Ornstein states an option we’re considering is to sell Auba to Man Utd to raise funds to buy one of the best wingers in the league, albeit strengthening a rival at the same time.

Interesting idea, we have 2 quality strikers but they can’t always get in the starting 11 together and we’re sorely lacking quality on the wings.
If you were in charge, would you do that deal? 3 star yes, 4 star no.
2 star if you’d prefer to sell Torreira to AC Milan instead to raise the funds for Zaha
Poll - Sell Auba Buy Zaha?

He's overrated a fair bit because he's English and at Palace.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
He's Ivorian. If anything transfer fee should be reduced as we will lose him to the ACON every 2 years.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
He came over to England age four though (had to wiki that), came through football as a youth in England, even represented England at youth and in a couple of Friendlies.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yep, still Ivorian though I seem to recall him having a choice between us and the Ivory Coast and he picked them.

Probably because he's knows he'd struggle to make the England side which kinda helps illustrate the fact he's not that great

Thats a big jump. Far more likely that he developed far better than he was showing as a youth player. Zaha is far better than Lingard, Alli etc. I think he would get in ahead of them. Its why Spurs have also showed an interest.

Lingard is awful so who cares. Ali? Nah he's up until now been far superior although his form has dropped.
Sancho and Sterling will be our wingers long term I guess

Oh didn't realise have been caught up in the cricket and Women's football. Thanks for the info, assume it will remain in June for the foreseeable future? It wasn't moved due to it being cooler in June for the host nation or something as a one off? I remember previous years where we'd lose players for lengthy spells within the season and they'd always come back knackered.
