Might be slightly optimistic of me but remember the Leicester game at home. Wilf, Olise, Eze all played and we were electric - In fact, I can't think of a more dominant display without scoring. The shots on goal was a record, was it not?

Whilst it's only a small snippet, with all three firing on all cylinders it would be a nightmare for opposition and this is most likely in Parish's thoughts.

If you flip this on it's head and say we are signing a player of Zaha's calibre for £200k a week on a 4 year deal... I have a feeling most fans would be buzzing about it.
My personal view is that Wilf is top 6 in the prem level. The only team he wouldn't walk into is Man City but otherwise would improve every other top 6 team. Wilf has a huge impact on games that wins points for us, even down to how teams set up defensively against him. He occupies 3/4 defenders every time he gets the ball, which allows more space and freedom for the likes of Eze and Olise. No other players in the league garners that much attention.

£200k a week for what would be almost guaranteed premier league football for 4 years - pays for himself to be honest.

You can't be serious.

He is 30 years old.

200k is madness for a club like ours and if he is offered money like this if I was other first team starters I would want close to that as well.

If he is top 6 why has none of them come in for him as soon as it was known he would be a free agent you would expect rather then go out spending they would sign him on a free.

Wilf does not have a hugh impact in positive way look at his stats they are not great and in negative way is correct with his laziness and moaning/losing temper.

Top players do not stay at a club like Palace for 8 years.

He has 0 European football experience and even his National team record is not great.

If he was surrounded by 3/4 defenders as you claim Palace should be walking to ball in for goals you are thinking of old Wilf. (The current Wilf gives the ball away a lot of the time and has no interest in evening having assists last season he had only 2 the year before 1)

Palace need to move on from him

If they did retain him 2 year deal at the most and either the same money is is currently on or a reduction even 130 grand a week is too much.

We don't know if any of the top 6 has come in for him to be honest. We don't really know anything, it's all guesswork and clickbait reports.
I would say, the top 6 won't come in for him based solely around his age and the fact he has just had a few injuries in the last season. Doesn't show much ambition to sign an injured 30 year old from Palace, when the top 6 expectations are to go out and sign the best young players in the world.
Aside from Man City's left hand side and maybe Liverpool's, who would you say is better than Wilf from the top 6? He would start for Man U, Newcastle, Spurs, possibly Arsenal (they were interested only 12 months ago). Would easily get in the current Chelsea team.

Also, stats don't tell the whole story so that's not exactly the best way of looking at his career at Palace.
Firstly, he is someone who causes carnage on the pitch. He scares the life out of defenders, they can't put that into stats.
Secondly, he has played at Palace under Allardyce, Pulis and Roy-ball - none of these periods in Palace's history reflect well for the attacking players in our team when it comes to stats. But who has been the one player that has allowed us to have 10 men behind the ball for all of these managers? The one who when he gets the ball, not only drags us up the pitch but makes things happen?
