Easily the best I have ever seen play for palace in my life. I think he’s an excellent player and has his head screwed on relatively well. I love the fact he gets fired up and plays with passion, you can see how much it means every time he scores. I think we should have let him go at the end of last year it would have been better for all parties but even after the disappointment he never went on strike or anything like that. He had a poor season by his standards but was still one of our most important players and without him I think we would have gone down. We were shocking for large parts of last season. . He obviously cares about the community and does a fair amount of charity work both here and in his home country. The amount of grief he gets online and in the stands is ridiculous. When he does eventually go I will hope he has all the success he deserves. In the meantime I’m gonna enjoy watching him play.

he's a big fish in a small pond, that's obvious and he needs to move on.... achieve his potential or realize he had it made at palace. personally I can only see him winning something as a squad player... what I find really bizarre is the team looks really promising around him now... a striker this window and its exciting times. however, if he goes it means we got space/cash for two more signings.
This was once a quality forum.... |

Couldn’t give a monkeys where he goes or what happens if he does. I think he’s the biggest hype job the premier league has ever seen. Not saying he’s a bad player, but over all the games he’s played for us, the ratio of him turning up hasn’t been good enough.

Seems a strange one ? Giving Wilf so much playing time for club and player with injury risk that could jeopardize any move .Personally think he will stay due to lack of buyers .

The issue to be fair with wilf is that he plays in a set up that defends deep, where he is expected to track back, we then attack from deep positions, wilf and bennie are then expected to hold the ball up, hence the reason he goes sideways and seems to slow play up, but yes he annoys the hell out of me with his petulant reactions

One team I cannot are buying Wilfred is the Arse. Arteta seems to be a strict manager and can’t see him putting up with Wilfred’s temperment, plus I’m not sure he would get in the team. The only English team in the running seems to be Everton. Can’t see why anyone who craves top class football would go there.

I don't feel the love for wilf that I have for Murray AJ Clinton who I feel all overachieved for us whereas wilf has so much more ability than all of those but mentally he's not mature enough it's a shame although at times he's been electrifying for us really put it on some of the best team's in the league city Chelsea Liverpool arsenal etc I would definitely say he's the most naturally talented player we have had in my 40 odd years of supporting palace I don't include Judas in this for the record I don't think he will move now the ship has sailed

This debate about Zaha is certainly one of the most interesting on this site.

If it is a bid of £40m coming from Everton I would just take it. They are well known for spending huge amounts of money although surely they have an identical player in Richarlison, except he is better.
