Well, he does come from Purley. His wife is probably a goer.

Wasn't mapletree something to do with the police? in which case I won't reply in form to your silly comment.

Enjoying getting up later and not having someone who knows better than me (apart from the missus of course).

This is the problem that has to be accepted with Wilf, He couldnt be more public in wanting to be elsewhere.
Admittedly Viera, might have some effect on him, but it would seem it will need quiet a big change in his mind set, and if he retains any doubts at all about why he should stay, it may well be the best for all to let him go as part of a deal that reflects his value to us. And allow Patrick, to develop a group of young players some with almost as much potential, if not as much , as Zaha, had and developed.

If Zaha has any commonsense he will keep quiet for now.

If his big move comes off well he already told us that he wanted to leave.

If his big move doesn't happen he can claim that PV has talked him around to staying and save face.

If he says now that he is staying because he doesn't think his move is on and then a big club comes in and he goes he will look foolish.

So best bet is to stay quiet and keep your options open for now.

One more point

Looking at the players we are rumoured to be after we are looking at alternatives to Wilf.

Wilf has had no real challengers for his position in the team and he has known that irrespective of how he plays he is first name on team sheet in my view this is one of the reasons for his mindset.

We have bought the kid from Reading and are after the Man City player with these and our other players we have an ability to make changes. Hopefully this will motivate Wilf to perform.

My guess is we will get no takers for Wilf even at lower price because of his wage demands. Hopefully he accepts this and performs to show clubs what they have missed

Would you take a Straight swop, Iwobi, Davies and Kenny for Wilf, i would
