Big No from me. He does not have the work ethic required for a Glasner team. Look at how players have improved since he left, right across the pitch. He was a great servant to the club and we thank him for that but he was paid very well for it. He also held us to ransom until the end of his contract last year until the last minute preventing us looking for an adequate replacement. If he cared about Palace not his own personal gain he would not have done this. I hope SP will not push through his recruitment against a manager's wish like he did in the past a good post. I agree, however, not sure he held us to ransom. The issue for me was that we didn't sign a young winger/striker a year before Wilf left. He could have had a year on the bench coming to terms with the Prem league and then would be in a better position to replace Wilf if/when he left. Semenyo for example was linked with us but joined Bournemouth in Jan 2023. He would have been ideal and can play on either wing

We knew way in advance that he wasn't signing a new one. And/or Olise was already signed as the Wilf replacement.

Watching Ronaldo play the other night gave me Zaha vibes.

Interesting thread. Seems to be a 50/50 split. For many (myself included) we've always seen Wilf as a potentially devastating 9. No longer has the pace to go past players out wide, but certainly has that short, sharp change of pace and direction to get past a player and get a good shot away.

a clear no,a man baby ,his petulant attitude is there for all to see.He doesn't fit the new pacey youth policy. In all honesty he is now a dinosaur.

Why not? He's still a good player. Would you sooner see Edouard or Wilf come off the bench to try and rescue a point?
..yes you are of course you are |

Perhaps he's ready to come back and seal his legacy? But someone like Philogene is tge future, IF we can get him to SE25?

Anyone who listened to his podcast with Calvin Andrew will know he will have zero desire to come back to Palace

Would not be surprised if Wilf ends up with West Ham. Munoz will have him for toast then...
