So, according to the Athletic, Palace have just reached a 'Verbal' agreement for him . . . [Link]

Somewhat surprisingly to me, English is the most common second language taught in Brazilian schools (over Spanish). So he's probably already ahead of Edouard

I wonder if this really a signing for next season. He is listed as an attacking midfielder, which is of course the position of Eze. The way he is playing I cannot foresee us hanging onto Eze beyond this season (especially as there are reports of him rejecting an extended contract). Barring any unforeseen events, I suspect we will being selling Eze next summer for a large fee and Franca will be stepping into the role but with some PL experience now. We maybe following the Brighton plan where we only sell one major player per year. This year we have lost Zaha, next summer Eze, perhaps Olise the year after. We just need to make sure we have quality replacements lined up. Maybe in 3 years time we will be selling on Franca for 70-80m. If so, this model should be very financially beneficial. A club our size can't afford to pay this much for a player who will not be exposed until the following season. I expect him to play against the blades. Some liken him to De Bruyne. Would be nice to have someone in midfield to stick a decent cross in.

I will be highly surprised, though pleasantly, if Eze and Olise are still playing for us beyond this coming season. It's all about how we spend that money because they are too hot to keep. They will be all about the bigger club, which is after all how they came to us in the first place.

Here you go Lanzo, him or Eze first?
Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!! |

If this article is to be believed, They've inserted a Ballon d’Or winner clause into his contract... So given the good old Palace luck, get ready for Bamford MKII

All Dougie needs to do is stick £1 on this at the bookies and he'll still have a chunk of change left.

Its the first time Ive heard of such a clause in a contract and he certainly won't be winning it playing for us with an international exposer of last on Match of the day and the the odd monday night /Sunday lunch football on sky . I look forward to 'a song for Franca' thread , lets hope after a few weeks it doesn't start with a W

I'm really chuffed this one seems to be getting done. certainly feels exciting. I do have a fear that this feels a little reminiscent of when we lost Wright and signed Gabbiadini as his replacement! He is only 19 and coming from a very different culture. I hope we do not expect too much of him too soon and as fans we are patient and supportive of him.

Agree with the plan, if it worked, only try stopping Olise moving next summer and telling him he’s got to fit into one player sold per summer. I’d make it 1.5 HOTTER players sold per season. What do you tell Guehi and Andersen? Wait 3 and 4 years? I’m more bothered about the planning for after they’ve gone than when.
