I don’t trust Richi to stay fit, so Eze and Wissa in and Richi out is a huge upgrade to our squad.
Not sure Palace would want him though.

Noooo I love Richy
Should just buy Wissa anyway. We need the squad depth with the CL this season.
And step up Manor Soloman!
Not unless they're shipping out Mateta .. which along with Eze would be club suicide and Glasner would probably walk.
More bo!!ocks.
I give up.
There is no way we should currently have Richarlison as part of any deal that we were told had been secured. And that's assuming for one second there is any truth in it - there isn't.
Nothing we do or attempt is ever simple.
Ti think it's very easy to see the extent of criticism that will come the club's way.l if this doesn't go through.
I think the Eze deal is now less than more likely. Far too long and seemingly numerous obstacles with the main one possibly that the player just doesn't want to come.
Doesn't really compute to this situ though..... You don't piss off your customer base if the consequences stand to out-weight the so-called "brand boost". A "brand boost" of which the purpose is alleged to be for the eyes of said customer base in the first place.
1) How is a failed transfer a "brand boost" and 2) how do you quantify that being of more value than the upshot of a disenfranchised customer base?
Congrats.... You are the first person to take the tweet somewhat seriously.
Sadly; there is no prize though.
They do very very well hoovering up players in the £10-30m range available under their true market value and then flipping them on for closer to their true value, usually having found them a good shop window loan or covering a gap in their own squad until a better replacement becomes available in the market, they will take a shower on some of their bigger acquisitions (Mudryk, Fofana and Nkunku have all probably halved in value at least) but tbh their record of profiting on players they paid up to £30m for is remarkably good. We all assume other clubs would want to avoid doing business with them to spite them but I would bet good money the opposite is true and Chelsea have a very good reputation around Europe of being a very easy club to do deals with.
As for waiting til the price drops, hard to do when they are tied to 7 year deals and you have a selling club that will eagerly negotiate with other clubs to offload the player.
Which players have they done that with?
Oh your melting if you think anything is up with these deals. It's madnessBut when you do call out the inevitable nonsense, people crawl out of the woodwork to defend it.
7pm and nothing. Levy really is a useless dosser.
So hold on a second here. We've been told for days from nearly every media outlet out there that the deal for Eze is advanced and nearly all but agreed....
And now we're talking chucking Richarlison into it.
Hmm...sounds like nothing was even remotely close at any stage if we're still floating fantasies around.
All sounds pie in the sky.
Honestly, doubting the deal will happen for the first time now.
Levy will, never, ever change.
