Eberechi Eze

...this could be the start of a long and off-topic conversation where we celebrate the likes of Sophia Loren, Jayne Mansfield, and so on :)...

...I think what makes Eze so right for our shirt (aside from his rare talent) is the way he glides around the pitch, almost floating an inch off the turf with the ball...

I’m not sure even seeing Eze plus Kudus lining up for us would elicit as many smiles around WHL as Jayne did that day 🤩

I love how we’ve clearly agreed personal terms with Eze and yet with Forest it was the crime of the century that we’d done that apparently, that whole saga was completely bizarre.

IMO, that entire saga boiled down to Levy being a regular, law-abiding bloke (as much as one can be a 'regular' bloke while being a multi-millionaire), going up against a gangster who has previous for shipping heroin into Europe and almost certainly has had a hand in multiple murders. It came down to ego, intimidation, and a couple of professionals (Levy on our side, Gibbs-White on theirs) deciding it wasn't worth it to try and get one over an enraged, probable criminal. No blame for anyone involved.

If anything, the only lesson to take from that saga is that the Premier League's fit and proper persons test clearing people like Marinakis is just one more example of why strict external regulation was needed decades ago - whatever the league's coterie of owners think.

Palace's owners strike me as straightforward, and at least lawful - unlike Marinakis. Doubt they'd do to Eze what Forest forced upon Gibbs-White.

It's their last chance to get a big fee for him too. Parrish cannot afford to do a Marinakis and throw money/his weight (no pun intended) around. I think they'll do the deal shortly so as they have a run at the replacement(s) they have in mind for the sale(s) they make.
