    Thats bloody great! If Zaha doesn't like it then he will have to deal with it with the club. This is typical of the transfer market's power to disrupt clubs and the FA need to really look at closing the window before season starts. Clubs need to be settled with everyone on the right page. 2-3 points can make or break fortunes at seasons end and being able to wade in and **** up teams for the first few games of a season is bang out of order.

    Nothing wrong with honesty and at least you know he will be trying to prove a point instead of thinking he has made it money wise.

    Very unfortunate for Pied if it's serious. Calum Chambers is still available on loan, heh; the football gods demand it.

    This seems to be their modus operandi - as we've seen with several of our players and Berahino in the past...

    Levy is a horrible little man.

    He's not much different Reed IMO. Wants best for his club, we've gone in late with some purchases. They've been targeted late in transfer windows in the past (Man U for Berbatov). Fans are fickle.

    It's not the "going in late." I think Les conducts our business very well. You really think Les is like Levy in trying to undermine clubs and the way they seem To go about things?

    Of course they want the best for their clubs but that's about it. I think Les is miles away from Levy.

    Palace aren't the first club to complain about Levy.

    Except our business isn't splashed all over the sports websites as soon as we make a move on a player. We've been after Boufal for a while and only when a fee is agreed or close to being agreed does it get reported in the press. Levy uses the media as a way of trying to force a move and making the player unsettled. He's a complete arsehole.

    Zaha needs to think seriously about his actions. Not only did Crystal Palace produce him, but they also took him back after things went pear-shaped at Old Trafford. The club obviously cares a lot about him and respects him. He is being a complete moron if he just decides to demand a transfer on the back of a Daily Mail story. And he's not even that good.

    By implication from Puel......I think Saints fans also had a hand in persuading him to stay...........

    This says a lot about the type of person he is (or seems to be). One reason why I wouldn't want us to sign him.

    I did sort of think that too. I'm going to believe that anyway because it fees good :)

    Just picking an argument, but his attitude is exactly the attitude that has seen Luke, Shaw, Callum Chambers, Adam Lallana, Theo Walcott, Alex Oxlade Chamberlain, Gareth Bale and Ricky Lambert up sticks and **** off. Can't see much difference but I'm a very long way away.

    You're only using one aspect - leaving a club. I'm on about the "type of person" he comes across as. He has often alone across as a bit of a dick head and thinks he's a bit of a play boy. You ever seen Rickie Lambert behave like that? Theo? Bale? Even Lallama? Etc, etc.

    Just to re-iterate, my comment was about how I see him come across as a person, NOT how he leaves a club or not.

    Your picking an argument without realising what the discussion was about :)

    Well he certainly got his argument. Is this going to be the five minute one or the full half an hour?

    Fair enough but I can only go on the original post about the cub being good to him and your response. I'm not that famiilar with his back story.
