Joining Everton doesn't get Wilf Champions League etc, and doesn't make sense. He may get to be a regular starter, but who says The Toffees will get in to the top 5 places.
Use Wilf(bearing in mind he may not have encouraged all this talk) to get us into the middle of the season in a good position, and then maybe a January transfer), if that's what Wilf would accept. He is under contract and on great wages, so where is the urgency, it just makes todays contracts worthless to the club, and the greed of earning several million a year, which in my opinion is obscene.
Keeping my fingers crossed today waiting for the window to shut with Wilf still with us, and then maybe get some answers from SP, about CPFC future.

Of all the players I’ve met he has never been that friendly, a few seasons ago my step son (spurs fan) wrote to Harry Kane and received a letter and signed photo. My son wrote to Wilf and received nothing. He went down in my estimations then, Harry Kane was a much bigger star and still my step son received a personal reply. I did from Gareth Southgate when I was a kid, I have a lot of respect for people that have time for those who idolise/ look up to them Jules was by far the best.
Wilfried seems to spend more time posing with the riches he has acquired on instagram than interacting with fans and seems to lack humility. I will be gutted if we lose him a very talented possibility the most talented footballer I have seen live. That said I thought we would lose a bit of our identity if we sold Wilf, now I’m starting to feel like he’s some one that I as a fan can’t relate to and he has lost his identity. He ain’t South London and proud anymore more a mercenary.

Agree with this. Time to cash in now and build a future without him. Relied on him for far too long. Shows just how highly rated he is outside selhurst Park that the only suitors are Everton, who are not much better than us.

I just hope Wilf doesn't end up playing for Everton on Saturday - especially since we've already sold the one defender who could stop him. Now he's put in a transfer request, it could happen, I suppose.

Just curious, but does anyone know if Asset-Stripping of a Premier League football club is illegal?

Depressed.

Everton forums happy that " on the forums Palace fans have turned against Zaha " so he likely won't play on Saturday whatever the situation.

Personally, I think the anti Zaha talk on here is pointless and band wagon jumping.

We have no ideas what is actually going on or who promised what to who.

End of the day, it's all about the money.

Responsibility Deficit Disorder is a medical condition. Symptoms include inability to be corrected when wrong, false sense of superiority, desire to share personal info no else cares about, general hubris. It's a medical issue rather than pure arrogance.

Club has put pictures of him in training yesterday and he looks fine. Can't see him kicking off if he stays, and we don't have time to replace him. If we could get Watkins and Walcott on loan then perhaps.
