I don’t agree with comparing him with mbappe, he’s extremely talented but still young and playing in a squad filled with stars in a below par league.

Neither would I, Im just saying Griezy is touted around like the signing would be some crazy coup that would transform a team singe handily (like mbappe would)... When in reality I could see Griezy being very underwhelming like Higuain or Pedro...
 
Is Zaha a £100m player?

depends how you assess value. too many times, people line up players "as all things being equal" without taking into consideration key factors namely:

1. how old the player is
2. potential resale value
3. marketability
4. whether the player wants to go/the club want to sell (e.g. D. Costa and Courtois)
5. how long their existing contract is (Hazard may be touted at £86m and Zaha £80m, but one can leave for free within 12 months and the other has 4 years left on their contract)
6. the value and contribution to that club. For example 17/18 season, without Zaha it can be easily argued Palace would have went down. Don't have the stats but their win % was shite when he was injured, plus his goals/assists versus the team total is ridiculous. taking the fact that he may be the reason for palace staying up (and relegation is worth how much?), there's a reason why palace value him as such - doesn't mean they'll be able to sell him for that price (MV solid £50-60m)
7. Apparently United have a sell-on clause worth £15m. So if Zaha sold for £80m then it's £65m Palace, £15m United

Yo I thought he was Man United's player of the season though?!

'They are ahead in the pecking order': Southgate reveals Man United defender Shaw was omitted from England squad due to form of Chilwell and Rose

When asked if it was a tough choice, Southgate said: 'No. Ben Chilwell and Danny Rose have been excellent for us so they are ahead in the pecking order. But it gives us a lot of good options.'

Damn, Southgate gave Shaw the...

I'm sorry but he isn't worth £100m. And UTD have a 20% sell on clause, the papers just write 15m as based on him being sold for 80m. Really UTD should be able to pick him up for 50m
 
I didnt think Zaha fancied himself at a top6 side... He tried his chance at United and wanted to go back to Palace and then choose to sign long contract extension only a couple months ago... I always thought he was better being the big man at a 'small' club rather than another player at a big club....

He only played 4 games for Utd. And he only signed a new deal so Palace get paid when it's time for him to leave.
