Surely if zaha is worth 15 mil then Aluko must be the same? In my opinion Aluko is far better. Please discuss??
Difficult to say. Ive seen Aluko 20+ times. Ive seen Zaha once. Not really comparing like for like either, it's Apples and Pears.
It's because Zaha is only very young, although I agree how teams aren't looking at Aluko is a bit barmy.
Is there though? Liverpool tried to get him for 6 million and a deal hasn't been agreed so maybe Blackpool are holding out for a similar figure to Zaha
Thing about Zaha is with good defenders he will struggle. James Chester had him in his pocket for the whole game at the KC. He simply put a few HARD but fair challenges in and Zaha spent most his time on his arse moaning to the ref that someone had taken the ball away from him and he didn't like it! In the end he swapped wings. Whether he succeeds at United will depend on whether he can learn to combat this. I seem to remember Paul Ince being taken to United from West Ham with similar talents. Fergie got him in the gym, added beef to him and turned him into one of the country's best midfield enforcers (the Guv'nor). Not saying he will turn Zaha into a defensive midfielder but I bet the player you see now will be a million miles away from where he is in two years time at United.
But if he ever plays for Man Utd in the premier league will he get more time on the ball therefore enabling him to shine more than in the Championship where defenders often get tighter? Still, if he tries some of his tricks against teams like Stoke he is likely to get snapped in half
From what I read Liverpool offered £5m and Blackpool want £8m. The problem is Blackpool owe Liverpool 30% of any profit.
& danced past 5 defenders in the last minute, making them look like statues. But for a fabulous save from Stockdale, he would have been a matchwinner after contributing not a lot all game
Zaha was awful, Aluko and Ince are far better. Zaha reminded me of Taarabt when he cried at the match between us and DQPR at the KC a couple of Seasons back.
Precisely. But that was because Alex Bruce (and I rate Bruce highly at this level) isn't a patch on James Chester. Zaha has what it takes at this level. But if he is to succeed in the Prem he will need to add things to his game.
Blackpool want at least £8.5m for Ince as 35% of the fee goes back to Liverpool and it seems they haven't bid over £6m so far. There's also rumours of Swansea bidding over £7m for him in the next week, so there's a chance of a bidding war.
Maybe the fact zaha has declared himself for England rather than Aluko who plays for Nigeria. English players are always more expensive for some reason which is why there is so many foreigners. Not sure if that's right or bollocks
I would like to see him go to Swansea, would fit in well there and be a very good replacement for Scott Sinclair
