Have you seen the Palace bench? Glasner might finish the game without making a single sub. It's that bad.

They cannot afford to sit a player just because he's on the verge of a move.

Even on a less toxic basis...

Sav is distanced from the MC squad currently with a phantom injury; posting happy pics from his home gym on social media..... Yet he's still having to wait for the suits to finish doing their protracted dance around the negotiating table.

Yeah that’s true.

The bit I highlighted sums it all up. There’s a lot of what I call Willy wangling going on.

It’s probably more frustrating for the players involved. It’s their careers at stake
 
Always amazes me how people get so worked up over things that they have no control over.

Just relax. If it happens, it happens. If it doesn’t, it is what it is.
 
key being, he didn't play because he likely told them he wants to leave

Key to what though?

He's still sat on his arse with MC having power over whether he stays or goes.


Whether it's the varying degrees of Eze, Sav or Isak.... Unless they're prepared to submit an official trf request (which no player ever does cos it costs them money) then it'll all theatrics and chest-beating.

Look at Tevez & Diego Costa (or Kane's trip to Disney Land)...... If you're good enough they'll always accept you back into the fold if the deal falls on it's arse anyway.
 
If they are posturing despite needing this move desperately themselves, just get Paqueta for half the price. It would arguably be a better value signing, despite Eze being the better player in a vacuum.

And while at it use the leftover money to get Savinho deal over the line while possibly bringing in a LCB/LB hybrid as well. We'd be better off overall.

⚪🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 EXCL - Eberechi Eze pushing to join Tottenham! He agreed on personal terms with Spurs & wants to leave Crystal Palace. Eze expected to be left out of the squad against Chelsea this Sunday. Eze wants to leave #CPFC. Conflict looming…

Bit of brinkmanship by parish imo. Eze starts imo means pay up or eze stays. Tbh you cant blame a chairman for that.
I totally agree with you this all boils down to Levy, the deal should have been done and dusted no wonder fans despise him.

none of them got their move until they started making noise. again, just speculating but if eze did what savinho is doing he'd likely be our player this morning.

the bigger question none of us really know is, would palace prefer to keep him and let him go on a free? with all the money that comes in now i don't think the answer is as obvious as it used to be and i don't think that last year leverage is as strong these days either.
