The problem with him staying would be the length of contract and wages, two year and 65k, yes. Three year and 100k+, no.

Unbelievable really how fans just turn on Zaha for no reason at all.

Just remember that it is impossible for us to replace him with a like for like player of his quality because we can’t afford to pay the money. Makes perfect sense to give him a new deal.

Who is turning? He wasn't replaceable 2/3 years ago, now he most certainly is, its not Zaha FC, he has been great, and highly paid, but you cant justify 7m+ for a player so out of line with the current wage structure.

Even the Beeb are picking up on the wage.

It works out at £40m over 4 years a period during which he is likely to spend increasing amounts of time on the treatment table. I question whether he is self-controlled enough to manage the growing limitations of his body.

The only possible upside is that we wouldn't need to buy a replacement who would likely cost us £40m plus wages etc.

I hope so, utter madness from the club, if true.
