid without noble

 

[Deleted member 1740]

hes been excellent first 2 games not really guilty of either those things in them either

You must've missed the 3 times he overran the ball today when there was a pass on a few seconds earlier.?

 

[Bazz]

Patrice Evra was alright on Sky. Not sure we'll see him again.

 

[SaintHacker]

Come a cold Tuesday in January can they scrap an ugly 1-0?

What the hell are you on about? This is Leeds we're talking about not
Boca Juniors. Have you ever even been to Leeds? Its baltic in the middle ao August!

Patrice Evra was alright on Sky. Not sure we'll see him again.

He was on towards the end of last season, the restart. He was on when Roy Keane had his fabulous meltdown. He was open mouthed and laughing ?.

When I've seen him he has been good. What makes you think he will not be around more? (I didn't see his match today)

 

[fundy]

like to see us bring Willock or Elneny on and move move Ceballos much further forward

 

[PJ87]

This game is crying out for Haller. (For us that is, arsenal won't want a proper finisher on)

Crazy decision... Like when bilic convinced himself payet was a LM and not a CAM

[fundy]

He's mentioned Zaha having a relationship with Moyes' daughter, which he has apparently always denied and said it affected him mentally. Kelly Cates had to make an apology later in the programme about it.
