We would have won against Forest with Wilf I am sure, we just lacked his extra quality.

One person shouldn't make a team and that is going too far, but he so often has that edge, he is quite unique.

I tend to agree, however, to temper this, he has certainly lost some pace. He's not slow but he is slower. A more standard, crossing winger might do us the world of good when I think about it. For flair and game changing we now have Olise and Eze. Those with a pacy enough winger who creates chances should be pretty good. We might well improve if we get the right kind of player. Ayew and Edouard are not realistic left wingers for the entire season. Ayew can do a job, as we've seen. Edouard has had flashes of being relatively average at left wing but mainly pretty poor. We have to either buy or go with what we've got. We've been linked with Sarr for years. Maybe we'll even sign him now. I wouldn't think he's 20 mil now but could be wrong. Surprisingly decent stats when you look into it. Something like 10 goals this season.

Or indeed a better striker than the two Frenchmen that we have

Maybe, but he played when we lost 0-1 to them. With Wilf missing a penalty!

Win ,lose or draw it doesn't matter now,it is more important Wilf makes his mind up what he wants to do,because his indecisiveness now if he stays or goes is cocking up the decision making,of who or what we need to get in for next season!!!

Wilf is still the difference between us and some teams in the League - and he still could be if he wants to stay.
My take on it is that he wants 4 years and we don't.
However - if he made the difference - total difference - as he would have done on Sunday - then he could add 20 points to the total when we play teams below or around us.
He has a quality - still - that we don't possess without him.
I would give him 4 years at £200k/week personally - £40m over 4 years - it will cost us that to buy even a shadow of Wilf, let alone the wages involved.

Wilf should consider staying as he has earnt his stripes since Palace came into the EPL. We have seen players move on only to maybe have half a season and not being a starter player. Think of Townsend / Bolasie etc They've all just disappeared, and he loves South London and would be a great asset with the teaching staff. I think he could give the Eagles 2 more years of enjoyment, even with injuries.... and be earning more than enough to get to retirement and be regarded as the best the club has had. I do not think he would make 1st team appearances and just be considered a bench sub to bulk up those European teams that vie for the accolades.
EPL's Top six just buy for the sake of power and do not deserve to manipulate stars like Wilf in their endeavours to dominate with the ugly wealth they have.
Wilf we love you and the joy you bring and have over the past few years

I have loved Wilf over the years and he still has the x-factor quality that is hard to find. The problem in the past was Palace did not have anyone close to his ability hence why in some previous seasons the game plan was just get the ball to Wilf.
The gap now between Wilf and the rest of our front players has been closed and we no longer look noticeably weaker when he is not playing. Would i like Wilf to be playing for Palace along side the likes of Olise Ayew and Eze then yes but we don't have to break the bank to make this happen.
I think Saar would be a viable replacement and would not cost us the same in wages and would have a potential sell on value where after 4 years Wilf would be close to retirement.

All I hope is that we sort it out soon.

Even though he isn't what he was, he's still better than most of what we've got and better than what we can get. So I'd love him to stay.

But I get the ambition and drive to play higher. Newcastle need some reinforcements, and despite UCL, they are unlikely to be able to attract top top talent as yet. (Same as City, players want to see if this is real before committing). But would Wilf want to relocate out of London, I doubt it.

Arsenal is his club, so I get the feeling that it might be them or us. Chelsea and Spurs are both a mess.

Why would Arsenal want him as they already have Saka

Saka plays on the right. However they do have Martinelli and Trossard who play left. Again all about timing and doesnt seem quote right again for him and Arsenal. Cant have too many good players I suppose

Mystifying, really, as striking is something the French are usually pretty good at.

 


Wife beating may be socially acceptable in Sheffield, but it is a different matter in Cheltenham
