I can understand where you’re coming from and can see validity in the points you raise. However, there is another side to the story. Wilf has been in a position to sign a pre-contract with an overseas club since January. He was injured and missed the end of the season and has had plenty of time to sort out his future with interested clubs knowing his contract expired at the end of June. This delay compromises the club’s position. Are we saying to players we are interested in that it’s dependent upon Wilf going? Doesn’t exactly inspire confidence in our determination to seal the deal if there is competition that has no such pre-condition. Furthermore, we would be reputedly giving our biggest ever contract to a declining asset if the stories of our offer to Zaha are correct. Although it’s correct to say it’s unusual for our club of our stature to be able to retain the services of such a prized asset for so long, and we’d be unlikely to be able to buy a player of equivalent talent to Zaha, the question for me is the club should be determining future strategy not Zaha.

Wow, some real pent up emotional cobblers here - firstly no one says "get rid of Zaha", the fact is his contract has expired, therefore he's not a Palace player any longer, he's already gone. If the club wishes to negotiate a new contract then that is the club's prerogative and the player's choice to enter those negotiations. If the player wishes to look elsewhere after stating a desire to play CL football, then that is his prerogative. I can help but feel that he's fishing around for the best deal, and why should the club wait on him? The club is bigger than the player always.

There is no shortage of posts on this and many other threads saying we'd be better off without Zaha, time to move on, not worth the money/hassle etc. Just scroll up. The club is bigger than any player, yes, but the club is also only as good as its players. If it were simple, or even possible, to replace Zaha with someone as good or better then the club could set him a deadline, but it's not. Whether we like it or not, Zaha holds all the cards. We need him more than he needs us.
