Anyone know the structure of this supposed deal? The last offer was apparently 35+addons making it 50m I thought we were wanting more of the 50m up front. If it's 40m up front then 15m addons, it may not be so good - and will give us less ability to spend... Please forgive my slowness on the uptake, but why is "40m up front then 15m addons" not so good as "35 +addons making it 50m"?

A deal isn't a deal until it's announced. However, I think it's Bissaka this season and Zaha next. Why do you think that? Zaha leaving is a long running soap opera.

I've always felt that for Zaha it was this window of he'd stay more or less the rest of his career. He's 27 in November so you'd think he'd either move for big money this window or will clubs be put off spending the kind of money we would want for someone pushing 28? You look at the largest fees in the past and they tend to be for players 25 and under with the exception of a couple of world class players. At 25/26 you're paying for a player who will have the best years of their career ahead of them, at 28 you're looking more at 3 years and especially a player like Wilf who relies on explosive power and pace. CR7 is the exception to this who has looked after himself phenomenally well, but otherwise, for a buying club, Wilf will have less peak years the longer we hold on to him.

If the £55m-60m figure is true then I hope the board reinvests it wisely. No stupidly big money signings but shrewd quality signings where they're desperately needed. Although during pre-season I'd also like to see promising youngsters a chance to prove they deserve a chance in the first team this season too. Mostly Kirby.

I think Kirby should be getting a sniff.....I was also impressed by the little we saw of Sam Woods.

If you're going with the anti-logic of how good our defence was back then, why not go the whole hog? We had Jim Cannon and Sansom back in 1979/80, we were ok then so we should be ok this season without AWB. What a load of tripe. Interestingly, a talented full back left us at the end of that season and guess what happened the next season?

Interestingly, a talented full back left us at the end of that season and guess what happened the next season? Nah he was a Mathias Sammer type sweeper. Excellent range of passing, strong, physical, but lacking a bit of pace. I am no fan of Joel Ward but he can do a job back there. We didnt get relegated yet as far as I recall with Wardy playing right back. This is good business from Parish if what I am reading is correct and the initial fee is over 50 mil. The lad is absolute class but he is still not proven over season after season. That will come in time I am sure, but Parish is smart enough to know sometimes a player does go backwards instead of forwards with their development, and the hype dies down. He is still very young, and this is a lot of dosh. End of the day we need the benjamins so this should allow us to keep Zaha now for sure for this season at least. [Tweet Link]
