I doubt Zaha will be going anywhere. As ever, his value to our team exceeds the sum any sensible club would pay to sign him.

That he only has one year left on his deal only makes his sale less likely - I doubt we'd get much above £20m, and his goals and assists are worth half of that in league placing payments alone. Plus how exactly could we hope to replace his influence with that sort of money? We pay that sort of dough for centre backs and holding midfielders these days - a ready-made goalscoring, match winning forward will be much more expensive, so it's not like we can aim to sell Zaha and replace him with the money we get.

I appreciate that this is the last chance to cash in, but he'll be determined to attract the attention of the biggest clubs, and so I'd expect him to be flying, which is ample compensation in the absence of a transfer fee.

The big question is whether he signs a new deal with us this time next year. We'll probably be competitive with even the big clubs when it comes to his wages, so it'll all turn on whether a big club, competing in the champions league, want him in their team as a first choice player or not.

The top clubs strive for a level of consistency with their playing staff. Zaha is too inconsistent to feature at that level.

Yep agree with that.

Whatever happens I hope it is amicable. I think Wilf pushing aggressively for one last hurrah and leaving a bad taste in the mouth would be as disappointing as him being coerced to stay at all costs and the relationship between club and player being damaged.

The ol' 'other clubs being interested in Wilf' is nothing new however still concerning. To be absolutely honest I think he'd really struggle with a move to a 'big team' such as Roma however I wouldn't begrudge him the opportunity. New window same old sh!te.

Raphinha different type of player and far better work rate also he is only 25 Wilf is 30 this year.

Wilfs stats only look good from last season due to all the pens he took otherwise he was poor again and his assists are terrible.

He won leave now anyway no one is interested and he has shown to be a person who needs extra treatment not many clubs do this plus I cant see him coping abroad unless he was at end of career going to say US.

You would expect this coming season he will put in best performance to get a nice new contract or he will hold out for some one to take him on a free but is he really worth 130+ per week nope.

Wilf is still our best player.

Offer him a 2 year extension with a pay rise. Why are people so worried about the wages? We paid Wickham £65k pew for years and he had loads of fans talking him up. We seemed to renew Paddy McCarthy for another couple of years. We even resigned AJ!

Wilf’s behaviour is pathetic sometimes and it looks like he will have that forever but he can win us games.

Haha I've not heard of one player becoming one of the best in the world at 28, he's 24 if he was world class he would be one of the best in the world right now.
