All this talk of Zaha being the best player outside of the top 6 and being valued >£40 million got me thinking- where would you rate Zaha in a FIFA like list of players in the Premier League?! On his day, for me, Zaha has to be in the top 5 players in the entire league- including clubs from within the top 6 but then, like every player to have ever lived, he has the odd off day. Therefore looking through the top 6 clubs, who from their teams would you rather have at Palace ahead of Zaha?! Arsenal- Aubemyang, Argubaly Ozil? Chelsea- Hazard Man City- Aguero, De Bruyne, Sterling, Sane? Spurs- Kane, Eriksen United- De Gea Liverpool- Salah, Firmino, Van Dijk? If those players all sat in a hypothetical list above Zaha in the league, it would classify him as the 14th best player..... who would you add/ remove to that list?!

Great player, not as good as our fans make out he is.

He was better when he paid more attention to the game than his hair. Daft but true. Since his new dread man bun thing, he spends more time trying to keep that tidy and looses a bit of focus on the game. Otherwise, he's fcuking top draw.

Wilf has developed well as a player and I think he would walk into most Premiership sides and I am not just saying that because he is a Palace player....

Remind me how many games we've won this season without using Wilf.

I think he really is top draw, if he played in a high-quality team I reckon he would be lethal, The only question mark is his temperament, could he fit in with other high-quality players. IMO he is worth in today's market in excess of 50m.

I love wilf. But he could play 20 bad games for Palace and still be a starter, see Benteke . If he had a bad game for a top team he’d be lucky to be on the bench the following game. Aguero couldn’t even get a start for city when they needed 3 goals last night.

If you replaced Wilf with Gareth Bale we would have a piece of dynamite who would be even better than Wilf. Yet he struggles to make it into Real team. Subbed at half time tonight.
