Eze was having a chat with a few Chelsea players, Reese and Palmer I think it was and it certainly looked like they may have been asking him as they were hiding the mouths with their hands.
Couple that and the media hype and postgame reaction of Eze I would say he thinks it’s going to happen.
Could it still end up falling apart? Absofuckinglutely!

yes exactly the point, it has to pay off, you have to win either the league or the CL.
i dont think hes good enough to warrant 100m for four years of football. you should be getting world class or very close too, hes had two good seasons at palace who havent even finished in the top half of the premier league....
We're not putting an unproven 20 y/o on 175kpw!
....And the reported fee will need to be MORE than €70m
Fair enough, its nice to hear you're reasoning and that clears it up.
I think the release clause was tricky as it had to be paid up in full. Its only recently its changed from that and the gooners had already moved in wanting to do business early.
A 27 year old at 55+ 5m (rumoured amount) does in no way suggest he needs to be world class imo. A world class 27 year old attacking mid would cost upwards of 80m in today's market.
I understand you're reservations on his quality. I do think hes a unique player. Hes not quite a luxury 10 with every kind of pass but also he wont give you the industry of a MGW or de bryne for example. But he has undoubted quality. Palace play him off the left and its a different role to a true 10. I think if we had him centrally and used him to dictate our attack he'd be fantastic. Can go left or right amd then distribute to the wide player and then follow up in and around the box with cool finishes. I can absolutely see why we would identify him as the player to choose along with kudus and savinho and it looks like a formidable attack to me.
Hes a great character and not a diva or strop of a player. Eze is not the sort to down tools or just collect his wages. He seems a good neutralising character, encourages and supports the youngsters and will push the team on. He partly fill the void son left, he has that similar vibe to him.
I used to, Pascal Chimbonda used to rock around there in full celtic basket ball gear and a Cadillac Escalade
It's a nothing burger..... They're England team-mates and most players cover their mouths when talking on the pitch these days (in the HD era).
Agree! And the point is he is only likely to be on 200k a week tops? So correct me if I'm wrong but 200k a week = 10m a year, that times 4, 4 year contract = 40m£, a fair amount away from 100m.
Guy was obviously factoring in the un-recoupable trf fee.
Yeah of course. Funny question.
You didn’t see my post's after the match?
Why wouldn't any Spurs enjoy the win?
That was about Eze
hes not coming on a free is he, hes going to cost 60m and by the time we are done with him he wont be worth much, so hes costing us 100m total.
Yeah my bad! But even so, 25m a year in The EPL for a game changer like Eze! For me its a no brainer.
lets just hope hes as good as you think he is then.
I think if you are insisting on world class, then we are not talking 60m + 10m a year.
If we sign Eze and he is instrumental in us getting CL 3-4 times in a 5 year contract, pretty easily worth it.
And he may help change how other players think of Tottenham when choosing next career moves.
This site has such negativity. On one side, folks saying Eze and Savinho are too expensive and not worth the fee. On the other, lots who are (more understandable imo) killing Levy for not getting the deals done.
For me, I’ve seen Frank and his coaches boosting the effectiveness of returning players, huge new value w Kudus. To me, I choose the excitement of the possibility.
And yep, I’ve only been a fan for a decade, so my scars of repeated disappointment aren’t to the level of most of you.

No chance does that have to win you the PL or CL to pay off.
If you are signing a €100m player on €10m per year for 5 years then maaaaybe but City have more than one of those. Liverpool have 2 this summer alone
Eze pays off by being part of a team that gets you CL football regularly and making your younger assets better.,
Well Daveyboy, I for one, right now, can't think of a better ready made, hit the ground running alternative my friend.
Eze would be a great signing. But he's not an elite signing. As his small number of international caps would indicate
Other clubs with similar revenues to Spurs are either going top shelf, or they've already concluded their business this window.
So we're probably the only other club with the available resources that could afford to meet his release clause.
you can get rodrygo for 85m and probably 250 a week, who will be 28 in 4 years and still have big resale value if you do sell him, which makes him cheaper than eze over the next 4 years.
so not only are you getting a better player, you are getting far better value on your £....
