Eberechi Eze

[SG7]

He is a good player that will only get better. Would be great in the sarr position for us, uses the ball really and is press resistant. Just not for the money required. He seems younger as he had that Achilles injury and missed a year of football.

If we bought this guy to play the role Sarr is playing now, I would genuinely spew up. Sarr is already a better player.

Man City’s top ITK posted a cryptic and the Man City fans are pretty sure it’s Eze.

Would line up with @Tottenhamboys post the other day.

They were linked with a move for Wirtz as well so Eze would make sense as an alternative.

Same ITK said that Wirtz was unlikely as he doesn't want to jeopardise his chance's of going to the Euros.

I thought he was decent but tried to do it all himself. Hodgson said before the game that he needs to realise he can’t win games by himself and he was right

Am I only one who thinks he’s overrated..?

The thing is, Palace are pretty toothless in attack. Edouard is not the player he was in Scotland (shock) and they really have very little in attacking areas outside of Eze and Olise. With the latter being injured, you can see why Eze feels like the burden is on him to win them games.

Anyone saying he's "overrated" is having a laugh. He's clearly extremely talented and if he were in this Tottenham side, he wouldn't feel the need to do everything. Last night was also exceptional in that Arsenal fully parked the bus in the last 20 after going down to 10 men and made it all but impossible for Palace to get through. Eze tried and danced his way past 3 players almost winning a penalty.

I would LOVE him at Spurs but I also think he'll cost upwards of 70m and we just dont NEED him, unless Lo Celso wants to go back to Spain.

Sarr has had a handful of good appearances but lets not be those fans that massively overrate our own players after a recent good game. Sarr is also very different to Eze so comparing them doesn't really help anyone in deciding whether we should sign Eze or not.

Just confirmation on this that it was Eze alright.

How did he look tonight? Couldn’t face watching it

What good moment of dribbling but didn’t really do anything and not worth the money

In a s*** team obviously.

 

[felmani26]

Perhaps Eze was on the longer term succession planning at City which has now accelerated due to concerns over KdB's fitness.

Also much like us, CAA Base have a fair few clientele at City (Walker, Lewis, Palmer) so clearly have an amiable relationship with the hierarchy.

Even if Palace aren't much good, there was a real opportunity to break the game open with Arsenal down to 10. Arteta isn't a particularly good tactician either, immediately parked the bus by subbing on a fully defensive lineup, but that team clearly wasn't used to playing in such a way and looked vulnerable.

Every time Eze got possession, he just wasn't damaging at all. Played too safe and nowhere near direct enough.

 

[Wick3d]

The lower to mid-level of the transfer market has become seriously inflated. 100million for Kane I understand, but 90million for Eze is crazy.

That could easily be a side effect of the given instruction, playing in a Hodgson coached team to be fair.

My view is that I like Eze and think there's a lot more to come from him in the right surroundings. We just have bigger priorities that need to be addressed right now, with little time left, and a lot of work required to make space for those priorities.

I don't see more than two coming in now, and tbh I'm not convinced we will even get to that point because of the outs being such a slow moving process.

Minimum priority now is another option upfront which should have been signed by now regardless of outs. We look so light at the top end of the pitch.

Still can't make comparisons the way I see it , but definitely not a these astronomical fees!

We look especially vulnerable to one injury to VDV or Romero.

 

[coy-spurs1882]

Same old "need to sell before buy" then. Levy is going to leave us short again as the deadwood won't go

So next time he should buy Maddison, Van de Ven or Vicario when we have sold Kane or another player? We actually did quite a lot business this time before selling.

Obviously we still need at the very minimum a serious goal threat, but this kind of general criticism is lame and not really true.

The general consensus is more so that City are panicking after the whole Paqueta fiasco, and Pep is demanding a ready made prem player for the role.

Palace being the lucky team that are going to get mad money due to City panicking. (Originally Palace were looking for 70m, but have been able to jump up to 90m after seeing what City were willing to pay for Paqueta).

Shame though as he would’ve been a brilliant potential signing next year for us with his contract running down.

Those three are the minimum we should have been doing regardless of selling Kane.

We have needed a new AM and CB for years- going right back to the sales of Eriksen, Vertnongen and Alderweireld. And Lloris obviously had got to the stage in his career where he needed to be replaced.

Yes we needed them regardless. But when its claimed to be the old "first sell then buy", then you could assume shifting Lloris, Ndombele and a CB would be the first act of the process. But it wasn't, because we bought them before. Including Solomon.

 

[spursville]

40 million plus any of the deadwood they want? (Dier, Davies, Sanchez, Spence, Tanganga etc.) If anything happens to Maddison we're up a certain creek...

What about Lo Celso?

I do like Eze, but he's a similar player to Maddison - or at least he'd play a similar role - and I'm not sure we can justify the massive fee it would be, in particular when we have Lo Celso as well

Let's see if Lo Celso can step up. Fingers crossed he can.
