This post has been merged from a topic called 'The Wilfried Zaha Thread' by Midlands Eagle Originally posted by NEILLO Wilf got booked early in the game and that seemed to upset him. He has been a way short of his best this season. It's time we stopped being so reliant on one player. Much as I will miss him, the time looks increasingly right for him to move on. Spot on, he has been poor and under par all season. Lost a load of pace, slows our attacks down, no goals and two assists all season however sulks a plenty! Some of the games we may as well have played with ten men he was that ineffective and disinterested...Sheffield United away for example, mind you they were all dire that day.

This post has been merged from a topic called 'The Wilfried Zaha Thread' by Midlands Eagle I love Wilf, and I agree that when he's gone, we're going to be an automatic relegation candidate. But...he's been awful the past few matches. Against Chelsea he was almost embarrassing. Most times he touched the ball he was dispossessed immediately. The other times, he held the ball until covered, then did a useless back pass to someone. After 90 minutes, the only positive thing he contributed was one decent pass to McCarthy once we were losing 2-0. At no point did he make a run, or take on defenders. I doubt he even needed a shower after the match was over. So yes, please just sell him and get it over with. He's the best ever to wear our shirt, but it's over. We did nothing with all that AWB money, so whatever we get for Zaha apparently won't go to help the team anyway. I have no idea what our plan is, but clearly Zaha has no part in it. 2017 Feb.

This post has been merged from a topic called 'The Wilfried Zaha Thread' by Midlands Eagle I agree that Zaha has been poor this season and his attitude has looked bad. However, Hodgson’s tactics have been part of the cause. Considering he is our only attacking threat he seems to be asked to do more defending and covering this season. The full back marking him on Saturday, James, was more of a threat to us than Zaha was to them which can’t be right. I can see the same thing happening next game with Trent Alexander Arnold. If the system is not working , Hodgson’s too inflexible to change it. Move Zaha to the right, give him a free role, just get him in the game. With 8 other players already behind the ball, and a centre forward in Ayew who seems to do most of his work supplementing the midfield, I’m sure Zaha could be allowed to play with more freedom. If we’re not careful Roy will turn Zaha into Townsend.

Hodgson crushes out any sign of flair. Thanks Roy for your work in bringing us this far, but I for one will be glad when you are gone, because it is quite evident that you cannot take this side further, and have turned us into one of the dullest sides to watch in the league.

Let's take the money and rebuild the squad, not the stadium,on this occasion. If that were to be true then absolutely take the money and run.... It is quite clear he no longer wants to be here and I often wonder if his actions/sulking this season is having a negative impact on the rest of the squad... On his performances so far this season is be amazed if anyone offered £70m this season but something needs to change. I say we say goodbye to a truly amazing servant to our club and an outstanding talent but the time has come to move on and build again Don't waste your time with jealousy. Sometimes your ahead, sometimes your behind, the race is long. But in the end it's only with yourself!!

This post has been merged from a topic called 'The Wilfried Zaha Thread' by Midlands Eagle As I said a few pages back, I do think United is the best fit for him from the big clubs. James on the right and Wilf on the left and Rashford and Martial would give make them a huge threat on the break. There aren't many top attacking players outside the top 6 who have PL experience and who could add a real threat, so this rumour doesn't seem that far fetched. Plus United could get him cheaper due to the sell-on clause. I think it all really depends on what Parish wants.
