Eberechi Eze

[superspurs]

Wasn't there talk at the start of the window that Palace would now be open to negotiating instalments instead of receiving the release clause all up front.

Yes, but just because they no longer want all the money straight away doesn’t mean that they aren’t still wanting a very large chink up front. Which isn’t great to deal with if we’re trying to push other transfers through as well.

Think he will still go to Arsenal and we will likely have another failed transfer. Can't remember the last time we went head to head with arsenal and won a transfer. Last time I was optimistic was Baptista and I was very upset. Not sure why he was ropey as fudge.

I think given the choice I'd go for Savinho now if it was a case if either/or, but I certainly wouldn't say no to Eze if he's available and keen.

Eze is a central attacker despite what so many ppl think. He and Savinho wouldn't block each other.

We won't get either of them. This feels like classic Levy 'we tried' territory.

One things for absolute certain, if we get them it will be attributed to Vinay and if we don’t it will be “classic Levy”…

He plays both and as we have covered before played mainly left at palace
Key is he can play both roles and is super flexible and a fudging great player

I’ve mentally prepared myself for savinho to stay at city and eze to go to arsenal after we’ve agreed a fee and personal terms with him

I've heard we're selling the stadium to West Ham as well.

Is this just before or just after season ending injuries for Romero and VDV?

 

[metalgear]

my guess was that Palace was not negotiating until both the charity shield and appeal for Europa was done.

good to see Spurs still in it, even if it is just to increase the price for arsenal

Get Savinho and Eze, after Kudus, with Pahlinha coming in, and I’d say that’s a damn good window. Would only want an Udogie back up to add to it.

Not sure that it puts us in title contention, but it’s a very strong window for the club that should be praised if we can pull it off.

Yes mate, I didn’t want TF to shat himself and thought it needed a refresh

This isn’t Arsene Wenger with him coming out saying we nearly signed this player and that player. Levy has never said we have tried to sign anyone, sometimes we are not successful but most of the time we have never actually put in a bid for the players we “almost” signed.

That would be a great window but we usually do things quietly and quickly hence why I think this is all flimflam, probably rumours sent out from Eze's camp to push Arsenal in to buying him. Therefore that's why I fully expect there will be a breaking news on sky "Arsenal steal Eze from Spurs as fee and terms agreed" flicker.

Sadly just used to this kind of stuff, and Arsenal imo are currently more attractive than Spurs to sign/play for, as much it pains me to say.

Or a center back to allow VDV to move to left back

Wouldn’t be surprised, and the IF in my original post was doing a lot of work. By the same token though, if we pull it off, I think credit will be due for a great window.

I’m kinda fine on this one, provided VDV can actually play regular football after a good pre season and doesn’t need to be ‘managed’. I’d rather him as a centre back, with Danso and Radu as sufficient cover, with Frank’s style probably allowing Radu to be more comfortable.

Equally I take your point though, if we aren’t going to play a super high line then maybe Micky can be a fearsome left back in Frank’s system.
