i Think the issue with the clause was from what I've read is that a large amount of it was to be paid up front which I believe is largely unprecedented, think the scum thought the same, hence letting the clause run down.
Now obv you could end up paying more for the player in the long run over installments, but that's much more amenable to the buying club, even though you technically pay more overall.
Essentially, I think Levy would rather negotiate the terms of the deal than agree to the release clause and over 50M up front or whatever it was.
They are also at or over the limit for foreign players both for the PL and CL. So if they want Rodrygo they need to ship someone out just to make space.
Depends if we get Savinho
I’d like to actually know how many think we will sign Savinho and Eze. There is not a chance we sign both of them. Anyone who thinks we will is fucked in the head. We might sign Savinho if Levy can get city to drop £20 million off what they want. We are not paying what Palace want for Eze and there’s no way we pay it up front so I’d suggest we let that one go.
If for some fucked up reason Levy decides to spunk £150 million on these two I’ll never criticise the man again. It just won’t happen.

Eze is more than a ball Carrier, his passing is effortless and crisp.
I was looking for another particular video against us when he played that volleyed pass but couldn't find it. It was a thing of beauty I think it must have been at selhurst.
Shitty have plenty of players who are either wingers or often get plonked into wide positions by Pep - Doku, Bobb (who is HG), Marmoush, even Foden and Cherki.
They're after Rodrygo and apparently trying to get Xavi Simons ,so more players for those areas.
I think they've decided Savinho is the expendable one to raise funds for the players they're chasing.
Plus the internet sez Savinho is on c£40k pw. If we're paying a c£50 m transfer fee, even Levy must be offering to double or triple those wages, whereas Shitty may be declining to offer him a new contract since he only signed last season.
Palace no longer have the option to hold out for all up front cash - particularly with uefa Conference football next season which might give them only 5m - 10m prize money versus say 40m in EL.
So he has to comprise to sell Eze - compromise might be for example 30m up front and 40m payable as 10m a year for 4 years, or something similar.
And Parrish also has the Guehi issue with contract running out in 12 months, so he's leaving and nobody will pay 40m up front either - it will be spread over a few years.
Wharton on a long contract and probably expensive 80m - 100m so he stays
Will be interesting to see how it unfolds over next week or so - and Palace need time to try to bring in other (cheaper) replacements with potential ....... so time is not on Palace side
.
Combine eze and madison and we've got something special
Man if we sign both Savinho and Eze this is the stuff of dreams.
Imagine lining up with
Solanke
Savinho Eze Kudus
Two signings instantly elevates us into a proper CL quality attack.
And if Tel develops into a top 9 as hoped, he will eventually replace Solanke, who is good but not top tier. At least, he hasnt been yet.
Big season for Solanke.
I genuinely think we want to sign both, and I think the Eze deal will move quickly. We will probably want to be aggressive to make sure we don't give Woolwich time to get involved.
Hard not to get excited.
We would have the best 1v1 attack in the league.

Yeah but thankfully the admin are always happy to confirm they have done so, so we know it's all legit...
Nice to see this post resonate with so much optimism!

Miguel is a very good one for transfers and while he's never said it do think he supports that lot down the road. He seems to have very good knowledge on their dealings.
I read that the club is playing the Eze deal close to the vest in case he chooses Woolwich, but I wish we'd publicly go all out for him. If he chooses Woolwich we just say they were in on him for a while and we couldn't get him, but if we do get him we can claim a gazump and add an Eze trophy to the case!
More likely, and more realistic discussion is terms, not the amounts.
Palace may have stipulated that it's £68m up front in one payment.
Levy won't/can't do that.
He could go as far as to offer more if Palace agree to 4-5 years rather than one off.
