No chance Chelsea will want him. He's a great player for us but he's not good enough for a top 4 team. Yeah it's easy to say that. But if we had Ali playing for us we'd probably say the same thing.. Wilf is performing week in week out. With the best stats in the division. Simple question would be, would he perform just as well for a top 4 team? He might not be there star player but he could def do a job for any of them... Personally I'd think he'd walk in to the Chelsea, United, Tottenham or Arsenal team. Is Sterling better than him? How much better? If he is it's probably not by much? Simple difference is he's not playing in a big team and therefore not protected by the ref. He's pure class this season, totally turned a corner.
£60M minimum worth, if he does it again next season and scores a few more you can start thinking silly money!!!

Are you his agent, you seem very keen on him moving or getting ridiculous wages.

I know all the talk has been about Spurs but I'm wondering if that is his best fit If Hazard goes to Real Madrid, Wilf might be the ideal replacement. Conte appears to like a system where he can just replace players like for like and good close control winger with the ability to move inside and shoot hard are difficult to find Zaha's goal today can only up his rep and if he can carry on his recent form against the top sides in the next few weeks it will be good for him and Palace Of course I'd love him to stay but a top London club in the Champions league would be a big temptation Spurs may be restricted by their wage structure which they have done well to hold on to given some of the talent there You read like you're really a Chelsea fan ?

What is it about you lot wishing or worrying our players away? Threads like this "Wilf to...." are boring and self-defeatest at best. He's got 3 years left on his contract ffs! I agree. Too many Palace fans just accepting that "he's just too good for us" and that he will leave.

Hazard is a level or two above Wilf and no way would Chelsea be interested unless it was just to have him as a peripheral squad player. Best solution would be him to stay next season and we come sixth or seventh and Europa league. He could play for Everton and Southampton at that level now for sure but higher than that would be a tough ask.

Sadly I'm resigned to seeing him leave in the summer, regardless of what division we'll be playing in. Best move for him would be a Tottenham or Liverpool. I think he's an Arsenal fan, so if they were to come in for him that would be amazing for him and he would leave with my best wishes. Sadly he's not only to good for the opposition as the song goes, he's just to good for us now. Absolutely criminal that England have overlooked him.

We all want him to stay, but no matter how much ambition we show - it no longer becomes about money, he will want to win trophies and medals as a talent like his deserves. We will never be able to give him that.

Zaha is easily good enough for a top top team. Imagine the damage he could do when teams can't double mark him because they are playing against a team of top players. As for the going down debate, if he was doing it for A top team you can bet they would be given as penalties.

Things didn't work out for him at man u or England so maybe he doesn't want to play with deli Ali and co. or one of the top 6 clubs. Isn't there a scenario where we finish the season strongly and he decides to stay and show them what they are missing by starring for cpfc and Ivory Coast.

Seen this so many times before. Palace player comfortable at Palace. Is big fish in little pond. Moves to big pond and doesn't achieve anything of note. Who knows what will happen but this season he's been excellent, so far versus the lesser teams. More big teams coming up where we and they will be watching to see if he really has it or if the too good for us means he's good enough for Southampton.
