It's the parasites called agents that stir most of the sh1t regarding their star clients as they smell big money. I am certain we will lose Wilf sooner or later but please not to Everton or Spurs. Wilf is good enough for the likes of Man C, Barcelona, Bayern Munich and Real Madrid so why the feck should Everton think they are a big enough lure for Wilf.

I honestly can’t see Zaha leaving until next season I think we will get one more year from him and dependant on how we do will determine if he stays beyond.

Plus if he has another great season then we will get top dollar for him.

However what does worry me is how quiet he and SP have been throughout this window which makes me wonder if there could be some truth in these reports/rumours.

I just wish someone would come out and tell us, in the early days SP was very open and spoke a lot to us fans via twitter etc a bit like the owner of Peterboro but since the FDB debacle SP has gone very quiet.

I can’t help feel that not all is well in the ship at present, hope I am wrong but can’t help how the gut is feeling.

TBH if we can keep this squad after the window has closed this might actually turnout to be a good window in a bizarre kind of way.

Please can someone ITK shed some light.

The only thing I have been told is Michail Antonio will definitely be a Palace Player and RLC will be back on loan.

Very good post. But as you know, central midfield isn’t a place for a youth player in this league.

Parish has been good at hiring the obvious managers available at the time (even Pardew because of the abuse), plus tbf Roy although I doubt anybody else wanted the job considering the summer mess and beyond. Parish is also great at signing the odd player at huge prices but now the lack of a strategy and scouting has caught up with him and us and explains the silence. I don’t actually expect much of a statement but I expect some logical signings or a lack of obvious reasonably priced ones that effectively relegate us. We’ll see. This is when Parish earns his ‘wage’, rather than recruiting from a Premier League sticker album at premium prices, same as Pardew.

I know I'll get slaughtered for saying this, but would it be the worst thing in the world to sell wilf for 70 mill. It worries me that we rely so heavily on one player, as it seemed last season. If we were to sell him for 70 mill we could strengthen the whole team and make us less dependent on one player. It seems pretty obvious we don't have s lot of money to spend, so we will be heavily dependent on him again if he stays. So what happens if he breaks his leg against an over enthusiastic Fulham side.

It only takes one bad tackle and that’s it. Look at Oxlade-Chamberlain out for over a year, Bolasie out most of last season, Wickham out indefinitely it seems. It seems he wants to go, bit like Ian Wright did, there is nothing a club can do to keep them.
Time will reveal all.
