What price for Zaha would be too tempting?

£60/70 million would be a decent price right now, but if we sell Wilf for anything but a mind-blowing price, then we'll be going backwards as a club. We should be looking to grow as a team to meet Wilf's level, rather than letting him out-grow us, admitting we're not that good and letting him go.

The whole situation has changed from years ago, when we needed to sell to survive.

Im glad Parish runs the club reading some of these posts feeling maybe we should sell Wilf. And I’ve been accused of Parish bashing (transfer deadline timing and expansive football decisions to be precise). Therefore I’m not in the slightest bit concerned until a massive club come in with an offer Wilf wants to accept and Parish is ok with the fee.

Played 10 w0 d0 l10. That's how many games we played without Zaha in the team last season. He lifts the whole team when he plays and we are a match for any side. So to us us he should be priceless unless we get an offer where we could rebuild the whole team. £200 million but no team is going to pay that. £60 million is paltry and we'll end up with has beens. He lifts the fans the player's the manager every time he plays, whether he has a good game or not. He really is our Gerrard.

We simply cannot sell him, unless he refuses to play for us again (which won't happen anyway). Does make me laugh when the papers say Everton are interested in him. As if he would be interested in them.

We cannot of course prevent other clubs showing an interest in Zaha and submitting bids for him. I happen to believe that IF we happen to accept a £60 Mill offer for Zaha and he decides to sample 'Pastures new, gladitorial hostility and more eruptions than Vesuvius will be aimed in the direction of Mr Parish.

Surprised people think of 60 millions for Wilf. Absurd as it sounds that's paltry. Wan Dyck for 75 millions to Liverpool - he is very good defender but so what. We have to replace Delaney, Loftus-Cheek and Fosu for starters just to remain as of last match against West Brom. To avoid the annual relegation battle RH will insist on another 2/3 quality signings on top, but where from as the market was dead in January. Money does not grow on trees, something has got to give.

The story her is that Marcel Brands from PSV Eindhoven has signed for them. As director of football that is. Originally posted by Midlands Eagle
That story is probably made up as Everton currently have no manager or director of football so who is making these so called decisions?

He'd be a huge loss to us but if Everton are reportedly willing to offer £60m his value will soar in any bidding frenzy. Would certainly cover the ground's development but where would the club be without its talisman? I think that price quoted is largely misleading, Everton wont be forking out 60m on one player after their large expenditures last summer, unless they have any significant outgoings. As mentioned, he is practically irreplaceable, you would only really sell if you had a ready made replacement, and for that quality it will cost you 70m+. On top of that we'd want extra to strengthen elsewhere, and the fact he is tied down LT. I really dont see us entertaining any offers south of 70m!

I have absolutely no idea who we'd replace him with to get that same level of impact, or the confidence that the big money signing wouldn't be a comparative flop. For me, that makes him fairly priceless. If we were offered £70m, I guess you'd take it. Then probably sign Shaqiri and use the remainder to sign a couple of top players who you'd hope hit the ground running and move us up a level. Priceless is priceless “without price; beyond money”. No such thing as “fairly” priceless, and if we would indeed take £70m, then he isn’t priceless.

The whole situation has changed from years ago, when we needed to sell to survive. One reason is that you want to upgrade on the other players. One argument for keeping Zaha is that when he is injured we lose. If all your eggs are in 1 basket you are risking trouble if he had a Dann/Puncheon/Sako setback. He is after all the target man for the opposition The problem, as other posters have, is getting the right players. If the January window was intended to upgrade side rather than making sure we had squad players, that is not too encouraging. I'd say, overall, since Holloway the transfers have been reasonably successful
