You normally get a testimonial after 10 years of service. Joel Ward has been with us for 11 so is overdue one (you don’t have to wait until their last season with the club). I would have thought he’d like to play versus his old club Portsmouth, and no doubt raise money for his church which I know he’s very close to.
As for Zaha, obviously he’s been with us for much longer, though had that hiatus in ManU and Cardiff in the middle. I’m not sure if that means he cannot get a testimonial (does it have to be 10 consecutive years?) - obviously, if he’s still with us in 2025 he’d have been with us 10 consecutive years *following* his misadventures with the Mancs.
Since we probably won’t know if he is renewing or not until after the last game of the season, unless there’s a testimonial there isn’t a proper chance to say goodbye properly. It would be great if the club could arrange one for this summer, whether or not they then decided to renew.
