I hope he does go and somewhere he can play with his peers.
As for Palace there are teams in the premiership that don’t have a “Wilf” and do quite well. It would help us even out and vary our playing style if some competent signings are completed.

Let's say Wilf had the same career, but with watford/west ham and he was up for sale to the right bidder - we wouldn't even be looking at him, we would be saying, oh it be nice, but realistically, he is too good for us and also, not the sort of player we need. I hope that makes sense to a lot of people... we need a more complete squad and a squad that complements Wilf. We currently do not. We very nearly can... but that would mean breaking the bank again and we can't do it.

How much did Andros cost us, he has been just fine for us, imagine another Andros in Wilf's place, with the other midfielders we have and then imagine two strikers firing on all cylinders!
It seems more complete and less.... drama.

Meyer needs to be the key, build/work around him

This was once a quality forum....

The voice of reason.

sell in the summer for £50m and give it to the new forward thinking manager to shape his new squad

Certainly penalties won are out of the stats as he is involved in more goals then figures credit him for.
Flabbergasted about people wanting to sell our only attacking threat and him having roots at the club apparently does not seem of interest to a lot of people either.
And all this talk about investing wisely..... one Sessegnon and it will be gone. One Lookman or Gray and you may have change for a Championship striker.
If we were to sell in the summer, we need to buy his replacement before he goes as prices will inflate dramatically.

His goals/assist per game ratio really isn't as bad as you suggest. Some key considerations:

1) He plays in a really mediocre goal-shy team. If the team finishes better he gets more assists. Similarly this stat is impeded by playing for a relegation straggler with limited possession per game. If he plays for a top club then naturally the stats go up as the team he is playing for are in the final third that much more. Additionally you can't triple mark him at a good side whereas he is constantly swarmed with us as they know they can, to a certain extent ignore Ayew etc.
2) He isn't a striker. Simply looking at goals returns (or even goals and assists) ignores the work he actually does. Let's cherry-pick a different arbitrary stat to prove why he's great instead. He is the 2nd most fouled player in the country behind Hazard. He gets us up the pitch and gives the defence a breather consistently with his ability to retain possession and win fouls under constant pressure from multiple players.

Explain.

You don't seem to understand that finding players of his quality at a club like ours is a once in a generation event.
You can't just sign a Zaha or a Hazard because you have money in the bank. They won't come to Palace.

You don't win games by having eleven average players. You have to have someone or two who occupy defenders and take the pressure of your own defence.

Surely you watch the PL every week.
