I'd say the biggest reason he won't go to Barca is that there is absolutely no way in hell they're interested in him.

If ever there was an agent leaking stories to the press to try and get the attention of top 6 clubs, this is it.

Wilf is a fantastic dribbler but his end product isn't great at all, nowhere near Barcelona standards.

He’s really not that good. Never understood all of the ‘he’s our best ever player ‘ talk.
A decent player that can easily be talked/muscled off his game.
Great skills but his crossing is poor and shooting is embarrassing (apart from the Chelsea goal).
No level of consistency, the top 4 /best teams in Europe do not have players that are a 9 one week and a 2/3 the next.
He’s done some really good things for Palace and have enjoyed some of his performances, but behind Salako as a winger for me.
Stats don’t lie and he hasn’t set the world alight for us.
Just my opinion, but looking forward to him Benteke and Sakho going so we can get our top earners down to a level the club should be at 50/60 grand a week.

Jeez, our fans can’t even agree that Wilf is a decent player. Unbelievable!

He could make an impact at any team in the world. Not necessarily a starter at somewhere like Barca but he would have more time on the ball in the Spanish, French or Italian leagues and as others have said, decent sides will punish a team that tries to double or triple mark him to take him out the game.

He is the best player we have had by a country mile and I don’t remember Salako turning games round on his own like Wilf can.

I really hope he goes to a foreign league, I don’t want to see him playing against us.

Everyone knows Wilf, is a brilliant player. That in a way is why .we should know it’s time for him to move on.
It wasn’t the Wilf we know and need this year . The manager knows how good he is, but acknowledges Wilf, wants out. No club should fall into the trap of relying on players that won’t give everything for them. Surely Wilf, has made it obvious that’s where he is at.
How good he is, or could be , becomes irrelevant , if he would prefer sulking to performing at his best. We at Palace will always know how good he is. But as with where ever else he plays, we need and deserve a committed Wilf. Remember we pay his inflated wages, it’s not to be judged purely on sentiment.

Tottenham,Barcelona,Everton and Arsenal all linked.
In the Englebert hit,the line " please release me,let me go" seems very appropriate and Wilf,a very loyal servant over many years,should be allowed to leave and follow his dream of competing at the highest level.
No one can begrudge him that.
