I have said for years that a move abroad would suit him best, due to the amount of time he would get on the ball before being tackled & at a big club he would not be the only star. A top coach would, no doubt, improve his final ball & goal return, look what Pep has achieved with Sterling.
He has been outstanding most seasons, & if people don't recognise that there really is nothing to say.

Everyone knows Wilf, is a brilliant player. That in a way is why .we should know it’s time for him to move on.
It wasn’t the Wilf we know and need this year . The manager knows how good he is, but acknowledges Wilf, wants out. No club should fall into the trap of relying on players that won’t give everything for them. Surely Wilf, has made it obvious that’s where he is at.
How good he is, or could be , becomes irrelevant , if he would prefer sulking to performing at his best. We at Palace will always know how good he is. But as with where ever else he plays, we need and deserve a committed Wilf. Remember we pay his inflated wages, it’s not to be judged purely on sentiment.

Tottenham,Barcelona,Everton and Arsenal all linked.
In the Englebert hit,the line " please release me,let me go" seems very appropriate and Wilf,a very loyal servant over many years,should be allowed to leave and follow his dream of competing at the highest level.
No one can begrudge him that.

I thought Wilf was hankering to play at the highest level as in European football. He would have that instantly with Bayern or Barcelona. He certainly wouldn’t get that with Everton or Newcastle.

It will be a big culture shock for Wilf. He will have to get used to being on the bench and being subbed during games, something he's not used to here. Also he will suffer the anger of the fans when he loses the ball, he is not used to that either. Will his dodgy temperament be up to it?

Even if he would go abroad , he would have to sharpen up his general attitude by about 100%. Very few continental clubs Or their players would put up with his whinging , on or off field.
Wilf, wanted Arsenal. He would have to prove himself there, or any of the London, big three, but at least being close to his roots would help him cope with the expectations that are certain to be demanded of him wherever he ends up.

Every time

I think there is a general concensus of opinion.

Wilf has been great for the club he has been one of our own and prior to this season he has been our stand out player. He has often been our only real attacking threat not so much in his finishing but in his ability to keep the ball transitioning defence into attack, providing a much needed outlet for us when we have been under pressure.

When in form for us he has been well worth the asking price we have put on his head at the time.

This season though either through him wanting to move on, our other wing no longer being as strong as it was allowing oppositions to double up more on Wilf, or simply tactics and the way he us being asked to play it is become obvious that like all good things it needs to come to an end for both parties.

It's about us now being brave to let him go and bringing in a new phase of evolution for the club.

Time to cut our losses; he clearly doesn't want to be here anymore and last season was his worst in red and blue. What guts me is that the only way to move him on is to accept a significantly lower bid than we could have got two years ago when we could have used the money to upgrade on some of the no-hopers on our books, e.g. Benteke.

yeah, this!!
