I think if Eze has a stand out Euros one of the big boys will come in and put money on the table nobody is going to refuse and we say good luck and thanks . Small club mentality. No club ever achieved anything by selling it best players. Who will want to come to a club with no ambition on the field? Money is not enough.

I agree, but hard to blame anyone for that thought inertia given how long we have swam in the small pool. But the money? Take Eze. Currently on £100k pw. Buy him and pay him £300k pw plus greater sponsorship and other add-ons. That is at least an additional £10m plus a year (gross) he can further enrich himself, his whole extended family, his church and innumerable charities. That is a lot to turn down. And top young players will queue to join if they have the genuine chance of making that "progression". I think fans are looking at this from their personal desire to see those players stay. Their arguments reflect more their wishes than any fiscal reality. None more than me... Personally, I think all our gems would prefer to stay, even on less money, to be part of what is bubbling under, but would you really blame them if they didn't?

Eze has the same agent as Son, Maddison and the manager Postecoglou, sounds like a proper Spurs love-in , Agents also have a box at Spurs where it’s being reported that Eze and his family used for the North London Derby , I know we will lose him eventually but to Spurs , honestly he deserves better then that Which is quite funny given Eze confirmed in a recent interview he was an Arsenal fan growing up!

And in fact the opposite. We need to balance all the factors, there will always be the right price and right time to sell. I bet Villa fans were cursing the board when they sold Grealish, but look at what's happened since! Eze or Olise are great, but lets not pretend they are the only players in the world. Both performed well in the Championship, we took a punt on both, and its taken Eze 5 years and Olise 3 to get to this level. Who would want to come? Another young Championship gem, who knows that if he develops, he has a chance of getting into the England team, and get a move to a TOP team.

They may have a reputation for hard negotiators, but pay pretty well. Half a dozen on their roster earn more than he does currently and he would probably demand, at a minimum, Maddison's salary (170,000) as he was the one who made the England squad. TBH, I do not see him as a great fit. He either needs to play as a sole No. 10, which is Maddison's position, or as a joint No. 10 like at Palace where you ideally have a Mateta type figure up front which Spurs currently lack. If they stick him on the wing it's a lose-lose for both team and player I think this is bang on the money. He'd surely be competing against Maddison who will be out next season to prove a point and show the form he did in the early part of last season.

Are people worried about this now his £68m release clause has been revealed, lots of clickbait about it, his family attending the North London derby, Southgate alluding to players may be having transfer talks during Euro's? Or is it the usual rumours and Spuds' underhand tapping up tactics? I was told (and read) the Eze does not have a release clause. Only a gentleman's agreement with Palace that should a significant offer come in and he wants to go we would not stand in his way. I'd like to think this was true but if he does have a release clause and it is indeed for £68m I'd imagine the terms will be very similar to Olise's release clause. IE for a start the buying club only qualify for that release figure if they can offer CL football. This rules Spurs out therefore if I were Parish the price to them is £100m. If Caciedo is worth over £100m its perfectly reasonable to put that figure on Eze.

Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!! |

I was told & read, he does. Ok, So you are saying that you know for a fact that he has a release clause. While I have no interest in arguing the only way you could possibly know that for sure is if you are personal friends with Parish, Eze's agent or Eze himself. All of which incredibly unlikely but lets assume you are right. It still rules Spurs out if the release clause is conditional upon the buying club being able to offer CL football. Its reasonable to assume that to be the case as that is 100% written into Olise's new contract. Parish said so himself around the time Olise extended. If he has done this on Olise's contract it is unlikely that he hasn't done the same for an equally valuable asset

The agency which represents several high-profile Spurs players, their manager and they supposedly want Eze to sign for Spurs...makes it funny that they gave him a box to support Arsenal. I mean, not laugh-out-loud funny, but it did amuse me.

He may have well been at the Emirates for the return fixture but it doesn't support the current narative.

Don't worry he wont go, Thread closed. I’m not worried either way! If he stays, brilliant. If he goes and we get £68 million, equally brilliant. We’re not a 1 man team any more so no player is indispensable. We need to sell to add the players Glasner wants and so long as he, Dougie, and Steve Parish are on the same page with decisions we will be fine. Selling is part of the business and no doubt Glasner was aware of that fact. Personally. I’d prefer Guehi to go if anyone has to but anyone who doesn’t want to be part of Oliver’s army next season can leave and good luck to them.

Like I have said a million times. Money is not enough to attract top player to a club like ours. You want to give that all away for mere money?
