The new deal he signed was only 3.5 years (to age 27) and got him to 100k/wk, and he's won Palace's first ever trophy and broken into the England team during that time, plus several clubs are now circling looking to activate that very clause.

I'd say Eze and his representation have done rather well.

Again, the contrasting situation that started this discussion was a 25 year old Kane signing a SIX-year deal with NO release clause with Daniel Levy at the beginning of a window in which Levy would self-impose a transfer embargo on the club. Now THAT was an agent making a mistake.

If Kane had signed Eze's deal in that moment he'd have been at Real Madrid before Covid hit.

Hmmmmm..... Not necessarily.

Equivalent release clause for Kane in 2020 would rightfully have been £200m...........

When I say Eze's deal, I mean Eze's deal. 68M.

Levy might never have agreed to that, but the point is that in having a release clause that's remotely feasible in a deal of a conservative length, Eze has maintained some degree of control of his destiny, I disagree that it's some foolish and naive agreement for him to have signed, he's done quite well.

Tough one to profile and depends entirely on how frank see it.
I love the destroyer type and that would pair well with bergvall and bentancur. However somebody like sarr eould not be a good pairing as neither would be able to dictate play.

Luiz I love as a footballer, I prefer ederson more and neither are pure dm's imo and more sitting 8's or 8's but both would work beautifully in a double pivot with all our current cm's. But as you say we would then lack the big physical monster but having said that ederson is a physical ball winner.

Respectfully; that's just silly then......... That's a third of Kane's percieved value.... The equivalent would be buying Eze for 25m and of course he'd have long since been snapped up for that.

I don't even really understand what detour you're tumbling down here, but it does raise a question that I don't know the answer to:

Has Levy ever agreed to a release clause? Has it ever been reported that one of our players has one?

Yeah it's fucked up, much more to it than meets the eye.

He should have been out of Palace by now, arguably the best player outside the top 6, homegrown, Prem proven, great character and an unbelievable talent and entering his peak - this is a Liverpool/City level signing.

That up front release clause is putting teams off I think.

Eze was happy to sign that deal and is very grateful to Palace.

If we, City or Liverpool want him, pay the money. It's simple.

City and Liverpool have already made their moves so just leaves us.
