He made his choice. We have moved on.

£170k ? No no no no

If Wilf really thinks he's now worth that, it's not only his speed he's lost.

I have now sufficient funds to last me the rest of my life. Provided I don't buy anything.

Disrespect?
The club paid him handsomely for his efforts for us and I doubt there's a single person who's posted on this thread who doesn't recognize that without Wilf we would probably have been relegated before now.

He has been one of the greatest players the club has had
BUT
Some of us see it as a backward step to bring him back.

As I see it:
- we have a manager whose philosophy is one of the team comes first and that every player, no matter how bright their star, has a responsibility to play for the benefit of the team and to support other team members.
- For Glasner the team must be greater than the sum of the parts.

Consequently, I ask myself these questions

- Is Wilf really capable of being a 100% team player?
- when he goes to ground will he get up and get on with it?
- can he accept he's no longer number 1?
- can he accept that he won't necessarily be a starter?
- would he be an encourager to other players as senior players ought to be?

I have serious doubts about the answer to any of them being 'yes'.

There's a reason Gala want to offload him and they play in a lesser league than Palace.

Wages are just too high....I don't think Zaha wanted to come here anyway but I'm not that bothered if those contract details are correct.

My 10p worth…

He is without doubt a club legend and also without him we would never be where we are now because as we would have been relegated long ago.

Wilf is 31 not 61. 31 these days is probably similar to a 28 year old 10 / 15 years ago. He was always fit and recovered from injury pretty quickly. Considering how much he was chopped down it’s amazing that he got up and never really had a serious injury.

He played under a manager in Roy that as good as he was to keep us stable and in the premier league was gave us the most dire football ever, it really was the polar opposite to OG. Yes Wilf got the hump and moaned but Christ, I would have moaned and despaired playing that way with that talent.

Let’s be honest we cleaned up financially with Olise and will likely clean up with MG. Spending a little bit of that on a known quantity in Wilf for a season or 2, seems like no brainier to me.

Imagine if it works and Wilf, having sorted his dream of playing in the champions league and now in a team of technically sound and forward thinking players comes to life. He terrified defenders on his own, imagine him now with the likes of Wharton, Munoz and the all new all scoring JPM.

Absolutely a yes from me. He is Palace through and through.
