Wilfried Zaha return

[eaglesdare]

And he was surprised when teams used to target him, it always had the desired effect, he was so easy to rattle

I remember 1 year troy deeney came out and said that watford would all take it in turns to kick zaha. And a different player would do it every time to avoid the bookings.

Yes I remember that, trouble is wilf never used to react in the right way, jump up and hurt them with a goal, they knew one kick early on and he was rattled and he’d drift out of the game

Some folk seem obsessed with Zaha - he's long gone, get over it.

I think we all were a bit when he was here. It’s hard to move on sometimes. Always gonna be one of the top names mentioned about us.

Rightly so. He did some extraordinary things and as much as he could wind us up he drove everyone else into a frenzy.

Guarantee he would be too exciting and maverick for OG.

He'd think Ray Wilkins was dangerously rogue with his hot headed extravagance.

Presumably the same thing happened to Deeney's face?

I wouldn't say obsessed, just miss havin a maverick in the team because our current team is a bit boring, I miss the likes of Bolasie,Zaha,Townsend,Olise and Routledge ect they made palace more entertaining.

TBF if we get knocked out on Thursday i just want the season to end and for Glasner, Kamada and who ever else wants to leave gone so we can rebuild a fresh.

Or enjoy a couple of games even 💁

Or even have a couple of shots on target (in the same game)!

Oh do please come down to earth....

I am not obsessed with Wilf because in the past few seaons we had other icons in Eze and Olise but they have gone to higher things (and very successfully too).

But now what have we? Wharton has not yet fulfilled his talent and Pino has struggled to show the outstanding talent he has.

True, Wilf is not a Glasner type player, but he is (or was) an outstanding talent and one of our own. As Glasner is leaving he would be worth a punt. If you see clips of him for Charlotte in the MSL it shows maybe he is past his best but still has the ability and the fire power we lack.

He is undoubtedly a maverick but he can score goals, a facility we seriously lack.

Wonder how much Gala would let him go for?

I see him going on a free or a pretty low fee in the end. Also would not think the Premier League. Maybe he'll retire? No idea really.

 

[thegreatlardino]

why would he want to come back to us? not as if he has a point to prove.

 

[eaglesdare]

Such a shame he missed out on the best years of the club to play a few piddly games in the champions league.

Wages, adulation, home take your pick.
