If Zaha does move it should break the logjam surely? We would need to move pdq for Sarr or Watkins in time for the new season?

Maybe, now I could be clutching at straws, but maybe it's the system wilf wants to leave, not the club!

Sky Sports News is as a reliable source as the Daily Mirror, it’s a click bait, they have very little to write about so come out with the same old .. Dortmund .. really they have better players and a different recruiting strategy Wilfs to old . PSG way out his league, I’m sure he would snap at the chance but they don’t need him, Monaco seriously a backwater of French football now, only plus is a great place for Wilf to race his Ferrari.

Everton love wasting cash, they can have another underperforming year with Wilf just give us the 30 mill

Wilf needs a new club and we need a replacement that turns in a more consistent performance than Wilf put in this past season. System or not ... he seemed invisible at times.

Denial is not just a river in Egypt

I've been very reluctant to see Wilf go. I think this last season he has been pissed off at the tactics and the club's apparent lack of ambition. He doesn't want to remain at a club where survival is seen as success.

I can understand that. However to attract bidders he should have tried to be at his best at all times, let alone the fact that he is paid a fabulous salary and for that alone should have given 100% for Palace.

He could have also tried to control his attitude when things went wrong on the field, instead of reacting the way he has.

So, sadly it's better for both sides that he goes.

There will have to be some clever dealings in the next weeks to get the side up to scratch. Will they happen? I have grave doubts.

I have now sufficient funds to last me the rest of my life. Provided I don't buy anything.

We wont. Not in the Covid-austerity world.

Given that Man U have been quoted £40m for Brooks,just what is the true value of Wilf??

Being quoted and actually getting are two very different things as we discovered last year with Wilf. The true value of Wilf is what the highest bidder is prepared to pay for him on a level playing field (which doesn't exist at present). Wilf's value is clearly less than it was last year by reason of one less year on contract, one year older, poor season and Covid.

If we get Fraser and Wilf doesn't show up, he should end up on the bench, which should be the quickest way to motivate him if he wants out in Jan 21.

I wonder if the answer is that we consider loaning Wilf out with a right to buy at £80 million. We get a loan fee and his wages Paid. He gets chance to impress a new club and get transfer he appears to want. We get the financial freedom to bring in other players and hopefully become less predictable. Plus there is a chance we will get the fee we want(need because of Man U clause)
