Roy needs to drop him. Stop playing him. At the moment he is holding the club to ransom. It will concentrate his mind if he is not getting picked!!
If he is going we need to prepare without him anyway.
You might have got 80 million 2-3 years ago in an inflated market, but you would be lucky to get anywhere near half that now.
He'll end up at Leicester or Everton and in the same boat he is in now except away from home.
He is not good enough for Champions League football - nowhere near.


If we get Fraser and with Eze, Ayew, Schlupp (and if necessary Benteke) as the rest of our attacking force, we could play a different system and leave Wilf on the bench. We still need attacking back-up, of course.

It will be interesting to see whether Wilf plays again on Saturday and/or the Millwall game. Eze will need time to adjust to the Palace way but hopefully will make the Brondby game.

What's the betting Wilf gets one of those mysterious injuries, that all players get prior to leaving/disiplined?

 


This operation, will make the 'Charge Of The Light Brigade' seem like a simple military exercise.

Not leaving for the money. Not leaving for Champions League. Not sure why he wants to go so badly. I wish him well, but not sure the new fans will be quite so pleased if he puts in the same effort as last year.

Here's my prediction - he plays opening day and gets himself sent off. James Ward-Prowse has him in his pocket every game. They will target him and take turns to foul him and Wilf will totally lose it - does it all the time against Saints and Watford.

Unfortunately he has lost the will to stick it to them by showing them what he can do with the ball.

Why we still play Wilf I don’t know, he’s performances in games clearly show his lack of interest, his attitude is shocking, just want him gone ,don’t care where and for how much. If he stays which looks distinctly likely and he stilll works to rule what love the fans still have for him could wear very thin and he may find the fans turning on him.

I love Wilf - I think he is one of the finest, if not the finest, to ever wear the shirt. Sadly last season he let himself and the team down (in my opinion).

As I understand it we received a £40K bid from Arsenal which was payable over 4 or 5 seasons and a marginally better bid from Everton. As he is our star player i am not surprised those bids were rejected. The perception was that he then sulked his way through the season.

I don't know what he was promised when he signed his contract the previous season so maybe he was entitled to be aggrieved.

Although I would have to say that if he signed a new contract as a kindness to the club, protecting his valuation and did not see fit to build in suitable release clauses then his advisors are frankly crap and I do think he is badly advised.

Personally I want this saga to be resolved during this window. Stay Wilf and be a big fish in a relatively small pond (but if we show some ambition in the window the pond could grow) or go, with the blessing of most true fans provided the fee is a fair one. But the grass is not always greener (remember MU).

 


Some people think football is a matter of life and death. I don't like that attitude. I can assure them it is much more serious than that.

If the refs were half as good as Wilf then we would have gained a few more points last season. Hopefully we will get a reasonable offer and he will go somewhere else and maybe come back for a swansong. I only hope if he moves it won't be to BHA or WHam.

 


Enjoying getting up later and not having someone who knows better than me (apart from the missus of course).

That would be Dowiesque and unlikely. Although, never say never.

I live in hope that the acquisition of attacking players will inspire Wilf to show his stuff.

Surely he must realise that good performances will up his value and the attraction of bids. Or is he a bit dense?

If it doesn't then I'm all for putting him on the bench.

Incidentally, could it take the pressure off Benteke and rekindle his long lost goal scoring habit?

 


I have now sufficient funds to last me the rest of my life. Provided I don't buy anything.

That could well happen.

What Wilf needs to realise is that - Yes, you can go when someone makes an offer. I'm afraid there are no offers! If he was as good as he thinks he is or was held in high regard then offers would be flooding in - He ain't.

I have said to my pals and supporters of other clubs through the years that when you watch Wilf week in and out you will see that he is not as good as the highlight reels on YouTube would make you believe but that doesn’t mean he is not an amazing football talent.

There are so many aspects needed to make it to the very top in football and unfortunately for him he is lacking in a lot of them, especially when it comes to his personality and how easy it is for him to be wound up. I can’t remember the last player iv seen in this division to be in constant running battles with opposition fans, players and referees and no top club is going to put up with that because it is a major flaw. If you are going into every game thinking the whole world is against me and you have a point to prove it is only going to act as a negative.

That being said I hope he stays because he is the best attacking player at our club by a country mile and he is the only player we have who is capable of some magic with the ball. I’v no idea where fans are getting that he is a disruptive influence on our team in the dressing room or that he sulks on match days. In my eyes he gives all he can but he is just not as good as a lot of people think he is and he is not as good as he thinks he is but he is still our best player.
