Wishing injury on someone , that’s not very nice .
With no bids, surely palace are in the driving seat with regard his wages and contract but I bet they won't even think about that and willl give him another wage rise and contract for his loyalty! [emoji848]

'Rewarded'? Rewarded for not being sold?
'kept happy'?
Why did he need to be 'rewarded' or 'kept happy', given that he loves Palace and never wanted to leave?
Ultimately we all know he wants to play for a bigger club, so he really isn't 'happy' at all. Sure he'll accept the extra wedge on top of his already enormous wedge, to ease his frustration, but we all know he still has the same ambitions that he had yesterday.
No; rewarded for his consistently superb performances since he signed his last contract.
It's clear that Zaha loves Palace. He could easily have tried to force a move several times in the last few transfer windows, but he hasn't. I'm sure he'd have taken the chance to play Champions League football if Palace agreed to sell him, but we didn't. That doesn't mean that he's upset or frustrated or unhappy at Palace. He knows full well that if he continues his current run of form that Palace simply won't be able to refuse the amount of money that'll be on the table this time next year.
We have a very valuable asset that we were desperate to keep. Chelsea and Spurs both wanted to sign Zaha but weren't willing to pay our £75m asking price. As a result, we get to keep our best player. Zaha is rewarded with a new contract which ensures that he's kept happy and means that Palace are far more likely to enjoy a successful season. This is an excellent outcome for Palace and most certainly constitutes a win.
You've got to feel for all those players who thought they finally had a chance of snatching the oh-so-coveted "Best player outside the top 6" title that Wilf has kept such a firm grip on.
They'll all have to carry on being Premier League nobodies, and just hope that sooner rather than later Wilf has another stab at not being a flop when he steps away from the home comforts of Croydon.
"Mr Tumble".
Is that really the best you could come up with?
And now they think he's worth more! I understand that Palace as a club, from chairman to fans, find it very difficult to grasp anything to do with finances, but this one is very simple.£75m?

An asset is only worth what someone else is willing to pay for it. No club will pay Palace's valuation of him. So he's not worth that much.
There's a bloke round the corner from us who's had his house on the market for two years at £250k. It's not worth that. So while all the other houses on his road sell after about two weeks, his is still for sale.
Palace don't want to sell Zaha which is why they've put such a ridiculous valuation on him. That doesn't mean that's what he's worth (to anyone but them, like the bloke with the house).
That's fair enough but the goon squad use this fact to say he's worth a fortune when he's clearly not, as nobody wanted to buy him at that inflated price.
Not complicated.

Righteo. So you're saying that an asset is only worth as much as someone wants to pay for it?
Your mates house. If I wanted it for a fiver, is that how much it's worth now?
It seems that your understanding of finances isn't much better than ours, love.
