I do think he's got some improvements to make to be a top player."I think we're a good platform for him to do that in the Premier League. I have tried to say to him I want him to be a massive success here. "If Spurs blew us out of the water or Man City offered £50 million and it was Champions League football, okay, it's because you're the finished product."This is what Wilf's ambition should be, but he needs to address his goals and assists. "If a club came in with, say, £50-£60 million – let's say a Manchester City, Barcelona or Real Madrid, and he's got 10 goals and nine assists – as his manager at Crystal Palace I can't really stand in his way. "I don't think our fans would either. He knows he isn't there yet and he has no problem seeing that. I have told him that. Potentially, he could be."</blockquote>
