A lot of sports media outlets are jumping on the band wagon with an opening headline of "Wilfried Zaha is reportedly ready to quit Crystal Palace" with Liverpool, Spurs, Chelsea and Man City all chasing him. It is just click bait and should be ignored.

It is based on an interview with Sky which has been taken out of context. They report him saying "If I get the opportunity to move away eventually, it wont scare me". What they omit to print is this part of the interview where he said "I am enjoying my football and I am contracted to Crystal Palace. I don't really see myself anywhere (else)". He then went on to talk about his time at United and stated that he had grown mentally "So that wont scare me, if I get the opportunity to move away eventually, it wont scare me".

It seems to me that he was making a commitment to Palace but did not rule out a move some time in the future but certainly not as early as this summer. Of course, he may have his head turned during the summer and if he does go, I just hope we get £70m for him.

Does anyone actually know what the sell on clause is with Manure?
I’ve been hearing ridiculous suggestions that it’s anything up to 50%. I can’t belive that!

I hope that Zaha stays but my thoughts on who he could go to:

Man Untd - No been there and failed.
Man City - Why? do they need another bench warmer they have plenty of tricky players.
Spurs - Possible especially if Ali or Christian move they will need some creativity.
Liverpool - Strong possible either to replace Salah or play with him.
Chelsea - If William and or Hazard go would make sense
Arsenal - Maybe depends who the manager is
Abroad - Huge mistake if he went don't see him settling.

So plenty of options however I would remind him that he is a big fish at Palace how certain will he be as a starter at another club?

One more point

Wilf said two weeks ago he doesn't see his future anywhere else.

Can't see him going to Spurs as their stadium is going to cost around £900 million.

Doubt they could afford Wilf.

To be fair the biggest culprit was Roy. Sam had one squad and ignored him and when the new broom did that I think that was when he went with Ivory Coast. When Southgate came in he'd already made his mind up I think. He could have made an effort, but in all honesty I'm glad he isn't playing under the enormous pressure that is England.
Yesterdays game really had me fearing for his safety. Some of the tackles were horrible, yet as usual he got very little protection from the ref. The unfair rep he has definitely has something to do with it and eventually he won't bounce back up and the pundits and powers that be will be responsible for it.
As for him moving I'm going for PSG. He speaks French after all.

That's Life
And as funny as it may seem
Some people get their kicks stompin' on a Dream.
KEEP THE FAITH!!!!!

agree with you 100 percent , i watched the full interview in which he was asked over and over are you ready to move and each time he said im not scared to move i just dont want to, in not so many words , he couldnt have been any clearer apart from telling her to f*** off and stop asking that question. im sure he still has 3 plus years left on his contract not sure about whether there is a buy out clause . i also dont know if the powers that be can force him to move .

oh yeah ,fcuk off brighton.
