Could be a flurry of moves soon.

No one is really talking about contingencies if Wilf were to get injured. If he stays, as I hope he does in spite of what his talent deserves, then we would need to be certain that we have enough depth in our squad to ensure we can (in part) fill his boots whilst he is here. Replacing Wilf would be hard, but are we seriously looking to contend in the PL when the depth of our squad offers the likes of Ayew and Alexander Sloth?

I am hoping that we can grab a couple of lower league gems like Ollie Watkins for example and see how they fair. I was disappointed we weren't in for Lookman this window and Andre Gray in whatever window that was. All this potentially alongside Wilf to bolster rather than maintain.

So I manage a Workshop which provides a safe learning environment for blokes struggling with PTSD and other mental health issues. Being a Palace fan isn't listed yet.

I don't agree, the closer we get to the transfer window closing, the more chance of holding on to Zaha for another year, also i can't see Perish selling Zaha with in a week of the window shutting and not having time to get a suitable replacement, he is not going to go out and buy just anybody for the sake of getting any old replacement.

Without direct quotes from Wilf / Steve Parish, it's hard to decipher what's really going on.

But if I was a cynic I would say that it's been a classic case of a player agitating for a move by allowing speculation to mount via third parties.

I said a few weeks ago that if this turns really messy then Wilf could suffer a backlash from the fans and it seems to be heading in that direction.

I don't begrudge him a move, but....he was happy enough to sign a big, long term deal a year ago. If it's his '' dream '' to play for Arsenal, strange timing on his part as that club are in transition and not playing in the Champions League.

And speaking of timing...this should all of come out at the end of last season, not now. Palace move slowly enough in the transfer market without the additional pressure of trying to find a replacement with the new season not far away.

Old, Ungifted and White

With only 20 days to go its too late for Wilf to go whatever the fee, if he has to go it has to be straight after the end of next season, he has too be told that, Parish has to put the club first, he has already stated that both AWB and Wilf will not be sold in the same window, Wilfs wants are irrelevant.
