It’s hard to know what Wilf , is really after, or what he is likely to get this late in his career. A move must be mostly about money, as he is no longer likely to cause much of a stir at any of the better champions league outfits. We all know what he gets with Palace ,highly paid and adored by the fans. I don’t think he needs Roy, as the reason to stay, but I wouldn’t be at all surprised if Roy has Wilf high on his list of reasons to take the job for another year.

Really good point.

Personally, I feel like it already has. I feel like it's been that way for a while. He got his Man Utd move, then failed. So palace has always felt like the plan B for him.

If he does grasp the nettle and leave his boyhood club, then I hope he goes somewhere we won't see him. There are suggestions that clubs in the middle east and China are interested in him and at least we wouldn't have the ignominy of seeing him playing against us.

I also agree that a £200k pw contract would be outrageous in the face of the sums paid to Eze and Olise for instance. He's been wonderful for our club, but his best is well behind him now.

Good luck, whatever you do Wilf.

Dad and I watched games standing on the muddy slope of the Holmesdale Road end. He cheered and I rattled.

Anyone else seen the Zaha mural that has gone up on corner of park and holmesdale Road??

I was just thinking to myself that would be slightly odd were he to leave end of season?

I’m assuming this is past week or so? I can’t recall seeing it but I am the type to walk past 900 times completely oblivious and all over social media.

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

I don’t think it is a case of we have to have Wilf, any longer, we are still better with him, but we have proved we can go forward without him if that’s how he sees it.
He is stil a good player ,still capable of drawing two or three opposition defenders all afternoon but knowing what we know of Palaces finances , and the sort of money the rest of the squad get, no way does keeping him warrant £200 grand a week. The squad still needs building and by Palace standards there are four first team salaries in that figure.

Can we PLEASE stop all talk of 200k a week. There is NO way any of us or any lazy journo who just plucks a figure out of thin air, can know how much the club is offering. If Wilf goes he should go with our utmost appreciation. If he stays, and I hope he does, then we will have retained a massive player. In no other industry do people discuss how much employees are paid. If the club re-sign him they will do so on a deal they can afford and really it’s none of our business how much that is.
