Zaha would be a perfect signing.

I dunno about perfect. I'd rather my wingers who rely on pace and trickery to be a bit younger than 31.

Problem is he's only just signed for them. He may be happy there. Plus, he's 31, a few months younger than Danny Ings and will want at least a 3 year contract. That said Gala having signed him on a free might be willing to cash in.

Pretty sure i read Emery wanted him at Arsenal, but the powers that be bought him some other bozo instead.

Would we really go for Zaha now when we could have got him for nothing in the summer?

On the Spurs thing, them getting Werner and a highly rated young centre back so quickly seems a bit at odds with Lange and the way he was here.

Nicolas Pepe for £70m. He was actually pretty decent under Emery, just fell off a cliff in his final season.

No prizes for guessing who he scored his first Arsenal goal against.

loan now I imagine and I doubt a huge fee if we signed him next summer.

Didn't Dybala's wife throw some petrol on the fire? Something about when Martinez said he's been talking us up to Argentinian players, Ian Wright saying 'we' (the EPL) have tried to bring him in and his wife saying 'you didn't try hard enough'. Or should I stop eating cheese before I go to bed?

We can't have another loan.

Yes but it was his girlfriend, Oriana Sabatini.

If we want a right back, Sacha Boey at Galatasaray is available but we need to move quick as PSG want him for €20m.

If we buy him and Zaha they might give us Zaniolo for free.

No idea if he's any good but must be decent if PSG want him and he wouldn't break the bank.

Why would he be free? He signed a three year contract in Turkey I thought.
