Build the team around Eze and Olise. The balance doesn’t work with Zaha and those two starting. We’ve had Zaha’s best years and now is the time for him to move on. Plus he needs to see if he can play at a bigger club than us. I have my doubts? Be sad to see him go, but if it’s now and we get some money then that’s good for Palace?

I think we're a weaker side without him and that we can't afford to be any weaker on the pitch. We need to strengthen if we want to compete. Otherwise, survival becomes the remit - as usual.

He put in the transfer request. He wanted to challenge himself at a higher level. Ok. Ta-ta. Due to his inconsistent game, it doesn't surprise me too much that a top club never came in for him.
Depends on the club really and whether they want to keep him for another season. Or, as a free agent, he'll find work somewhere.

Exactly, why go there? They're as likely to win something as us - less likely probably. Bigger club perhaps but worse team currently. And Zaha is not exactly a long term investment.

Presumably the AV story started because Emery was in charge at Arsenal when they were supposed to be interested in Wilf (allegedly offering 40 mill in instalments) & then they spent 72 mill (in instalments) on Pepe - AV are just as likely to be looking for a new manager at the end of the season as anyone - if Emery tanks he will get fired & if he does well he will be being linked with the same / similar clubs as Poch has been for the last 6 months or so - so Wilf going to AV is as big a crapshoot as going to say Wolves or Everton
