This post has been merged from a topic called 'The Wilfried Zaha Thread' by Midlands Eagle Originally posted by Vaibow Totally understand clubs occassionally need to sell to top up profits and to organically move the squad round. But you said it yourself, high fees on certain areas, not creating depth, bleeding money through managerial changes, it will hit you. That's why i think it's a shame as in hindsight, not necessary - pardew should have been gone after FA cup and at least we would have not had the merry go round of Allardyce, FDB then Roy. anywyas hindsight is the word. However, now really is the time to sell wilf. We could have a shocking season and go down, he could be injured, we could be flying high and come december he shows he wants to go and then all down hill. He's gone next summer so why delay the inevitable. Edited by Vaibow (20 Jul 2018 12.11am) Agree apart from selling Wilf now unless Roy is confident he can deliver the short, medium and long term survival with the funds with THREE WEEKS LEFT IN THE WINDOW!!!!!!!!!!!

This post has been merged from a topic called 'The Wilfried Zaha Thread' by Midlands Eagle Originally posted by Vaibow It's a joke that a after 6 years in the prem we are in the situation where we need to sell our best player to kick on. It should be built around him. Here you say you want us to build the team around him and the next post you say we need to sell him and cash in now... No way we’re gonna sell him this window and I personally doubt we’d sell him in the next window or any window unless he says he really wants a new challenge. Enjoy the fact the lad currently wants to be a palace legend.

That takes a while to recover from. The January window purchases effectively made no contribution on the pitch Wilf did not start 10 games. in the others we averaged 1.57 points per game; that's a 60 point season We had a host of injuries which would be hard to replicate. Sakho and Tomkins started just 10 games together - of which we won 6 and drew 4 As a Palace fan, why wouldn't you want to see him play for your club as long as possible. Over the past 50 years, I'd say along with Wright and Rogers he has been our most exciting player

This post has been merged from a topic called 'The Wilfried Zaha Thread' by Midlands Eagle Whatever the sourcing, my gut tells me that he probably has asked to leave. He probably is concerned about the lack of new players but I would be astonished if he'd expressed that to any journalist directly. Would an agent allow himself to be led down that path? 100% yes, guaranteed. it's a useful justification to position his client as an upstanding sort. if he did go, beyond the replacement issue, there's the question of what other players would think: Luka, Sakho, even Tomkins. Their chances of win bonuses would get bashed. If you want to live in a world full of kindness, respect and love, try to show these qualities.

If you believe that clickbait article, then you’re dumber for having read it. No smoke without fire though, and in the last 24 hours his names been appearing everywhere. I don’t think it’s crazy to suggest Wilf may be getting tired of playing a relegation battle every year. My guess would be that he’ll start to make mutterings this summer, with the view of moving on either in January or next summer. The latter most likely. I don’t think for one second he’ll want to ever disrespect the club. But if he does indeed want to move on, there is only so much we could and should do to stand in his way.

My only issue is perhaps that the man himself is yet to come out to say I am happy or I am staying as a response to this speculation. Wolf is mercurial but I do worry that if he is unhappy his form may dip. If he really wants to go let him. He can always come back.

This post has been merged from a topic called 'The Wilfried Zaha Thread' by Midlands Eagle At the end of the season Wilf was interviewed and said he had no reason to leave and expressed how happy he was at the club. What has changed in the last couple of months? Unofficially we have heard that he has turned down a new contract despite having 4 years on the current one. Hodgson said last week the club had no intention of selling him. Despite this we have a constant spate of stories which appear to have been planted by agents (including his own) and journalists. In my view the only way he will be sold is if he’s now unhappy and asks to go and if the club decide to cash in on the back of reported financial problems. Parish said last season it would make no sense to sell because it would be a gamble. You would have to shell out most of the fee to buy an equivalent player who may not work out or have the same impact as Wilf. However, if the club have moved the goalposts and are now just looking to survive there may be mileage in the stories.
