I find it very surprising that either, Arsenal. Chelsea or Spurs have not put a bid in for Wilf, i know he has his faults but on his day he is superb, and probably available for 25m, and still only 29, with the money them three are spending on mediocre players it is a surprise to me, but, lets hope no bid comes in for him and he extends his contact for another 3 years.

Thé click bait below reckon he is third in line to be considered by Areaenal. So it is all hot air. I wouldn’t take anything less than £50 m for him. He’s our main man and in a rich vain of form. Once the window closes Parish needs to offer him a new 4 year deal. He should also offer to name the new stand after him and put up a statue of him right outside where the opposition arrive.

Honestly the WZ transfer thingy has been going around for so long I wouldn't be surprised if we don't have a pre prepared response email in the system which says - WZ is currently our player - his contract has xxx to run , we will accept ................ + .....................

On Tuesday night, when the first substitution was about to be made (Schlupp for Phillips), the Oxford supporter sitting next to me said to his mate "Oh Christ, I think Zaha's coming on. Game over!" So Wilf can strike fear into the opposition even when he's not in the squad! As it happened, Jeff's attacking attitude soon led to it being "game over" in any case.

I am sure we have all moaned at/about Zaha at one point or another however I think this is down to a very genuine belief he could have been one of the world's best. He is for me, in my lifetime, the greatest son Palace has produced and pivotal to this very successful spell for us. Wilf Zaha is Palace this century so far.
Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!! |

Maybe even name the academy after him - hasn't he been with Palace since he was about 8 ?

Wilf has improved his end product under Vieira and if he keeps up this current form he could be set for his best season ever. I saw a stat that only Son and Kane have scored more goals than him in the PL in 2022. In a world in which Chelsea are apparently bidding 60m for Gordon it does seem mad that no one has at least tested the water. Earlier in the window I had said that if a decent offer came in and he really wanted to leave we should let him, despite how important he is to us, but with 6 days until the window shuts that ship has sailed. We don't have a readymade replacement and there isn't enough time to find one. Unless someone offers something silly I think we can probably put this one to bed again.
