Zaha

Looks like we’re going to be losing Willian - what do you think of replacing him with Zaha. I read that due to the pandemic Crystal Palace might be willing to accept £30M for him (although who knows if that’s true). We have Pulisic, CHO and Ziyech for those wide positions - and we probably need another winger even though Werner could play as a wide second striker if needed. Personally I think £30M for him would be a steal, and I’d take him in a heartbeat.

I know we need a goalkeeper and defenders as our highest priority - but I’d love Zaha too.

May as well have bought Boga as a cheaper backup

Nah.

Ziyech, Werner & Havertz is enough new attackers in one window, anymore and team fluidity (especially with a short pre-season) will take awhile. Even if CHO was loaned out having Ziyech, Pulisic & Havertz as RW options is fine.

Plus, never rated him, not gunna lie.

Think after Havertz, the defence and goalkeeping situation will be the prioirity.

Alaba would be incredible. I’d love him - but I just can’t see him making the move to Chelsea.
Zaha, however, is a realistic target, even if a winger is less of a priority right now. If we do sign Havertz, I see him playing centrally behind the striker - so we would probably still use 2 wingers per game. I just think this is another great opportunity.
And Devil, you may not rate him, but I suspect that means you haven’t watched our games against Crystal Palace. He terrifies me every time he gets the ball. I’d love him to do that for us.

Would be slightly ironic replacing Willian with Zaha seeing that both have quite poor goalscoring records given their ability.

I'd definitely take Zaha for £30 million if that's true. Doubt it is though

If we were to sign him i think Cho would be going the other way on loan.

Not a bad shout at all. Would definitely sweeten the deal for Palace.

Like we did with RLC - could do him good. I have a feeling Frank is going to want 4 wide players in the squad though, so not sure he would approve.
