Wilf is presently our best attacking outlet by a long way. In fact probably our only one beyond Ayew. If he had played fully on Weds night surely somebody would of got a touch, however brief in Pools pen area ? As a result if he leaves we will have a hole to fill, in an area which we have struggled with for seasons. How big the hole will be is difficult to assess as we will need to see the replacement that the team will definitely need.

I don't think PVA would get even half the stats going forward without Zaha in the side on the left.

Take his Bournemouth assist for Ayew's goal. He's got in round the back because Bournemouth's entire right side is watching Zaha.

We look properly flat without Zaha, but then I guess we don't have his 'replacement in the side'.

Accepting he is likely to go, if we got good money that allowed us to get McNeil and one other in (Fraser or Benhrama would be dreamland), I'd bite your hand off.

One of the few things I admired about Rooney. He always shot with his head over the ball and was rarely off target. It amazes me that so few pros adhere to this basic rule.

I have now sufficient funds to last me the rest of my life. Provided I don't buy anything.

Wilf in every game i have seen him play has tried his best on that day for the team. Wilf would love to annd win things who blame him. If some team pays what are owner thinks is a fair price then Wilf can leave with my heart felt thanks and blessing. Wilf continues to work hard as part of out team.

My view on this is this - WZ is still a relatively young man, he is in the midst of his professional career as a footballer & as we all know ( at least the older ones of us do) the years go past pretty fast -
I am sure Wilf will want to be in a position whereby ( when he hangs up his boots) he can say to his kids & probably his grand kids that he gave it his best shot, he played for some great teams, he won a few trophies & in some parts of the world he will always be fondly remembered, there is absolutely nothing wrong in that.
Now - as of the position today - he is worth a lot to Palace, he is loved as a part of the club in most quarters & unless someone comes in with a serious bid of decent proportions he will remain a Palace player - I personally really enjoyed seeing him mature a bit yesterday as the team captain for the day & I think it did him the world of good, I would hope its something that continues, but if someone comes in for him because of the good work that he has done with us ( at a price that we as a club can agree to) then its good luck to him & off he will go.
