I kind of agree, but would he be happy to accept a super sub role?
I watched the game yesterday and it was evident that Kamada is an intelligent and neat footballer but he doesn't go past people.
In the absence of Olise it would be useful to have another player who can beat his man.
Sarr can do this through pace, but less so through trickery and footwork.
Therefore I can see the advantage of having another Zaha type in the squad which could also take some of the pressure of Eze which was demonstrated so effectively when both Olise and Eze were on the field.

This operation, will make the 'Charge Of The Light Brigade' seem like a simple military exercise.

But can Zaha do that these days? One player we already have who can (once he's fit again) is Franca.

That's why I referred to having a 'Zaha type' player in the squad as the central point is that it would be useful to have another individual with clever footwork who can go past people.
Franca may be that guy in time but with his injury and lack of pre season it may be a while before he gets the opportunity to get up to speed.
Perhaps a proposed 1 year loan for Zaha is to buy the club some time so that Franca gets another year to develop and it can be seen how JRS gets on assuming he goes on loan.

Did we not sign Olise as the wilf replacement?

Whilst we've moved on from this it always amazes me how people interpret things differently.

Olise and Wilf played together for 1 season so not sure how he can be considered a replacement.

Also Olise plays on the right and in the last few years Wilf has played predominantly on the left.

As Olise was bought in as Townsend was released and the two play in the same position (and are both left footed right wingers) surely Olise was a Townsend replacement. Not sure how any other conclusion can be made.

Just playing devil's advocate

Wilf was such an important player to us, replacing him:

Was never about a like-for-like position replacement, more trying to replace the impact to the team

Was always going o be like succession planning, bring someone in well before he leaves, so give us a year or so to assess if they can fill the void, or we need to go back into the market

Nostalgia, in a fast moving business we cannot be silly sentimental fools. We are a business,I hope,first and foremost.

Just to clarify Wilf apparently is leicester bound.
