Zaha missed out?

Not a dig. It's a sincere question. After United, should he have still got a "bigger" club at some point?

If he has missed out? What has caused it? The fees that Palace might have charged?

Does he have a reputation that precedes him?

Apparently Rio Ferdinand has once said on BT Sports that Zaha did not train hard enough.

Perhaps he genuinely wasn't ambitious enough?

I cannot believe he lacked talent.

Zaha lacks ambition. Either that or he is being held hostage by Palace.

He's too good for them and is wasting his peak years there.

Don't mean to be disrespectful to Villa but Grealish will be the same unless he moves on soon.

He is good at `winning penalties`, I am surprised Penited let him go

Timing, lack of ambition, questionable application.

imo Zaha has missed out as he stunk the place out at utd and has blown hot and cold all the time at palace.


he also signed a massive contract in 2018 with palace so wants for nothing. big fish small pond.

he had his chance to for e a move if he wanted and didn't.

Didn’t Palace essentially price him out of a move?
I think he’s said himself that he was “depressed” in Manchester, the club sorted a house for him but it was nowhere near his team mates, didn’t sort out a car for him (normal for clubs to give players cars?) and that he just didn’t feel comfortable in his surroundings.

He also wasn’t getting game time, and there was that mad rumour (which Evra casually referred to live on Sky a few months ago ) with Zaha and Moyes’ daughter.

I agree with mf regarding his contract. He signed a big contract with Crystal Palace at the most important moment of his career. He wanted to leave, and other clubs were interested in signing him. But he was tied to CP unless someone was prepared to stump up a huge fee. That was his and his agent’s fault. He’s still a great player, and when his contract with Palace ends he may still be able to play at the highest level for another 1-2 years.
