Everyone loves Wilf, but I can’t help thinking now that he dragged out his decision last summer because he was waiting to see if Eze and/or Olise were still going to be around come the start of the season because he knew he’d lost his title of top dog and maybe he would’ve hung around if they’d left
A cynical view I know, especially as I think I said at the time he’s earned the right to be given time to make his decision, but I just think now I’m firmly in the camp of ‘we’ve moved on’ and we’ve no need to go back because we’ve had his best years and the wages will be better spent elsewhere

No I get the feeling that he enjoyed playing with those two it was just hodgson signing on again that made him want out.

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.

Exactly my thoughts too Patrick

I think Palace had an open training session yesterday and OG was asked he said no. Just gossip no facts.

 


One more point

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..!!

I suggested him elsewhere, although it would seem unlikely as he is apparently highly rated within City (understandably so). If Eze were to go then McAtee would certainly soften the blow. Personally, I can't see Eze fitting into the City system. Likewise, I'm not sure Wilf fits into the Glasner system, with his best game being out hugging the touchline, not tucked inside.

I'd rather have wilf than not have him however given our high tempo high pressing front line Gallagher would be the better fit if we were prepared to drop some money.

Sorry, I may be misunderstanding you, but you are basically saying that you'd like us to sign Zaha because we don't currently have him.

Given our transfer policy changed a few years ago from buying or loaning over 30 year olds coming to the end of their careers. It seems a non starter, he is of any interest, especially over the way he left.

Wilf will only come back if Eze goes - we've got Eze and Sarr either side of Mateta with Franca as back up - and Kamada can probably play there too, you want competition for places without key players having to stay on the bench and Wilf would disrupt the situation now we've got Sarr in.

Who do you fancy more to come off the bench in the dying minutes of a game and nick us a point or 3, Zaha or Ayew?

I take him back for sure at the right price.

I would expect him to be on the bench a fair bit but he could make a useful contribution.

Eze is better centrally, he doesn't seem to like being wide. He was wasted for England.
