Obviously I know that.

but how comes we've openly said hes not for sale at any price and we not a selling club, then to make this statement, it doesn't coincide

Good answer Nobby, couldn't have put it better myself.

Hmmm, the press yet again goes full circle and this is how it seems to go in relation to Wilf:

1) "x" club are desperate to buy Wilf
2) Other clubs are now desperate to buy Wilf
3) Wilf has been offered a new contract and its been turned down therefore he must want to leave.
4) All clubs apparently on alert because Wilf wants to leave.
5) Home fans start reading he wants to leave so many times in the press, that they too believe he is going.
6) Wilf and the manager say he is not leaving.
7) Wilf/Manager comments not considered good enough for the press or some of the fans.
The original "x" club are no longer interested because Wilf is not good enough, or he is too expensive, or there are better alternatives.
9) The other clubs apparently lose interest (mainly because they probably had no interest at all in the first place)
10) The mood changes from Wilf wants to leave, to, we think he wants to leave but he's a good old sort so will honour his contract and play on at Palace.
11) New clubs enter the fray, because errr, the press have got nothing else to write about.
12) The press start reporting that Wilf is definitely staying even though it was them who said he was looking to leave in the first place.
13) Wilf stays, starts the season like he finished last and scores 20 goals and we rinse and repeat through January and next years summer windows.

Therefore an entire story has been created by the press with a beginning, a middle and an end all of which is entirely fiction and all created for the purpose of clickbait. If they had never written any of the articles we would be in entirely the same position we are now!

The truth behind all of this is there was never any offers put in, there has been no request for a transfer and all along the Club, the Manager and the player himself has said he is not leaving. 40 pages of wasted comment on this board with more trolling about Wilf leaving than I would care to read on another clubs board, let alone this one.

If a massive bid is made we will hear about it soon enough and a decision will be made then and only then and it is in the clubs hands as to whether they accept it or not.

I don't want to see him go, never have, never will as he is the most exciting player I have ever seen in a Palace shirt. Unfortunately there seems to be a hardcore on here happy to stir things up and appear to take delight in anything negative written about Wilf's stay at the club.

Whinge over, last I say on this until either the season starts or we get a massive bid on the table.

The way Nursey wrote it is a classic CYA. "...are set to hang on...", "wanted to go but has come to terms..." He still can't admit he made the whole thing up and never actually spoke to Zaha. At best he ran with a multi-hand rumour and at worst he wrote his own fantasy.

Haha, we are at stage number 12 now according to the Mirror! I just need Wilf to score a shed full of goals this season and I'll have the full house:-)

Only 83 pages on here regarding Wilf? We are losing heavily to the Brighton NSC who have racked up 140 pages on him. They really are obsessed about us I think.
