Zaha scored a good goal last night. But he is nearly 28 now. Sooner, rather than later, he is going to have to make his move if he is not to be stuck at Palace for the rest of his career. And surely he must realise now that if he wants to win something he will have to move on.
Take him out of their team and it will weaken it substantially. So let's hope he gets his move this summer!

Four goals and six assists this season. For a player entering his peak, that hardly screams 'come and get me' to sides that can provide him with a shot at silverware. I'm not sure any of the top 6 sides would be interested in him. And if they were, I'm not remotely convinced he would improve them. At best I can see him going to somewhere like Everton.

Thankfully posts can't be flagged anymore but it's a sign of the gulf between us now that Zaha would probably cost more than our entire club if he was sold this summer
Palace turned down £50m for Zaha last summer wanting £80m.
If he goes this summer, I'd be surprised if it's for much more than £25m.
The Nigels are not happy about his performances this season - some believe a deal has already been done - though not many clubs can match his current £125k a week salary.

The "6 assists" stat is a bit misleading - if he had better forwards to aim at than Benteke and Ayew he'd probably have two or three times that many. Hardly his fault that most decent balls he plays into the box will end up getting miss-kicked into row Z.
Much as I enjoy berating Palace, he's a very good player, good enough for Alex Ferguson to sign and United were in general disarray throughout his time up there, so the fact he didn't make it isn't necessarily a reflection on him.
I think he'd strengthen Arsenal or Spurs, probably Chelsea as well. I also think it will quickly be game over for Palace's unremarkable stint in the top flight when he goes, and I suspect most Palae fans would reluctantly admit that as well. Rest of the squad are journeymen, very little genuine quality.

I think his chance at a (second) big move has gone, as you say he's 28 which is old for a winger, and won't be worth the money Palace will try to force out of teams.
This is a big summer for them. Squad needs a rebuild, Roy is turning 93, Zaha won’t command the transfer fee they wanted a year ago. The bottom eventually falls out for all mid to lower Prem teams so there’s always hope.

Goals this season:
Crystal Palace 30
Sorloth 29
Two year loan deal with an option to buy at £6m. No recall clause, but Palace are allowed to call him back for £9m.
Rumours are that Trabzonspor have been offered £25m for him from a Spanish Club.
And we moaned about Katrien's deals.
I hope he stays, he went down hill this season and if there next season will be even less interested.
Very poor end to the season, if that slump had started earlier they would have been in trouble
i thought I’d point that out
Even if one or two dont you can rely on West Ham | Brighton | Aston Villa all being worse
The sort of luck we have at the moment, Liverpool and Man City will be relegated from the Premier League (together) before that lot
