Everton are desperate for new players too. I know swaps are rare but players like Solomon, Bissouma, Dragusin, Gray etc would improve them
He needs to pay up now, concede on every acceptable negotiation point and close it.
They'll ask for Richarlison and funnily enough we'd have given them him a few weeks ago. No chance we sell him now after his good start under Frank.
Just had a look at a palace forum . They're at the denial phase so hopefully it goes through 
Bro - it will not get done until Palace gets their replacement in.
What is hard to understand about that?
You would expect the same from us, would you not???
There’s no way the person you are responding to is going to be able to read those 3 sentences, learn anything useful, and contribute anything positive to this board.
That is horseshit. If we had agreed the price they wanted he would be doing a medical today. The fact is we have gone in late in the window for players when it is notoriously difficult to do transfers. I am am 60/40 that next month Eze is still a palace player they may lose value but Parish and co do not think about that.
Or of course it could be that there are factors of which neither anyone on this forum, nor anyone who makes things up online, even those who are apparently "connected" are aware of?
I know it's incredible to believe that Spurs, Crystal Palace, Manchester City and Real Madrid don't keep these ego-crazed no-marks continuously updated with the minutae of their business affairs but I'm sure you will accept that it's a possibility.
£32m
Prices are crazy - 10 to 15 years you will have the likes of Palace paying £100m for a player
Just like when we sold Bale and bought 7 players with the money we knew we were getting -
mate, come on.
They are selling a player and bringing in a replacement. Not moving house! They don't have to do it all together. Could easily sell Eze now and get their replacement after. Feels strange risking it all by playing Eze every game while this is all apparently "verbally agreed".
I know you pride yourself on being one of the positive posters on here and I've no issue with that. But surely you'll admit you'd be very concerned if Eze was to play tomorrow night for them?
Sell Solomon to Palace & Bissouma to Spam
Easy.
Easy.
But what's late in the window? And when did we go for him? If I recall we were 'in for him' at the start of the window but he supposedly said he was only interested in going to Woolwich? If that's the case how can your view on the way it is be true? It's only relatively late because our serious approach was a couple of weeks ago now, triggered by the injury to Maddison and Woolwich losing interest (or being short of cash), which left almost a month to complete a deal.
I don't think it's 'horseshit' to say that Palace need a replacement before they agree a deal - why shouldn't they do that, particularly as it's 'so late in the window' and they actually don't 'need' to sell Eze? They have moved quite quickly to get that replacement since our serious approach which sort of proves that they do want a deal but on their terms (our need is greater than theirs). As Dudu said, we would expect the same from our owners wouldn't we? (irrespective of whether we get it)
There are lots of times when we haven't moved with the right commitment and speed in the transfer window - I just can't see this being one of those times.
Whether they plan to keep him or sell him, I would be amazed if they play him tomorrow with a big game against Forest on Saturday. Can see Palace trying to get out of this competition as quickly as possible...
No chance. It’s their first ever run in Europe, they’re going all out for it. I expect Eze and Geuhi both to play if a fee isn’t agreed and medical booked.
If this ends up like some of us fear, there really is someone up there who really dislikes us.
