Surely not! It’s a good profit but if we are serious about progressing can’t be a consideration, unless PV doesn’t see him fitting into the side or injury really has taken its toll.

That's why i started the Gallagher thread

“That’s a joke son, I say, that’s a joke.” “Nice boy, but he’s sharp as a throw pillow.” “He’s so dumb he thinks a Mexican border pays rent” “ “Son… I say, son, some people are so narrow minded they can look through a keyhole with both eyes.”__ Forhorn Leghorn

I said this will happen. Newcastle are going to go round hoovering up all the talent. Olise will be next.
All I can say is tell them we want £60m.
It’s terrible. Really bad for football.
Newcastle will be in Champions league in 2 years.

He looks pretty down when you see him on the bench. Basically players have 10 years at the top and they want to play. Eze has had a long time out. He needs to be on the pitch now.
From his point of view guaranteed first team football. Silly money. Tempting. Him and St Maximin will be dynamite
Very bad news for us and football
Eze needs to do what’s right for him.
£65m min.

You are correct. As I said at the time of the takeover, mega Saudi tv deal incoming! Money before morals for our beloved PL

I really hope we don't sell him as I want to watch great players at Palace and I think he can be one. As Villa have shown, you can get £100m but it means diddly squat if you can't find the players to replace your man.

Of course, a lot will depend on Palace's finances as to whether deals like this would even be considered, but I'm pretty certain whatever happens Parish is no mug and will get the best possible deal. He was also one of the most vocal opponents to the Newcastle deal so if he does do a deal with the devil you can only image they'll have to offer way above market value. If he got £50m for a promising right-back I reckon he'd want at least £60m for Eze. Personally I wouldn't want him to go to Newcastle for any money though.

The strange thing about all this though is that there was mention Newcastle tried to loan him in January. Surely they must have been having a laugh if that was true?

Or alternatively it's clickbait started by the known bastion of the truth, The Sun, then picked up by all the other sh*te online media?

Lightweight, went missing loads last season, sell him and get Gallagher

Also torn with Eze. Undoubtedly a talent, but feels like a luxury Player right now, who doesn't fit to our system.
Maybe if Zaha were to Leave? Or if Gallagher does not return next year he takes his Place, but that could leave our midfield short Of 'bite'. Though I'd be happy with a midfield of hughes /JMac(or his replacement) behind Eze.

I guess if the price is suitably silly, we'd be mad to pass it up.

"It was a Team effort, I guess it took all players working together to lose this one"

Hodgson's team was of course far from free-flowing but he did fit Eze into the side and the player was lauded for his excellence both by our supporters and those outside the club and rightly so.

Under Vieira, the narrative is all about a different progressive style and a far cry from so called "Royball" yet he cannot fit an exciting player into the team.

I have heard rumblings from those who are questioning whether Vieira was the right choice of manager.I am willing to accept that we are in transition and the Vieira reign is in its infancy.
