Great statement from him.
One never holds ones breath with these things but for now we can be comfortable knowing that Wilf wants in - it will make it easier to get better players in next season!

Bit like a manager getting a vote of confidence from the board, you know they will be gone sooner than later.

I think he'll still be here next season but we'll probably get an offer we can't refuse in summer 2019.

If top 6 offered a sum Parish was happy with and promised Zaha first team football, he'd be gone.

It is interesting though.
Wilf may just be saying it to keep the season stabilised until we are (hopefully) safe but I don't think so.
He loves to be loved and at Palace he is definitely loved.
He needs freedom on the pitch and we give it to him where other clubs may not.
He is close to his Family with us and his extended Family is important to him..
He already has international football so he doesn't need to move for that.
I would pay him a signing on fee of £10m and give him
a big pay rise personally!

a top 6 team cant/wont do that (offer guaranteed 1st team football)
also he WONT get the adulation he gets with us if he moves on...
for that reason i think he stays for at least another season!!!

Love the player, sure. But isnt it a testament to how far we have traveled as a club ?
that diamond players are willing to stay with us. Clyne, Moses, johnson, Bolasie, even Johathan Bostock....
we are still a selling club ( everybody below the top 6 clubs on the planet is a selling club ) , but no longer cheap and cheerful.

For me, he is Mr Crystal Palace now. Our icon, our GOAT. His passion for CPFC warms the heart. Don't think it's possible to love our Wilf any more, especially after Saturday
would love to show videos of him murdering full backs to grandkids in 40 years or so

If we could just keep him for one more season it would be great, wouldn't begrudge him a big move though if it came along.
We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold...

This team deserves and needs stability to see what it can do. Let Roy build his team, let the players have a season that's comfortable.
Summer 2019 will be a whole different beast.
This was once a quality forum....

I don't regard it as a meaningless statement. He didn't have any need whatsoever to say it. I'm sure his agent wouldn't have advised him to.
If you want to live in a world full of kindness, respect and love, try to show these qualities.

Perhaps it's a little nudge for Parish to invest in the squad.

He can probably see we could be challenging for a UEFA spot injury free and with a couple of new key signings.

Lots of mixed reports from a conversation he had on "Goals on Sunday" where he clearly states that hes happy at Palace and the support he receives from the fans is the best support of any fans "crazy" support.
now theres reports that hes ready to leave
I hope he stays.
players at Palace that become the stars of the club like Zaha A.J, Bolasie (in recent years) leave for better clubs but always seem to fail.

Wilf has said he's happy at Palace its his club. However, we have to sensible as does he, if a big club came with offer of CL and wages to match. Who not wish the young man well. He has proved himself to be loyal servant to our club.

TBF Le Tissier, who could have played virtually anywhere at his peak, proved himself to be a loyal servant to his club, Wilf has already left us once. I wish him absolutely nothing but luck with his career but I don't quite see him as the dutiful servant just yet.
