As someone else posted, we’re doing really well without him atm. Until we can replace his goals we’re in trouble. And I have no faith in that happening. Pardon ? 'We're doing really without him' If that's your opinion on how we are doing when we are not creating much going forward and with defensive weaknesses then your glass is definitely half-full!

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

It was meant to be sarcastic. My glass is certainly not half full. It’s in bits on the floor.

Adapting to life without Wilf will take a while but I actually think we might find a way to and be stronger without him. He is the prism through which our light refracts. It's not going to be totally easy to just move away from that.
If you want to live in a world full of kindness, respect and love, try to show these qualities. |

We will have to try a different approach such as offering to name the new stand as The Wilfried Zaha Stand I know that Parish wanted it named after himself but he can have the ground instead although Parish Park doesn't have much of a ring to it Nice idea, Midlands, but I can't see Wilf hanging around until 2050 TBH.

Feels a bit harsh. A player who is often touted as the best outside the top 6, on a wage that is on par with the non-superstars at at the top 6. Also from a team contribution perspective, Luka and Jairo have the same combined wage as Wilf. I know who I'd rather have Not at all. He had the potential, he went, didn't do so well and returned. He's done well since at a club that is just below top 10 standard. He certainly did well for himself on the wage front, I suspect he figured out that he was more vital to Palace than Benteke, who was on a crazy wage. Talisman? Yes, he's managed to create an aura about himself. Inconsistent? Yes. Wanted by other clubs on his current wage? Open to conjecture. What I do know is that when he was at the height of his powers and requested a transfer, there was mild interest but nothing serious; that says a lot. Edited by southnorwoodhill (22 Feb 2023 2.51pm)

Edited by southnorwoodhill (22 Feb 2023 2.51pm) He renegotiated at a good time, when in a powerful position and Palace were brining in so called super stars. But as the talisman in a prem team, he's on a similar wage to say James WP. And also simular money to a bunch of players that add so little in comparison, Iwobi, Ox, RLC, Van De Beek etc. So whilst he might not always 'ern' it, its not really that out of kilter with where the league is at. I suspect the fear of him leaving vs a Brentford/Brighton is: He's been a mainstay of hte team for a bloody age
