And if he does go, he goes with good luck and thank you from me

Seconded. He has been a legend for us although Wrighty had a few good years up north so that would be negative, to me at least.

Enjoying getting up later and not having someone who knows better than me (apart from the missus of course).

The hard part with this is the club are only offering one-year deals to other players over 30. Clearly they're going to want him to sign a longer deal. Secondly, he is likely to demand a salary bump but he is arguably heading towards the tail-end of his career; given he already earns around 50k more than the next nearest player how would that affect team morale, especially given his inconsistent performances this season?

As important as he is to the team, I think the club should just offer him a new deal similar to his current one and then leave it up to him. If it really isn't about money then it is just about whether he wants to stay with a club that loves him or whether he wants to play for a so-called big club again. Personally I think it'll come down to what offers he gets. If Spurs, Arsenal, Chelsea or Liverpool move for him then he's off. If he just gets offers from the likes of Newcastle or Everton then I think he'll stay. I imagine his agent is busy sounding out prospective clubs before he makes a decision.

Presumably the agent would make more out of any deal if Zaha switched clubs (rather than just signing a new / renewed contract with us)

He is worth much more to us than ever, he is our talisman and suggested replacements are not up to speed yet.

To lose both him and Gallagher could prove terminal to our survival chances.

Unless, and very unlikely, we have a new signing lined up to go with the midfield general we so desperately need. I hope we give him a new one year deal and a salary boost.

If he goes for a fee in January it won't be much of a financial benefit to us after Man United's 25% commission.

Hope he stays.

Agree with all of that.

I think he will wait out January and can envisage a lack of sincere interest, including offers not worth Wilf's time 'entertaining', a further waiting period towards the summer and then perhaps a rather 'tail between legs' signing of a new contract.

Whatever the weather, won't change Wilf's status for me so if he goes I wish him all the best but if he stays good stuff.

Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!!
