Zaha seems like a self-centred, bad for dressing room morale type (but possibly it's all for show and he's a lovely chap off the pitch).

Spoke to a young Palace fan on a bus from Kilmarnock to Darvel a few years ago. He claimed that his sister had dated Zaha. He also said he had been sent up to Ayrshire from south London to stay out of trouble. I believed the second bit, but not the first.

My brother in law and his kids are big Palace fans following them everywhere. My nephew was a mascot an Anfield a few years ago and my niece is in love with Zaha, they've got to know a him a bit and from what they've said a nd shown me he's a lovely bloke.

Unsurprisingly being linked with Samuel Chukwueze of Villarreal.

Every player I've seen linked since Emery signed screams of lazy links, 'two plus two equals' type of faded stars or players from his former club.

Anyone would think we don't have a recruitment department.

Yep that’s how I view it.

On Zaha, he came across really well on the Palace Academy documentary on Ch 4 recently. He's the sort of player that you love when he's yours but not when he isn't.

If it's true, and Emery wants him, then I'm all for it.

So a bit like how other fans might view Emi Martinez?

Club shop has got loads of C, H, U, K and W shirt letters to shift since we sold Carney. Smart move, although we will have to buy in some Zs.

Could make our own Zs. Just show a couple of Gerrard era games and we'll have thousands of the bloody things.

Nah - we sold the letters to Chelsea - it was 5m for Carney and 15m for all the rare letters

The jury is still out on Lange as far as I’m concerned. I’m not expecting many signings in January, but it will be interesting to see how his relationship with Emery develops, and how he performs over the next two windows.

Doesn't the £120m spend from the 19/20 season drop off the 3-year FFP radar this summer? If so, with the net spend being considerably less in the last two seasons with us actually receiving transfer income, we should have a decent budget.

Unless they've blown it all on wages, golden handshakes, and lion reorientation modelling.

That's not quite how it works. A spend of however much doesn't directly affect FFP. What matters is that you're only allowed certain losses (£105m from memory) over a three year period. So if you buy a player for £100m and pay him £5m a year over five years, then your accounts will be hit for £20m amortisation (Zzzzzzzzz) a year for five years, and £5m wages a year, both of which are costs in the accounts and reduce profits/increase losses. I think Wesley for example is on a five year contract, so his wages will have been costing us every year since.
