Not sure anyone posting on these pages will encourage Wilf, I doubt he scours the pages of holmesdale.net on a nightly basis. Trump lost. Badly. Hahahahahahaha.

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 I think it’s true personally and I also feel partly driven by the club. Wilf is soon to be 27 so this is the time we can receive a huge fee. Price will begin to drop at 28/29. We have to move on from Wilf and invest in 19-20 year old to take us forward. It’s no coincidence Wilf was allowed to release an interview to the press about playing CL football and a week after the season ends, it comes out he wants to leave. Sounds like we want business done early so we can prepare for next season. I love Wilf but the club need to think about the next 10 years, not just the next two or three. Plus, wouldn’t we all want to see Wilf rip up the champions league and reach his potential. I know I would?

From Dom Fifield in the Guardian (pretty much exactly what the admins at Red & Blue News said - I'm sure Fifield is one of their very good, reliable sources some on here rubbished):

Crystal Palace may demand £100m to consider Wilfried Zaha sale
Palace sympathetic to Zaha’s wish to play in Champions League
Club not looking to sell and have not received any offers

Dominic Fifield

Crystal Palace are yet to receive any offers for Wilfried Zaha who, effectively for the third summer in succession, has made clear his preference would be to move to a Champions League-qualified club if an acceptable bid is lodged.

Zaha held informal talks this week with the Palace chairman Steve Parish, who enjoys a strong relationship with the youth-team graduate, in the wake of his most productive Premier League campaign and while he fell short of submitting a transfer request, reiterated his ambition to experience life involving Europe’s elite club competition.

The bond between club and player remains strong, with the Ivory Coast winger having made 285 appearances for Palace either side of a brief and unhappy stint at Manchester United since his debut more than nine years ago. Yet, while it is highly unlikely Zaha would agitate aggressively for a move, there has been no interest lodged formally as yet, and there remains the possibility the player will be priced off the market.

While Palace are sympathetic to the player’s wishes, they would seek a considerable fee before they would consider parting with their prized asset. The 26-year-old has ended the last two seasons privately expressing a desire to test himself at a higher level, only to be persuaded to sign a new five-year contract on each occasion. His deal is worth around £130,000 a week and extends to 2023.

The situation is further complicated by the reality United would be owed a considerable proportion of the fee as part of a sell-on agreement struck when the forward returned from Old Trafford on a permanent basis for a cut-price sum in early 2015.
