Why do you hope so?

I reckon he’s off this summer. Good luck to the lad.

It’s interesting reading through the thread - whereas in years gone by people would have been “wetting themselves” over Zaha potentially going - the weight of opinion seems to be happy to see him go - so perhaps this has come to a natural conclusion on both sides.

For me Zaha has been great for Palace - in years to come and time to reflect we’ll appreciate just how great - up there with Samson and Wright for me - but all good things must come to an end and IMO we have reached that point.

If we can get decent money for him c.£40M - then reinvest in Eze, Watkins and Fraser for example - this becomes exciting and the start of a new era and again IMO would make us stronger than last season.

I’d like to see us also invest in a new CB - someone young like Bella-Ketchap would be excellent and building for the future.

I’d also like us to get Butland and ship out Hennessey in preparation for Guaita going.

Good question. I just think it's another club apparently expressing interest, and it's definitely time for him to move on, and we need the money! I guess if he does go I'd prefer it to be a European club, as if he did go to another PL club, he would for sure score or make the winning goal!

I get the feeling I am in the minority on here regarding wanting Zaha to stay. I won’t cry if he does leave but I would love him to stay.

Lots of people moaning about our boring football but in the same breath are willing our most exciting player (possibly ever) to leave to leave the club. Lots of you seem more concerned with the clubs finances than football. I don’t get excited on a Saturday afternoon to sit down and stare at the clubs balance sheets, I want to watch football and Wilf Zaha.

I know be had a very poor season last year but so did 80% of our squad. People seem very angry that he wants to leave, there is nothing wrong with wanting to leave. If you look at any decent player outside the top clubs in England they would all want to leave their clubs for bigger things, that is called ambition.

People saying he has disrespected the Palace fans. Tell we when he has done this?

I know we will be fine as a club if he does leave but I for one would much rather he stayed.
