This post has been merged from a topic called 'The Wilfried Zaha Thread' by Midlands Eagle This post has been merged from a topic called 'Zaha wants out' by Midlands Eagle Originally posted by Badger11 I seem to remember that comment when Spurs pinched Bostock from us and complained to the tribunal that the price was too high and they were taking a risk. Don't pinch the player then. Is the logical conclusion. Or make a £20m offer for Kane, record their answer and play it back if they start on about Wilf.

Levy put in a derisory bid for Wilf in the past, unsettling him in the process.

But if today was his last game for us then please go quickly with all our thank you's and good luck's. If not please come out and say you are staying as AWB has done. Just don't want a close season of if's, but's and maybe's - followed by a ludicrously low offer from Levy at the end of the window. So if he's going let him go as early in the window as possible. Destination difficult to see if as we are lead to believe he wants Champs League/European Football; Won't go abroad got homesick in Manchester. Man City, Liverpool don't need him. Man U no way going back there. Spuds - Levy won't pay what we want. Can only see Arsenal or Chelsea - latter dependent on their transfer embargo. Replacement for me would be Lookman also take Ollie Watkins from Brentford. Bottom line for me is please put up or shut up..!! Meantime we can celebrate a very good season - 49 points and 12th place - would have taken that in December..!! COYP

He'll have to see what offers are on the table in the summer and therefore can't commit either way. Man City/Liverpool - no, won't be a regular Man Utd - No. they are in free fall as a club and he's been burnt there before. Chelsea - No. Transfer embargo. Arsenal - Possible. Depends on Champions League qualification. Tottenham - Most likely. Levy will have to get the cheque book out to keep Pochettino. They are the closest challenger to Man City/Liverpool. New stadium, good team, London based. Attractive option

This post has been merged from a topic called 'The Wilfried Zaha Thread' by Midlands Eagle This post has been merged from a topic called 'Zaha wants out' by Midlands Eagle This post has been merged from a topic called 'Zaha going?' by bexleydave The key thing is we won't let him go until we have a suitable replacement lined up, and only for a good price too (£70m+). After that it'd be all about how we spend the rest of the money I don't want to sell him but I if we do it properly it could prove to be a very shrewd and calculating bit of business for our future

The risk is that Parish lets him go cheap and we don’t get anything’ like enough to buy even a poor replacement. A true like for like would be someone like Willian. All the other names I have seen are not a true replacement. Plus if Freedman is in charge it will be wasted. I think he’s going nowhere. Following Palace since 25 Feb 1978

Well, yes. And of course he could also get injured but if he stayed we could reasonably expect another five years out of him. It’s a reflection on the PL that despite finishing in mid table and staying up for several years we’re essentially in the same position as a non league team when it comes to holding onto any star or potential star players.

The only star player we’ve sold since being in the Prem is Bolasie. The last we were hoping didn’t go was Scott Dann, and then he got a long term injury soon after. We’ll just have to deal with Zaha going if the offer is fair and he wants to go, as happened with Bolasie, rather than make the decision ourselves. COYP

Totally disagree with this comment. Mid-table Prem stability allows us to pay Wilf £130k a week on a long contract. He'll stay unless someone can pony up at least that plus a hefty transfer fee. A significant barrier to someone else coming in for him. Vive le Roy!
