I can’t believe you’re serious. We’re talking about a player who scored 4 goals and managed 3 assists in the entire season! There’s no way any top club are going to be interested in him with those kind of stats. Maybe his finishing has never been great but how can a player assist goals when he is double/tripled mark every game, together with the rough treatment he receives. Perhaps his teammates should have stepped up to the plate and supported him more on the pitch.

It's time to drop the nostalgia and sentiment. If a player wants off then the only thing to do is get the best deal - club takes priority over player. I'm inclined to agree. Then again he's had one foot out the door for so long, you have to wonder if he just likes something to moan about.

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? I agree. The grass is always greener on the other side.

If he stays he'll still be a Palace player and I, for one, will support him UNLESS he throws his toys out of the pram because he didn't get a move. HOWEVER, I fully expect him to move during this window, but maybe not before the new season has started. I can see both the board and any suitors 'playing poker/chicken' etc. until one side backs down and either accepts what's on the table or pays what's being demanded. I do, though, think we will buy in before we sell him. The board, hopefully have learned that it's not a good idea to get funds in from sales before you start going after what you need (inflated prices)

His massive earnings mean it’s easy to have zero sympathy for him but I genuinely think he tries when he is out on the pitch. Let’s hope the final deal is beneficial for us whatever happens.

I would like him to go abroad because, I for one, would not like to see him rip the a**e out of our defence

I can understand his frustration with so little support up front. Ideally he'd have a free role as strike forward. His dribbling skills are the best and has led to many set pieces and goals. However his crossing and shooting are not the same quality as his ball play. It's easy to see how the management thought that with Wilf on one wing and Andros on the other and Benteke in the middle we'd get a shedload of goals. Well we know it just didn't happen. I for one would have thought it would. Wilf at his best is great but at 28 he should now be in control of his temper and realise that losing it does him no good. Can't see him going for more than £25M. Sorry this is off topic, no rumours just my thoughts. I’ve already said it on this thread but If Ollie McBurnie Is worth close to 20 million then Wilf is worth 3 times that at least. There is not a snowballs chance in hell of him leaving for £25 million.

In the case of Zaha I believe he submitted a formal transfer request last season, which obviously meant that he wanted to leave. The club not getting offers that met the price tag meant that Zaha stayed. Has he retracted his transfer request? Roy Hodgson's recent remarks suggest that Zaha still wants off, so it would be sensible if the club and player clarify that Zaha is for sale, and the club does the best deal to release him.

I think we will be short changed if we only got 25 million, when you hear that Ben Chilwell at Leicester City and Jack Grealish of Villa are muted to be moving for 80 million each. I rate Wilf far better than those two, and so will the Palace board... Edited by Gary St.Andrews (30 Jul 2020 6.48am) I’d love £80 million, would be amazed at £50 million but would take £30 million.
