Wilf was poor yesterday; his first touch was poor, his passing was poor and he couldn't even beat his man most of the time. City seemed to get to him early with some off the ball stuff like holding, etc., and he never found his rhythm. In fairness though, there was a complete lack of support in the opposition third and he did create one of our only two shots on goal. Sterling by contrast has benefited from patience, support and one of the best collection of teammates in the world. He has developed into the player he is now as a result of that. It's like Wright said about Gabriel Jesus, so long as you're in the penalty area you're almost guaranteed to score goals playing for Man City.

You can't feel sorry for Wilf as he chose to sign that big contract with us, but I think from a neutral perspective he did himself no favours staying at Palace where we are now very defensive minded. However, from a Palace perspective he needs to pull his thumb out of his a*se and start showing he can live with the best. He would do well to look at how hard Sterling and Mane work for their respective teams and not just focus on the attacking side, especially in games when we're on the back foot.

We should've taken anything over £60mil for him in the summer.
End of.

Zaha on form is worth a lot of money to us but no decent team would touch him with a barge pole. He looks great on the highlight reels on MOTD but a game lasts 90 odd minutes and his overall game is dreadful at times and most of this season.

He definitely looks like he has lost a lot of pace and those little tricks he does don't seem to be fooling the better defenders.

I still can't get my head around what he did to De Bruyne in the box on Saturday. He just shoved him with both hands out of frustration.

I think after the summer debacle he now lost the love of a lot of the fans and we are definitely not hearing "he's just too good for you" sang as much this season.His days are numbered at the club and I don't thinnk a lot of fans will miss him on current form.

A distinct possibility eh!

The Telegraph reports that Chelski will have £150m to spend in January if their transfer embargo is lifted & the Express reports that Wilf & Timo Werner top their lists. Who will we get in exchange for Wilf & how much £ looks like its going to boil down to.
Wilf has been playing like he's already left in most of the games so far; Batshuayi is younger than Giroud so the better long term option. James the right back would be a good addition as well.
If we get straight £ what strikers could we buy in January without paying way over the top for them?

I’ll be very surprised if Chelsea want and pay big money for Zaha. Odoi is much better than Zaha on what he actually brings to a team. Maybe that could change but Zaha is on a decline physically anyway.
