    Expect Crystal Palace to be strong in the second half of the season.
    Man U and Spurs are the favourites to get Zaha, but both are willing to loan him back to Palace for the rest of the season.
    Although Palace are looking for £20million it's expected he'll go for around half that but both EPL teams are also willing to offer CP other loans to get him.
    So instead of being weakened Palace may well end up getting £10million to spend, keeping Zaha and getting a few decent loanees.

    I honestly dont see how he is worth so much. Sure he has potentially, but in all the games I have seen he has only shone in one of them (and I cant even remember who it was against!)

    At our place, MACCA had him in his back pocket! Which is no slight on McShane, but he isnt blessed with pace now is he!

    A sign of a good player is producing a bit of magic even if you aren't playing well. Zaha has done this every time I have seen him, he nearly won the game @ our place in the final minute after been marked out of the game for 90 mins

    Palace are unpredictable, I don't think Zaha will play as well if he's back there on Loan. Hopefully Bolasie leaves as well.

    Palace will be the team to watch though as they are the ones that are either going to slip out of the picture or really begin to push.

    You could say that about anyone. Manucho actually won us a game against Fulham, did that make him a decent player?

    I think the top 5 are pretty much nailed on. I think Cardifff will win the league, but they'll have sicky spell. Palace will finish fift. IMO we will pip Leicester in second.

    Currently I can see 2nd being between us and Leicester, but it all depends on form. We're both in great shape at the moment. A team could "do a Reading" for all we know.

    It should be "Doing a Hull". We went from 13th to 3rd from January onwards with Fraizer Campbell and Deano partnership.

    We did it first!

    Zaha produces bits of magic consistently, Manucho certainly didn't

    I bet this is bollocks, papers are always speculating about these deals where players get loaned back but how often does it actually happen in English football? Can't see SAF wanting to spend £15m or whatever on a youngster just for him to stay in the Championship. Especially as he'd be capable of playing for a lower Prem team.

    We can close the gap on Cardiff this weekend as i feel that Ipswich may just do a Peterboro on them or at least grab a draw.

    Next week Leicester v. Middlesboro Live on sky friday 18th so something will have to give in that game.

    With 2 wins against the Wendies and Posh i think that a bigger gap will open up between 2nd and 3rd spot. imo.
