£60-70m is not an unreasonable price for a player of his outstanding quality. We'd be fools to accept anything less in the current climate.
I would be much happier with Wilfried going abroad when he eventually leaves, yes.
The fact that he played today obviously doesn't guarantee that he won't be leaving, but it does piss on the chips of those on here who have suggested that Zaha was throwing a tantrum and would refuse to play for us again.

I said most, not all. We lost Zaha, Sako, Cabaye, Schlupp and Loftus-Cheek to dodgy challenges and that's just off the top of my head.
Obviously Puncheon's tackle on De Bruyne was awful but to call Dann's an assault is a stretch of biblical proportions. Dann and Puncheon both injured themselves...
Of course it's going to be OK. It'll be a terrible shame if Wilf does leave, but Palace will still be in the Premier League next season and we're still likely to be in it the year after that.
If you disagree, you can still put money on Palace to get relegated at 7/1.
With muscular injuries you're absolutely right. Most of the injuries we suffered, however, were due to players being on the receiving end of dangerous tackles. Not much Roy can do about that.
"Some players got injured" is a rather understated way of putting it. At one stage we had 12 of our 25...
I'll keep re-reading these two lines of utter shite when Wilf does finally leave, in that hope that I might begin to share your delusion and thus stem the flow of tears.
I don't think that's what's happening. I think that Zaha has been a wonderful servant to our club. If he has decided that he wants to move to a Champions League side then it's a sad day for Palace fans but we'll thank him for everything he has done and do our best to replace him with the £60-70m...
You don't get banned; you get told to register. This is because the owner of the website wants users to make accounts on his website. Not particularly tough, is it?
That's one view. Of course it's also totally possible that Wilf hasn't come to any sudden realisations except for the fact that he'd quite like to play Champions League football next season, and he won't be able to do that with Palace.
Any rational person would agree that Zaha and Mahrez were...
There's not a hope in hell of Everton signing him. They simply can't afford him. If Everton spend £60m+ on a player and then pay him >£120k per week then football is well and truly dead. Wilf will believe himself ready for Champions League football and likely won't bother signing for Everton who...
We don't need to sell to balance the books; we just can't afford to splash out on transfer fees in this window as we have done in the the last couple of years. Any money raised by player sales will be put back into the transfer kitty.
The chap said that United can buy Zaha back for £3m. It's complete drivel and you know it; if this clause really existed (which, again, it doesn't) they'd have used it last summer and sold him for £40m.
He missed 9 games last season if I remember correctly and those included Liverpool away, Chelsea away, United x2 and City away. It would've been tough to win those games anyway. There's no question that last seasons team was massively improved by Zaha's quality when he was fit, but it's silly to...
