RLACML Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 How come youre so sure? I honestly think he would make the most of any first team game time he can get to perhaps prove himself, which would work in our favour You're right, he could come here and score 15 goals from the wing. He could, but it's very unlikely. If he was sulking at Cardiff, imagine what he would be doing here. It's a no from me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RLACML Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 How is that in any way different to Bamford? The only difference is Zaha's 'flashes of brilliance' are of a higher quality than Bamford's... Absolute nonsense. Zaha's brilliance is a pointless trick on the half way line and then a decent ball into the box. Bamford's was a fantastic finish. Zaha sulks, Bamford is lazy. There's a difference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
admira Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 I watched Zaha in the England U21 game at Portman Morgue and he was incredible.I'd love him at DCFC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree... Bamford's 'moments of brilliance' include at least 2 winners out of nowhere... However it would be interesting to see Zaha playing alongside the array of talent we have in our side.

InigosLeftPeg Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 I'd like to see Lingard come in and play on the wing like he did with Brighton, or GMS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiverSowDog Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Bamford's goals were a real plus, but the only plus as far as I'm concerned (sounds daft I know). The rest of the team carried him for too many of his minutes on the pitch....he's a luxury who will have a place in other teams but he's not what Derby need (back). Although he's better than the current options, he's still not yet good enough to be a genuine CF/striker to push or replace Martin if he becomes injured. More likely he could challenge some of our current wide players, but he's not got the all-round work rate. Dunno about Zaha, I've only seen snapshots like most of us (I'm guessing) have - but what I've seen has been impressive or very promising......I take there is no actual basis for thinking we may get him?

However it would be interesting to see Zaha playing alongside the array of talent we have in our side. And Zaha's would create a chance out of nowhere, similiar in impact on the game, not playing style. Zaha in our side would be immense. Russell-Martin-Zaha is Premier League quality in my opinion.

JackTheRam Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Bamford must be dreaming if he thinks he'll get near to chelsea's starting XI next season.. not a hope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i84est Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 He has certainly split opinion. I wouldn't have him back in our current formation. Would of been good in the commons role basically no work rate stay near the final 3rd and finish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tombo Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 How is that in any way different to Bamford? The only difference is Zaha's 'flashes of brilliance' are of a higher quality than Bamford's... Bamford scored 25 goals in 51 games in all competitions last season. Zaha has only ever scored 13 in his entire career. That's how he's different.

Alph Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 What all the talk about Zaha? Zaha could be very good if he stopped dancing and sulking and showing off. Like Ronaldo years ago and Neymar at times, he seems to think people have turned up to watch him. As soon as he realises that he's not on a playground then he's got great attributes. I know it's nice to see players enjoying themselves but he needs to learn when and where. A manager like Ferguson would be great like he was for Ronaldo. Needs some discipline. But we've never been linked with him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then it turned into a debate about how crap he is, and some people said he'd be better than Bamford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harrowram Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 I would have Bamford back on loan anytime.He was a great impact player and had an additional bit of quality to score goals when were weren't playing particularly well-for example when we beat Brighton at home in January due to Bamford's goal on 80 minutes.He can only improve!

YorkshireRam Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Bamford scored 25 goals in 51 games in all competitions last season. Zaha has only ever scored 13 in his entire career. That's how he's different. I meant similar in impact ie. he can have a quiet game but produce one moment of brilliance that can win a game, in Zaha's case it would be assists rather than goals though.

richinspain Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 So basically, what we're looking for is someone who can provide around 15 goals from the wing like Bamford, with the speed of Zaha, the trickery of GMS, can switch to the middle when necessary to cover for Martin with the same ability to score goals and provide for others,. He's got to be able to track back when we haven't got the ball also. He's got to cost around 500k, but we can perhaps stretch to 700, and his wages need to be around 5k a week. I recon that Chris Evans may have his work cut out, but then again if he can pull it off..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In his best Championship season, he got 8 goals and 9 assists. In 49 games. Just because he's got the ability to make things happen doesn't mean he ever has or ever will. Bamford got 8 goals and 3 assists in half the amount of games. And plenty more of Bamford's games were sub appearances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McRamFan Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 I'd have him back, bugger our current formation, if we have him then we can have several formations and the opposition won't know which one they will be facing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
