Yes, it was a nice goal from Wilf. Townsend scored similar, and let's not forget the best of the bunch, Ayew dancing past wooden Wet Spam players before chipping the keeper. Now that was a goal!

For me right now, it's Gallagher. But in terms of players who are better than Wilf: Guehi Guehi is a good defender but hard to compare him to an attacker

Ayew is a striker. Let's not forget he was the main man in 2019/20 season:

The Mail is reporting this morning that Wilf is not planning to sign a new contract despite Palace’s desire to sign him up to an extension.

Well it looks like he'll be gone whatever. As he can't do what he used to and has a terrible attitude to boot, the best the club can hope for is a club like Newcastle come in. He's been here too long, and he knows it. Ideas of CL football were just a figment of his imagination, if he were really as good as his agent thinks he is he would be there by now.

Not really much we can do about it. Power is in his hands, unless (like he has before) Parish throws silly money at the problem. Personally I'd offer him another year or 2 extension, if he doesn't want it that's fine. Not going to force him to stay

Wilf's position is not irreplacable. There are only a few select players who have long service at a single club. Usually they get less game time as the years go by, and they use their experience to positively influence younger players. If anything Wilf is getting more immature as time goes on.

It's all been said many times now. Used to enjoy his contribution to the game. Not any more. Only occasional glimmers of the player he used to be. His value, both as a player, and financially has reduced significantly. Prefer to get a few bob for him and let other young talent pick up the talisman mantle. Please Mr Parish, don't be suckered into paying him more money. He's no longer worth it.
Dad and I watched games standing on the muddy slope of the Holmesdale Road end. He cheered and I rattled. |

For me right now, it's Gallagher. But in terms of players who are better than Wilf: Guehi Gallagher I agree but he isn’t OUR player so can’t really count him in. Olise and Eze are exciting talents but neither has consistently performed at premier league level. If Eze didn’t have a horror injury he could be in the debate but we won’t see the best of him until next season in all likelihood. Guehi is class and if we could get a string of clean sheets I think he could be a bolted for WC squad. Think he’s better than White, Godfrey or Webster who are all being talked about. But can we realistically compare a CB to a striker/winger? In terms of attackers, I think Wilf is our best players by some distance.

Sometimes you just gotta let em go - we have had this conversation so many times - if he wants out then we have 3 choices - Throw money at it - The business side of this has been done to death - If you love someone set them free, if they come back they are truly yours, if they don't , they never were.

If he leaves he will end his career a very well paid bit part player and bench warmer
