Strength in depth. But why do we need another wide player in Sarr?

Wilf is for all his frailties, much loved at palace. This is a charitable view admittedly but maybe he's mellowed and wants to leave a legacy?

Allow me to speculate on a scenario.
Man City are selling Alvarez for around £80 million.
He will need to be replaced, not necessarily like for like.
City have a long standing interest in Eze which apparently is still very much there.
It has to be acknowledged that there is a possibility of Eze joining City , in particular if there is a clause enabling him to join Champions League clubs if certain provisions are met.
It's not impossible , much as I hope it doesn't happen.

If it does happen there is a huge gap on the attacking left of Glasner's system.
Zaha could play that role and knows the club and the Premier League
In a way it could be seen as a low risk option while allowing Franca to develop.
As I said, I hope it doesn't happen and that Eze continues to dazzle us next season.

If Wilf has got any sense he will buy himself for Croydon Athletic and become a local legend all over again .

I’m a sentimental old so and so and therefore would be a yes regardless.

For footballing reasons however, if Zaha is aware that he’s no longer the number one concern, feels rejuvenated being at Palace and being still only in his early 30s, I’d be interested to see him play in one of the two CF roles for sure.

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

If Eze to City comes to pass - I’d take McAtee as part of the deal - boys a class act and would fit in perfectly - been wanting us to sign him all window - even as a loan..!!

Don’t think Eze will go to City - certainly not as a direct replacement for Alvarez - different players - so Eze not a like for like replacement..!!

On Zaha - I’m on the fence - given our current squad he won’t be a starter - how would he react to that -,and would that potentially cause a problem..!!

That said a fit and hungry Zaha would certainly be an asset - I’m just not sure - think I’d prefer a McAtee..!!

We’ll see..!!

Weren't West Ham interested in signing him at one point? I'd prefer he goes there and leaves us with the good memories. I don't think he'd fit well into the new ethos.
