Maybe I'm being mad but can anyone explain why if a country closes it's transfer window, they can't also stop outgoings to other counties? Although unlikely, losing Wilf outside the window would be hell It's a prem rule not a FIFA/UEFA one. Why would the club accept any offer for Zaha? Too late to use the money now and barring a freak injury will still be worth as much if not more next year and he's on a long contract.

Also, can't lone deals still be done after the window shuts? I was thinking the same thing. I am not certain but I understand today's deadline is for permanent signings. What the deadline is for loan signings this window I simply do not know.

BREAKING NEWS Tottenham will not be making a further bid today for Aston Villa midfielder Jack Grealish, Sky Sports News understands. Hope this doesn't mean they will now turn their attentions to Zaha It may mean Spurs haven't got the money due to their new stadium as has been discussed on this thread earlier. Given the Fulham owner Khan's offer to buy Wembley from the FA and possibly move his NFL team in that may threaten one of Spuds expected revenue streams. Good news for Palace!

They've got a 10 year deal with the NFL. 1 game this year, 2 or more, for each year after.

They've got a 10 year deal with the NFL. 1 game this year, 2 or more, for each year after. However, if their medium and/or long term plan is for the projected London franchise to play at White Hart Lane than the Khan deal for Wembley may scupper that. One or two or even three games a year isn't all that much and the NFL isn't the most trustworthy partner. If Khan does buy Wembley and moves the Jaguars there he'll own the territorial rights to London and could cut into Spuds income from that arrangement. Don't underestimate the NFL's ability to unilaterally change any "deal" they may make. Cities in this country have learned to regret that foolishness. See San Diego, which sold its soul for a Super Bowl, and St. Louis as two of many examples.

Scheduling is tight enough as it is when you have Europe and cups to deal with on top of the league games. I can't see Khan getting his hands on Wembley either but it's the only stadium that would make sense to be a home stadium for an NFL team. During the NFL season the FA only need Wembley for 2 Saturdays. Twickenham, which is the other one they play at, has England playing there for 4 consecutive weeks during it.

The thing is the pitch/field are on interchangeable trays from what I've read. That means the football pitch wouldn't be used for gridiron. Also, if they do get an NFL franchise it would restrict the Premier League from scheduling them at home on Sundays since the time it takes to change field/pitch trays is too long. As for Khan getting Wembley I hope you're right but the FA has never really turned down a big payday even when it's to their detriment. Meanwhile, Garth Crooks must have a whole lot of egg on his face for that crack about Wilf being gettable by Spuds for £70 million. Edited by kenbarr (09 Aug 2018 3.57pm)

This post has been merged from a topic called 'The Wilfried Zaha Thread' by Midlands Eagle You've got to think that if it wasn't for the bad experience a few years back, Man U would have be in with a monster bid for him as they want to make a splash somehow and don't seem to be able to They still have the chance to move Martial to a top European club, Zaha would provide width they don't really have at the moment and, although he would have to play more on the right, that was a regular occurrence when Bolasie was here. It might also have made that Pogba deal a bit more attractive. That had a CD in it, with Mina ,which they now appear unlikely to sign

This post has been merged from a topic called 'The Wilfried Zaha Thread' by Midlands Eagle For a week up until the beginning of this week I’ve heard so many tw&ts on the radio saying ‘He’s got to leave Palace.’ He’s got to leave to play at a higher level of because he lose oxygen in Croydon and Beckenham? These will be the same idiots who’ll rip into him if it doesn’t work out or he sits on the bench for over 80% of his time or comment he’s not a big club player and possibly he shouldn’t have joined a big club. The media is full of idiots now there’s very few I’ll take notice of apart from a few recent retirees in Danny Murphy and Gary Neville’s time.
