Last summer, when most fans wanted WZ to stay we had 2, albeit miserly, offers. Now most fans are prepared to let him leave we have had none.

Last year there were lots of stories of interest from other clubs, this year, virtually none.

Murphy has more column space, lol.

Ironic.

I am not a bot. No, seriously, I'm not.

the quicker he leave the better...he is still a favorite of mine, but enough is enough. Take whatever dosh we can get for Wilf and move on...add a couple of millions in for Benteke and we should be able to invest in some decent players.

I’d like to know what nightclub he was in, in these COVID days. You’d have to be nuts!

If Zaha was available for say £5m every club in the PL would want him as a squad player.

If Zaha was available for £5m probably 15 clubs in the PL would want him as a first choice player and most would have him as a key team player.

At the money we are asking there are no takers so far. He likes Arsenal but are Arsenal as keen on him? I suspect they see him as a useful squad player so they are not going to pay big money.

I think that logic applies to a lot of the other clubs.

One more point

I'm more frustrated by the lack of respect he showed the fanbase via his performances since the Bournemouth game.

I know the whole team was bad but he was in the bottom half of performances virtually every game which, for a player who has a belief he should be starting for a club competing in the knockout stages of the Champions league, is pretty pathetic.

I'd be disappointed if he still is here at the start of the season because we'll just end up with our own Bale situation.

If Arsenal would do a swap for Nelson and Maitland-Niles, no cash, that'd be an incredible deal for us. Can't see it unfortunately.

Agree with you here.

Someone's probably just texted the screen. They pointed at it. Wilf laughed.

He's on a night out having a good time with his friends. He shouldn't have to be professional all the time. People who are upset by this are clearly oversensitive.

We aren't setting up to play to Zaha's strenghts. It's no wonder he wants to leave. Yet many of you think that getting rid of our most talented player at a bargin basement price will fix the problems we have.

Arsenal’s problem now is their matchday revenue was huge. Not now it isn’t and will affect them in comparison to the competition, especially with the directors’ annual dividends and payments turning a competing football club into just a wage payer. Surprised the fans don’t pull together and boycott various things for significant periods.

COYP

Leave it out. In the last 18 months he's handed in a transfer request, his brother has told the press that we should let him go because of everything he's done for us, he was filmed on the pitch saying 'come and sign me' or similar to an Arsenal player and now this. Chuck in his constant on-field tantrums and poor performances and he's hardly been the picture of professionalism.

Even leaving sentiment out of it, let's not forget that he's under contract and being paid handsomely. It isn't our fault that nobody has bid an acceptable amount for him, if they did he would go.

I don't think anybody thinks selling our best player will help us but at this point what other option do we have when he's not even trying to pretend that he wants to stay?

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold...

Lets not forget that not only did it not work out for him at Man U, but he was not well received on loan at Cardiff later that season, in what turned out to be a relegation season for them. And in my view he was a better player then.

Should have got his head down this season and proved his worth. Chose to sulk instead and now looks very ordinary.

Excellent post which I would imagine at least 95% of us Palace fans would agree with.
