Transfers The Summer Transfer Edging Thread 2025

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Our best bet is if Eze has actually got fed up with Woolwich. Signing Madueke for 55m last month must have been a kick in the teeth especially now when Woolwich have informed his camp that they want to sell Trossard first before they can bid for him.

I worry about how genuine our interest is though. Will Levy sanction this and Savinho in the same week? Does Levy offer less than the release clause? Does Levy let the release clause expire and try sign him next week? so much can go wrong. And then maybe Woolwich still bid for him!

If we are serious then we offer the release clause right now and give Eze the ultimatum.

If finishing 17th and then losing Son and Maddison (and Kulu) doesn't spring Levy into action then nothing will.

Not holding my breath.
 
I saw an article from Romano which suggests there is some truth to the Eze rumours, it said that the player was keen but the stumbling block was that the release clause has expired so Palace want more money.....

Absolutley laughable if true. I mean how long did we have to trigger the clause?

If we could get Eze and Savinho over the line it would certainly brighten everyones mood and expectations for the coming season.

I just don't see it happening. We are talking £120m+ for those two. Levy probably had to go see his cardiologist just thinking about the numbers involved.

I guess they want to play him off the left? If he wants to play 10 maybe that plays in our favour too.
 
I really hope these Eze "talks" are real and genuine. We could really do with a player of his calibre and at least the pretence of a bit of footballing intent and ambition. Not getting my hopes up though.

I don't see both happening either. I think most likely is we get Savinho but not Eze. As always, we'll be a key player short in the first XI.

Several clubs were after Eze last summer, and it may be he has a verbal promise from Parish that he can go to a Champions League team if the offer is acceptable to Palace.

There is still confusion amongst the football correspondents as to whether his release clause has already expired, or expires this Friday when the PL starts.

The risk is once a club has a total fee and payment structure accepted by Palace, a rival club could match it. Only then will Eze have to choose.

If we are the only club to have a bid accepted, I'm confident he'll sign for us.

If other bids are accepted, I still think there's a good chance he signs for us, because it sounds as if Frank & Eze's friend Cochrane will set up the team with Eze in the 10 / ACM role, which won't necessarily be the case elsewhere.

I think the key to it is making him feel special. Telling him he would be the main man, it would be his team, he’d be the face of the club, get Sonny’s No 7 shirt. Players have egos, they like them to be massaged.
