In the past month we have seen sudden changes at the Palace.

PV out Roy in. Zaha breaking down again with another serious soft tissue injury.

Our first team, reformed under Roy, coming up with 100% win record in three games.

My concern with Wilf moving forwards is a bit like Jimmy Mac. Is he starting to pay the penalty from the pressure on his body from the modern game?

Many have said over the past 18 months how he is losing his pace.

Although this season he has played very well, my view is he is starting to feel it. Both physically and mentally.

With the cracking victories under Roy, we are almost certainly safe and Im sure we will be totally safe in the next few games. The team is looking unshackled and playing very well as a team.

Wilf's wages are now totally out of sync with the rest of the squad. He gets paid 50% more than the next best paid player.

He has no sales value left for us as he is virtually out of contract.

In my view, we are suddenly in a no lose situation with Wilf.

We are winning without him at a time when he has no monetary value to us anymore.

If he decides to go that is the end of the matter. If he stays, I would move his salary in line with our other top stars and I would not expect so much from him on a regular basis. Give his body a chance in his thirties.

We all know he loves Palace, but he needs to do what is best for himself moving forwards.

My advise to Wilf would be Saudi as I believe, like with Golf, they are in the process of building a platform to attract more top stars and the financial rewards are mind boggling.

Interesting situation. The team, very well led by Roy, has dispersed our concerns of life without Zaha so we are all becoming more relaxed about his future.

Either way, Wilf has given us all years of fantastic performances never to be forgotten. He is already cemented for life in the top levels of our hall of fame.

Whichever way it goes, I wish him all the best moving forwards.

I don't see him going to Saudi for 2 reasons:
1. He still harbours illusions of playing in the Champions League or Europa League
2. He doesn't need the money.

Didn’t realise this was purely a Wilf ‘owned’ song and couldn’t be sung for any other player. Personally I couldn’t care less what he thinks, good or bad. Eze is deserving, the fans yesterday certainly thought it.

Bring back Brolin

It the seems the most likely destination amongst English clubs who will be in Europe next year. I also saw a rumour that Newcastle might not be offering ASM an extension, which if true may be relevant.

How do we know Wilf hasn't already signed a pre-deal with another club?

I have watched Tyrick closely in last three games & he plays more confidently & plays to middle not now looking to the left wing 99.9% of the time

Yet when he does look down the flank he doesn’t see a certain person flapping his arms or pulling grimaced face at him -

Forever Palace Proud

Time for both parties to move on.
Wilf, gets his dream move to play Champions League football,we free up his massive waves and are grateful for the memories of this Palace legend.
