Soccer transfer rumors are the funniest things ever.
I remember like 2 years ago there was some stupid *** story that Messi would be bought by Man City for like 250 million quid.
I don't even read them anymore, unless it's from a legitimate source.
I do know the Zaha to Arsenal deal will probably happen, let's see if Wenger can tie that **** up.
I know its just paper talk, but am I the only Arsenal fan who DOESNT want Zaha? Palace are on course for automatic promotion (2nd place currently) and would surely only risk the 50m bonus the jump pays out for a stupid high offer for one of their key players. 20m for a player in the Championship!?
We do not need any more projects, we need game changers, someone to win us points with their brilliance, (ie Arshavin when he arrived to Arsenal) and Zaha is not that.
I'm sick of paying for a handful of average players (10m here, 12m there...) when we could use the same funds to pay for world class players/talents. I'd honestly rather have a skeleton squad (like we've had in the past) where our first XI is really strong with nothing on the bench (maybe one year the stars will align with lack of major injuries) than have a squad full of average players and banking on them to become world beaters/play above their ability.
Here we are sitting 10th and I read about us looking at a 20m player from the championship to save our season.....
