2+2=5 reporting. He didn't sign the offer before his current contract expired, hence he rejected the contract.

He still might sign it if not better/other offer comes in.

I hope what's happenned is that SP has offered Zaha the full 200k etc if he signed before his contract expired, after that - the offer on the table would not be so dramatic. but I doubt it.

"It was a Team effort, I guess it took all players working together to lose this one"

It seems a reasoable suggestion that if he was commotted to staying he would have signed the new contract already.
The conclusion has to be that he is exploring his options as is his right.
It would also be a reasonable conclusion to draw that clubs haven't been beating down his door for his services or he would already have been snapped up already.
He may have had a club or clubs say we're interested, but x and y have to fall in place first before we can conclude a deal.
What is evident is that Palace is not his first choice or he would have already signed.

Good points, But, how do we (hol) know that he hasn't already signed & that the announcement is being witheld till a suitable time, bearing in mind he only got married sat. Just a thought, thats all.

This operation, will make the 'Charge Of The Light Brigade' seem like a simple military exercise.

Lazio, Fenerbache or Saudi seem to be his only options. Not a great choice. As much I love him, Palace have got to remove the contract offer and move on or we look like desperate fools.

Fair point and the way the Palace cogs grind in terms of announcements we might not know for many weeks. Roy's full season had been agreed some weeks back on the BBC but was only announced today. I'd be happy to have Wilf return on a 2 year deal even on big wages. Not a 4 year one though. How is his fitness though, bearing in mind his injury last season (another good reason not to go for a lengthy contract) ? If these contract negotiations move slowly will he be ready for the beginning of the season, as is he in training ? Doubt it. With Olise unavailable another player on the side lines isn't great preparation. COYP !!

He is just stringing everyone along. A person like that cannot be 100 percent committed to Palace only settling for it . What ever happened to the Palace DNA Steve and we don't want any player who are not 100 percent committed to the club .
