    Various Turkish sources claim that we have made an enquiry about Zaha who reportedly didn't have a great first season with Galatasaray and only made 15 starts in 42 appearances

    I hate football...

    I don't particularly like Zaha, but he has absolutely bag loads of ability.

    Seen a lot of reports that we are a little strapped for cash this summer

    Maybe we were banking on the Paqueta money which seems unlikely now, but maybe a bit of bargain hunting this summer

    He had bags of ability, but his last season at Palace suggested a drop off in form, and, as ASLEF says, his season in Turkey wasn't exactly impressive.

    There were links to Zaha 2 or 3 weeks ago, apparently they're keen to offload him as his wages are supposedly a bit of an issue for them, so I think they're being a bit cheeky asking for 10m for him given they signed him for nothing last summer. They gave him the contract, let them stew on paying his wages then 😂🤣😂.

    It's a big no from me though, He's likely to still want big wages from us, so exactly the wrong sort of signing imo.

    Kudus is very similar to Zaha but young and hungry. Zaha was a great player at best and kept Palace up on his own at times but it's a move looking backward for us and I suspect a step closer to retirement for him. I guess if we offloaded Ings and only had pay him those wages it would be a no lose and strengthen the squad, but If we had to pay a fee and increase the wage bill massively it would be a big no from me.

    Looks like Wes Foderingham will be signing this week on a two-year deal. Medical took place today.

    To be fair to Wes, all he has to do is let in less than 100 goals to have a better season than last...
  • IronHerbIronHerb
    He only let in 79 😂
  • BazshuayiBazshuayi
    Sheff let in 100+ goals last season, I assuming med he was in goal all the time....

    No, Grbic was in goal for the 9 games and let in 25.

    Tbf fair play to him, has clearly gone somewhere where he can get proper gametime and really try to kick-start his career

    Not sure it's a kick start going to a relegation favourite.

    Heard it was Paqueta 😮‍💨

    We apparently offered £35m for Kilman, or £40m plus Ings.

    But to have a good chance at playing regularly is, wherever you can get it.

    I think he's chased the cash, no issue with that.
  • WHU_Champo_league_in_7_yearsWHU_Champo_league_in_7_years
    Don't see how joining a team where its very likely they have contract clauses where players wages drop once they're relegated (which is likely for Ipswich) is "chasing the cash", especially when said team have will have the lowest wages in the league

    I seriously doubt if Ipswich could afford the £50k pw he allegedly wanted, their highest paid player is reported to be George Hirst on £17k pw

    He's probably getting pretty much the same as he was at West Ham (£20k) but with a much better chance of more playing time
  • SlackerSlacker
    I heard he’s getting £40 grand a year and a company Suzuki Swift.

    From the press it seems that too many players want to leave and we haven't tied-down outfield replacements (only 1 so far) though it may be early days. Even if we get them there is a daunting task ahead. Pre-season will begin in about 3 weeks. Before that players need to get fit and bed into new locations and the playing system preferred by the manager. New coaches also need to understand players physical and psychological make-up as there is little continuity in that department. I may be faint hearted but it doesn't look too good. I fear a repeat of the Pellegrini season.

    Foderingham has signed:

    The only way I can think of Johnson chasing the cash is via a sign on bit of wedge..
  • IronHerbIronHerb
    How much is he worth with a couple of years left on a contract? £10m? So if he takes half that as a signing on fee and £30k a week over a 5 year deal then it's £50k a week.
  • BazshuayiBazshuayi
    If Ipswich give him a 5M sign on then the world of football is even more crazy than I previously thought
  • BazshuayiBazshuayi
    Ipswich are sniffing around Hulls Greaves. Will not be impressed if we don't snap him up. Firstly for the qualities he has and secondly, he's the sort that they will sell for a big profit when they get relegated 😗

    THE SUN

    Basketball star Shaquille O'Neal is in talks about taking a stake in West Ham United. 🏀

    THE TIMES

    West Ham United have revived their interest in signing Aaron Wan-Bissaka, who is among the versatile right-backs on their shortlist.
  • WHU_Champo_league_in_7_yearsWHU_Champo_league_in_7_years
    I'd take Bissaka, he is limited going forward but so is Coufal so I think he'd be a good long term replacement

    Think he'd make us look solid at the back, which is what we need after how horribly we defended last year

    Kinda wild that he's still only 26
