The Transfers Thread

Zaha to United looks almost done and dusted. Within 48hrs I reckon.

Damn the player i was hoping would somehow go to LFC

DAMN YOU UNITED YOUR GOING DOWN

zaha is a product of the english hype machine. good player and the 8-12 mil will probably be a solid investment overtime. but he's not the world beater he's getting hyped up to be.

watched him a few times and he would fit perfectly in the rodgers system

 

[SuperCats9]

Haven't seen much of him, if we do get him hopefully he does well and doesn't crumble under the pressure and hype, looks like he will become Nani's long-term replacement, who will likely leave in the summer.

It's not a done deal, only reports i've seen are from the Sun, the guardian etc, not very reliable sources.

Where are you getting the info from Pantskyle???

I read it on soccernet which is usually pretty reliable.

As you say, it's everywhere, from the reliable and non reliable.

Personally I reckon Tom Ince is just as good, he just doesn't get the same press.

 

[Zidane98]

'Arry targeting Gallas. Tried to get Joe Cole and will probably be in for Becks. Just ridiculous the players he is targeting unless QPR are going to be renamed retirement home fc.

Zaha has more xfactor, would of been nice to have both.
Interesting SAF was interested in Ince but with Ince choosing LFC obviously didnt want to miss out on Zaha

Ince is less flashy but with a far better end product. As others have said I think Zaha just has a particularly good PR agent and big tickets on himself.

What if we were into Ince and Liverpool in Zaha?

I think the numbers speak for themselves. Both 20 years old, both playing as wingers, Ince has 13 goals and 10 assists in 24 games while Zaha has just 5 goals and 4 assists in 25 games. I think most would prefer Ince's goals over Zaha's stepovers.

That's the answer I wanted.

Luke Shaw not going anywhere commited to saints long term

 

[Stratton_Gun]

Laughing my ass off at the bickering over who is better ver Zaha and Ince. All will be revealed in coming years and not even worth discussing at the moment. Although I would trust Sir Alex and United to develop Zaha to his full potential if the trasfer does eventuate

 

[moomba]

They're two totally different types of player. Comparisons are a bit pointless as they each offer clubs very different things.

Quick put your arse back on.

It's worth discussing to a point. But as moomba says they are both different players.

I'm not sold on either.

 

[SuperCats9]

When Ronaldo arrived at United back in 2003 he was just a skinny showpony, doing step-overs, tricks etc but as he matured and with guidence from SAF, he became one of the worlds best footballers. Not saying Zaha will do the same, but at 20 years old, there is some comparison between the two.

 

[moomba]

WBA reject QPR bid for Jonas Olssen, about £5m.

 

[Stratton_Gun]

Welbeck would be a good pick up for Reading if the rumours are true

 

[Latro]

Rumours Sevilla president is travelling to London.

Tony Pulis spoke about the rumours about Wellbeck today. Seemed to pour cold water on it.

 

[Tulip]

Any intel on Luke Shaw, reckon he'll be a great player.

 

[Magma]

luke shaw will be a top line left back in the future. whether that's with southampton (hopefully) or another club, i'll say he will. same with ward-prowse. hugely impressive talents. i think it says a lot about the type of character shaw is when he has the biggest clubs in england sniffing around him and he commits to a club struggling to play top flight. good luck to the lad.

i guess a good comparison for him would actually be bale. quick, attacking, good dribbling and control. and it's not just because he's from the same youth system. he genuinely plays a lot like bale.
