I think Wilf wants to leave because of our lack of ambition. I don't think this transfer window has done anything to demonstrate that he is wrong.

If I was Roy I would suggest to Wilf that we rate him higher than Everton do as they were not prepared to pay the asking price. I would suggest he then go and show Everton what they are missing out on.

Sorry but allow me a moment some may view as blasphemy.

I think Wilf has acted like a petulant spoilt brat in all of this.

My suspicion is he made his annual trip to see SP and demanded more.

He got the brush off and since then has had others agitate for him as he doesn't fancy doing his dirty work.

To put in a request so late was another act of pettiness.

Wonder how he will react on the pitch? Not O want him around right now until he explains his actions and displays a decent attitude to his employer and us fans.

Zaha is completely within his rights to ask for a transfer, and even to ask the club to accept a lower offer to allow that to happen. He's only asking. It doesn't make him 'disloyal' (whatever the hell that even means in this context), or erase the huge amount he has done for CPFC in his career to date. Crucially, it doesn't prohibit him continuing to do excellent work for us in the future either.

Plainly, and perfectly reasonably, he wants to play at the top of the game, feels he can do that, and that he has done all he can for and at Palace. Hard to disagree with any of that, just like it was hard to disagree with Ian Wright when he came to similar conclusions back in the day. Anyone saying it's about earning more money hasn't been paying attention: Zaha gives significant sums out of every wage packet to charities in the UK and Ivory Coast, which is a funny way to be greedy.

This is the transfer window, and he is at his peak. He will only have these circumstances coincide a handful of times in his life. In two or three short years his dream will be over forever. Of course it will affect him emotionally. Quite why it should affect any of us that way is beyond me. Some of the comments on here amaze me. Just take a moment to remember: This is not your wife/husband/partner telling you they want to leave you for someone else.

So he is stay.

New song for the newly situated Fanatics.

He's too expensive for you, he's to expensive for you... - starting with Everton Saturday.

Over and out

I'd like to propose a referendum on Wilf's song … I think it would greatly help his attitude if instead of singing 'he's just to good for you' we all sang 'you're just too good for us'. Please reply with an agree or disagree, if we get 10,000 agrees this might happen, the HF would be powerless.

This is the most ridiculous post of the day.
He's contracted for five years on mega bucks. The club have the right to hold him to that.
As for he has the right to demand the club accept below market value to give him what he wants? Moronic. If a buyer applied the same logic when you were selling your house you'd soon sing a different tune.

As for leaving to better himself? It's Everton, not Real Madrid.

Bringing that Judas c*** Wright into it was the cherry on the cake.
