Agree with all this.

Problem with Wilf is what he used to do, better than anyone beyond possibly Messi and anyone in that cohort I'd suggest, is beat players at will. He seems to have and be regressing from that identity.

I still think it is easy to underestimate just how good Wilf was and how great he has been for us. We were extremely lucky. He's added finishing to his game and a bit more 'intelligence' despite losing what he once had so whilst he may still be a good player for us I am unsure just to what extent a 'top' side would find him useful? If he'd had the composure he occasionally shows now years ago, there's no way we'd of kept him at the Palace.

Whatever happens we do need to replace him with a winger and one quite different from Olise I'd suggest. I'd like a direct and pacy winger back in there personally with Olise being the technical 'wizard'. Someone to drive us forward and provide an outlet up the pitch. Both Wilf and Olise turn back/cut in too much for me and it slows attacks down massively hence the outcome and statistics we're seeing, there's nor real dynamism.

I am struggling to see WIlf leaving despite the expected speculation and contract situation. I think a combination of a lot of the points raise in posts on this thread will factor into play and no clear destination may lead to him resigning.

Personally, I don't think it would be the worst thing in the world at this stage - we'd have to find a Wilf-less identity which seems terrifying however might drive us forward.

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