Can't just be me thinking he has taken over pen duties to pad his stats out and potentially help him seal a move. Must be a good 1/3 of his goals this season from penalties.
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
Quite an achievement, given that he wasn't then even a Palace player but on loan from Man U. Thank you Sir Alex...
Living off shit that makes no difference to the current era nearly 10 years on; sums Palace up nicely. Maybe you'll be able to get fellow reject Obi Wan k Bissaka back on £150k a week in the summer, that'll be nice.
The fact a clearly very talented player who could've reached the top peaked at 21 in the Championship under your club's guidance must be pretty galling.

Roma interested?

Would necessitate Palace taking a low bid as Zaha is in the last year of his contract and potentially Zaha taking a pay cut.
However, I think Palace will probably not stand in his way, and try to get some money from a sale rather than let him go for nothing at the end of this season.

He must still be worth £3.5 billion though

Yes, but down from the £20 billion Palace first wanted for him!

Oooh, it's been ages since we've had a Tiny Tears transfer tantrum.
Frankly, he'd be crazy not to accept this one. European football- albeit at a level that makes Roma broadly equivalent to West Ham- a change of scenery, and the option of spending your days in the Eternal City, rather than Croydon. He's 30 in a few months, and nobody else is going to make him a decent offer.
That said, we know he likes to be the big fish in the small pond, and I don't know whether Roma's budget stretches to his £130,000 weekly wage, so it probably depends on whether he's all about the money or not.
New Palace contract by 1st August it is then.

Glory hunting since 1969
Hasn’t he been crap for both teams he played for that weren’t Palace.
Binned off pretty quick by United, absolutely pony for Cardiff.
In the last year of his contract - could this finally be the year?

Leaving for nothing at the end of the season now? Surely no one is going to stump up cash for him in January - he's on ridiculous wages at Palace, can take it easy for another few months and earn a bumper salary in the summer with no transfer fee.

Why else do you think he's still there ? Nobody else would touch him with a shitty stick on those kind of numbers.
Arsenal had a little sniff a couple of years ago, but even they ended up spaffing £72m on Pepe in preference.
Utter insanity. What a weird career it'll have been, ultimately.
Certainly fits the mould for being a crap wing back like the rest of Chelsea
Or signing a new Palace contract and accepting that’s his lot now.

Its a WASTED career, ultimately. Much as I dislike the bolly-eyed turf magnet, there is no denying his innate talent. But imagine if just once in his career he'd actually played for a good team, at a proper club ? He should have a sideboard full of medals. Instead the only thing filling his sideboard are the weevils dining out on the chips from his shoulder. And he's 30, so the prospect of him ever turning out for a serious club capable of winning something is now...
*checks notes*
Zero.
If I was him I'd now be massively pissed off with the owners for turning down the £40m from Arsenal.
That said, I still think there's every chance it wouldn't have worked out (again!) at a bigger club. So thin skinned, so easily riled and would struggle with higher expectations and a less friendly, much more demanding support.

I make you right, although the Man U move happened when he was 19 and immature. He described it as "HELL" - remember, they gave him an apartment where he had to live...deep breath...ALONE. And on top of that, they didn't even give him a car. I mean who is ever going to succeed under those hellish conditions ? Its enough to make you weep.
