and Gallagher... can't see him staying next season. They will be seriously weaker, unless they can make a couple of big signings.
Getting rid of Zaha and using any fee to help secure signing Gallagher would be good business.
Not sure whether they have enough to convince Gallagher that his future lies at Selhurst though.

They have a few other players coming to the end of their contracts this summer, hopefully they recruit less successfully this summer.

Zaha would barely command any fee now, certainly no where near enough for Gallagher. He's old and not even that good anymore. They would get £20m tops imo.

Yup, that ship has sailed. Palace priced Zaha out of the market year after year after year. He was DESPERATE to go to Arsenal, but they baulked at the asking price and spaffed £72m on Pepe instead. Who has been utterly shite.

Sad how Zaha's career has turned out. Despite his attitude, balance issues, and permanently-trembling bottom lip there was a good player in there, too good for Palace. Now despite his talent, he knows he'll never win a thing. Manacled to that shabby little club like Terry Waite to a rusty radiator, as I've opined before.

Probably shouldn't have manacled himself to that corking great 5-year deal and a big wage hike if he was serious about leaving...

Times reporting today that Zaha "is unlikely to sign a new contract" and may be sold in the summer, otherwise will run his contract down and leave in summer of 2023.

Aaah, the annual mating dance of the lesser spotted Zaha has started. That's good we now know for sure that summer has arrived !

Considering the SEGW has probably submitted 507 transfer requests, I actually think that number is quite low.

As you should know by now (having skulked around NSC forever), we don't bother with an Away Fans end on here. Instead, there are a couple of large-ish threads revisited where your filth of a club are routinely dissected and discussed, as opposed to the multiple decades-old threads clustered on the BBS all about BHA. Care to reveal the numbers on those ?

Thought not. So why don't you gather up your billycans, give your arse a wipe, and f*ck right off on the horse you rode in on.

13 goals so far this season, his best ever return.
Far from him being finished, he’s enjoying playing under Super Pat .

I have to agree, he's played quite well on occasions this season. Definitely a threat when in and around the box with the ball at his feet. The fact that you never know whether his gyroscope is active or not (but you default to "not") makes for extra interest as you await for any semblance of a defensive challenge to initiate the fall, pirouette and plead with bug-eyed stare, arms raised high, hands outstretched, mouth contorted, silently screaming "refffffff"

Lol, just delete the word imagine and try again. :D

He’s universally derided on here but, he’s the 7th highest goal scorer so far this season in the Premier League.

If you’d managed to stay awake you’d have seen a list of all those top scorers worth millions more than Zaha who have scored less than your nemesis this season.

A quick check suggests that list includes players such as De Bruyne, Mahrez, Saka, Fernandez, Raphinha, Mount, Pukki, Sterling, Vardey etc.

I’ve no idea if he’ll stay or go, but he’s a proven goal scorer in this league, whatever this site thinks.

He's not universally derided because he's shit though, because he's not. It's for his petulance, diving, the fact that he plays for you lot and that he blew his chances at Manure by playing Billy Big Bollocks.

Might be rubbish but a couple of weeks ago I was told by a local estate agent that Wilf has sold his house, just saying.

And moved to keston , just saying.

For the few that remember him once he’s retired, it will be as a money grabbing diver who kept signing massive contracts at a small club rather than try to achieve something with his career. It’s no surprise he’s permanently angry as he’s realised this himself in the last couple of years.

Or that wonderful day at the AMEX in 2013, when having been wound up by Olly in the dressing-room he scored twice to knock Albion out of the play-offs and Gus out of a job:lolol:

Quite an achievement, given that he wasn't then even a Palace player but on loan from Man U. Thank you Sir Alex...
