I'm wondering how much truth there was in the 4 year contract or £200,000. Perhaps the truth was nowhere near that Nail. On. Head.
Jackson.. Wan Bissaka.... Sansom.. Nicholas.. Cannon.. Guehi.... Zaha... Thomas.. Byrne... Holton.. Rogers.. that should do it.. |

Perhaps the truth was nowhere near that It always sounded like a nonsense to me and defied economic logic, let alone dressing room togetherness and the issue of player fitness. The whole saga is baffling, none more so then the unveiling of the mural at a time when a star player is leaving, or is he staying? Oh, he's gone? Well how about that. No farewells, no well wishers, no balloons and no party.

Sad he's gone, hope he smashes it up at Gala, relieved we never paid the purported sums. I'll be cheering him on when he plays for them.
If you want to live in a world full of kindness, respect and love, try to show these qualities. |

Sky sports are reporting a £2m signing on fee and just £72k a week contract. So Wilf has nearly halved what he was getting paid, let alone what we were potentially willing to pay him. My only take from that, is that Wilf really was desperate to play for a club in the Champions League.

If he went to any of the otherEuropean clubs he would likely be part of a squad rotation system and not be first choice. At Gala he should be on the team sheet without question and therefore hopefully playing CL football.
hats off to palace, they were always gonna be louder, and hate to say it but they were impressive ALL bouncing and singing. |

Also whist the Turkish club may be paying him 72k, might there be some entity in the background supplementing it? Who knows what goes on behind closed doors?

He gave a fair bit of his wages to charities in the UK and Ivory Coast, he just didn't bang on about it. Perhaps one or two on here who labelled Zaha greedy will review their position.
