Which of the two would you rather have at our club? Personally I think Brady is going to develop into a top player in the Prem, but I could imagine Zaha just sitting on the bench and then ending up somewhere lower down the league.
From what i've seen of Zaha, it'd have to be Brady. However, I doubt he has the reputation he has for no reason!!
One thing Brady does have is defensive qualities as well, also he is a fiery type who is up for a battle.
Brady has improved so much in a year, I can't wait for this time next year to see if he's moved on further!
I bet if you put this up on a Palace forum the responses would be something like "Brady is ****ing ****" "Zaha is by far the best and most effective player in the league!"
I'd go for Brady. Zaha may be a bit more classy if the hype is to be believed, but Brady has come on so much with his game and you'd think he can only improve further.
Brady, he's a more complete player. Zaha has more trickery and better close ball control. Brady is far more powerful, can challenge in the air, has a better shot on him, great set pieces, better crosser, can stick a foot in and gets involved physically. It's the trickery and technique which costs the money though.
