could be structured that way instead of buying and being loaned back to protect us in case the lad gets a serious injury between now and the end of the season?

I doubt he would be having a medical today if he wasn't signing until the summer. I just don't see the point of that

Palace's official website states "Wilfried has been immediately loaned back to Crystal Palace for the remainder of the 2012/13 season."

just funny wording on ours then

I read somewhere last week that a manager in the Championship wanted the "buy and loan back" deal investigated to make sure it was in the rules. Maybe the deal has been adrees for July to protect Palace until then.

Hence:

Manchester United, Crystal Palace and Wilfried Zaha have reached an agreement for the player to join Manchester United in July 2013.

So he hasn't actually signed, it's a pre-agreement. I would imagine that the medical is for deeper rooted issues...

He's having two medicals.

One today before the loan and one in the summer in case there is a new injury before then.

Seems like it Shrugs

Probably similar to when Smalling signed

There was a Palace fan on the radio this morning who has been watching them since the 70s and he said he is the best player he has ever seen playing for Palace by far.

Not bad praise considering Wrigthy played for them

He also went on to say opposition teams have been putting 3 players on him to keep him in check this season so obviously he has been suffocated somewhat.

I remember when the opposition used to do that with a young Ryan Giggs

The more I hear about this guy the more I like the sound of him and at only 20, he still has bags to learn too.

We could have a wee gem on our hands without us even knowing it.

Fingers crossed that's the case

He'll bring the fancy tricks and exciting play back to United, especially since Nani is never around these days!

High hopes for the guy.

Over rated, bad player, seen him play over 15 times dont see the hype. SAF is losing the plot and needs to retire before he does more damage.

Probably be 4 players now he is a UTD player.

All eyes will be on him until the summer... Alot of pressure and i'm sure alot of our fans will be tuning in to any Palace game and perpetuating any myths, if he has a bad game.

Fergie out

We are in serious danger of winning the league this season..

posted on 25/1/13

Fergie only wants to buy Zaha to wum Wenger

posted on 25/1/13

All seriousness though. He looks like he has pace and likes to take a player on. Good couple of years spent on the end product we could have a decent player on our hands.

He was really good against us in the league cup a few years ago. Very excited we got him.

Don't forget Ronaldo's end product wasn't great to start with but in time it improved and now look at him! Not saying Zaha is the next Ronaldo but time is obviously on his side

Exactly.

And SAF is good at picking attacking players so I have no doubt he will be good.

"Why do people think Fergie will get the best out of Zaha ? He didnt with Pique, Rossi, Forlan? Not as good as Wenger at it."

Thing is, they won't be able to put 3 players on him at United. Too much quality elsewhere in our team.
