Not sure why I read so much support for Zaha As people have said we can not afford to lose him for this period. So if he wants to go to AFCON and Spurs come in with a decent offer, we should seriously consider it. I suspect this may not be a popular view but we need him at present and it is in my view in the clubs best interest to sort this problem quickly

This post has been merged from a topic called 'Zaha announced in Ivory Coast squad for Africa Cup' by jamiemartin721 It will be nice to see Sam using Palace youth (Hennesey has improved month by month) with a starting forward line up of Townsend, Benteke, Punch, substituted by Kai Kai, lookman and (from mid-February) by Zaha) should be enough to force opposition errors. I am looking forward to the rest of the season. COYP

If this is the case, he's only got himself to blame. If only he'd picked Wilf for the England squad when he had the chance for what turned out to be his one match in charge, maybe this situation could've been avoided. But no, he had to go with the likes of Walcott and Euro 16 flop Sterling instead. Allardyce has got no right to deny a player a chance to play at a full international tournament in what is a short career for any player. He has to suck it up and deal with it without throwing his toys out of the pram. Granted, the timing couldn't be worse for us, but we're not a one-man team and can get through this if everyone pulls in the same direction. Now is not the time to start losing our heads.

This post has been merged from a topic called 'Zaha announced in Ivory Coast squad for Africa Cup' by jamiemartin721 At least we know before transfer window opens, but as mentioned by many - give KaiKai an opportunity! Don't think either that Big Sam is furious about Zaha's choice of playing in AFCON....

Good luck to Wilf if he plays. Is it known that England didn't try to select him? He has always said he was undecided about which to play for. Maybe England asked for a competitive game and he said he prefers IC. It could absolutely be the making of him to play for IC. He could be adored and also really understand how lucky he is. Maybe that would open his eyes and eliminate some of the petulance.
If you want to live in a world full of kindness, respect and love, try to show these qualities. |

This post has been merged from a topic called 'Zaha announced in Ivory Coast squad for Africa Cup' by jamiemartin721 People saying he's selfish are idiots. Do you think Mahrez, Toure, Mane, Bailly, etc. are all selfish too? Or do you think they're just proud to be able to represent their country? Their absences will also hurt their teams, but for many players country still comes before club, as this should be the highest honour. Zaha was born in the Ivory Coast so he will no doubt be proud to wear the shirt. If it were not for injury Bolasie would be there too, but I don't remember people calling him selfish when he went to the AFCON two years ago? He is not flawless but I still love Wilf and wish all the best on his adventure. Hopefully he'll come back an even better player. On the Spurs front, I can't see them getting anywhere near our asking price until the summer.

Lets pray for a better 2017!

Do you think these players would still play for the honour of their country if their club were allowed to withhold their wages for the period?
