Player Valuation: £60m
His brother, who is his agent, definitely wants him to leave.(Can't think why!) Wilf, I think less so. He's been away once and, largely not of his making, it didn't work. He's been with us since he was 10. It would be a big wrench for him.You're in a tough spot. If Zaha is going to move, and if Palace is going to cash in, it needs to be soon and you've only got (it seems) on suitor. But does he really want to leave? And if he doesn't, can Palace build up around him and push up the table?
You would hope so. A realistic ambition for us at the moment is top half. We need him and a couple of decent transfers in to kick on. Not holding my breath.
