This post has been merged from a topic called 'The Wilfried Zaha Thread' by Midlands Eagle This is a good piece and I guess almost on the nail. I would have preferred to be rid of Wilf now as I can only see him being a disruptive influence on the squad. Let us all hope he shows true professionalism and pulls through this and knuckles down. Facts are SP did rescue his career and he has and is being rewarded accordingly. We also have to remember our owners are in this as a business and not a charity.

This post has been merged from a topic called 'The Wilfried Zaha Thread' by Midlands Eagle Is it nailed on that Wilf won't feature this weekend? Because in light of the circumstances I can't think of a better game to win the fans back over. If he plays vs the team that tried to buy him and he plays well...then I would say we would all move on from this saga and get back to being positive. The transfer window has been somewhat of a let down after failing to replace AWB but I keep reminding myself that it is Palace that kept hold of an £80m winger who is still better than all the other wingers signed in this window...we still have the better player. Just remains to be seen if Wilf is going to be effective for Palace.

This post has been merged from a topic called 'The Wilfried Zaha Thread' by Midlands Eagle Reminds me of when Blackburn made big noises about signing Geoff Thomas just before the season started and then they changed their mind. We played them first game and GT had a very poor game. Now his scowling face is going to be even more scowling. Some fans will give him abuse, especially if we're struggling and so on. Whole thing's yet another disaster.

Wilf would not be picked because of no pre-season and probably only one and a half training sessions since returning from holiday, no other reason.

This post has been merged from a topic called 'The Wilfried Zaha Thread' by Midlands Eagle What if nobody bids over say £55 mil or £60 mil next year? You can see a situation of him being here another 18 or 24 months as his contract gets closer to expiry. The more I think about it I think we should move him out next season for our own good as much as he thinks it’s for his own good. He’s now being paid £160k and if we don’t sell him next summer we could be in tricky situations with possible injuries etc. Clubs may also sense we need him off the wage bill. Zaha at Palace will get messier and more problematic if he’s still at Palace beyond next summer. We should sell asap next summer and have the benefit of never dealing with his team again, unless he comes back begging for another chance on a 50% or more wage cut, which will never happen so hopefully we can wave goodbye to each other in May without any of this unsavoury sh1t going on he’s been aware of, drummed up by his embarrassing teenage employees.

Rudi, I thought he was on £130k, where has that salary increase been reported and was it from a reliable source?

Who was stitched up? Wilf? Palace? The bro w@nkers? It’s possible this deal stitches up both Zaha and Palace, just at different times during the contract. My opinion that we should sell him anyway next summer is growing because there is of course the danger he has an injury orcdevelops injury problems and then we really are stuffed, and when you look at the players we could’ve signed this summer if we had our act together then I think life without Wilf isn’t necessarily going to be the Armageddon some have feared. It can make us a more dynamic and dangerous team coming from all angles, like what happened with RLC in the team. Yes I know we had Zaha and Townsend but the point stands. We are as predictable as it gets. Close down Wilf, close out Palace at Selhurst. Im referring to Wilf getting sticthed up, either by his advisors or by another club promising him they would make a bid if he put in a transfer request. He was led up the garden path and made to look very silly indeed. I agree completely that it could possibly benefit us when he does move on, we are a one trick pony with him on the pitch and everyone knows it, hence why every team tagets him and the fans abuse him.

We now know that Wilf want to move on! yes we are far too reliant on him and being a one trick show pony club. We have from now until the January window to find a replacement for him but i just dont have any faith in SP and DF doing that. They had all summer to find a right back and failed . We need to sort out the mess or we will have quite a few disgruntled players and manager. IMO
oh yeah ,fcuk off brighton. |

This post has been merged from a topic called 'The Wilfried Zaha Thread' by Midlands Eagle This was a mad window for full backs...they are the new hotness it would seem. Target to Villa for 15m wow he's pants and that's more than maybe we could even afford to replace AWB lol We are facing up to the fact that a decent championship full back is now worth more than 10m. An established prem right back is now out of price range. Europe is where we will find value, but that comes with more risk. It's all well and good people like Matteo listing 30 fullbacks and claiming to know their value...but we have seen world stars arrive in the prem and fail. Nothing is guaranteed.

Have i missed something? How is Wilf now being paid more money? I was going to ask the same. If this is correct, I find it distasteful and disrespectful to the rest of the team. No wonder Luka wants out
