Or alternatively it's clickbait started by the known bastion of the truth, The Sun, then picked up by all the other sh*te online media?

Lightweight, went missing loads last season, sell him and get Gallagher

Also torn with Eze. Undoubtedly a talent, but feels like a luxury Player right now, who doesn't fit to our system.
Maybe if Zaha were to Leave? Or if Gallagher does not return next year he takes his Place, but that could leave our midfield short Of 'bite'. Though I'd be happy with a midfield of hughes /JMac(or his replacement) behind Eze.

I guess if the price is suitably silly, we'd be mad to pass it up.

"It was a Team effort, I guess it took all players working together to lose this one"

Hodgson's team was of course far from free-flowing but he did fit Eze into the side and the player was lauded for his excellence both by our supporters and those outside the club and rightly so.

Under Vieira, the narrative is all about a different progressive style and a far cry from so called "Royball" yet he cannot fit an exciting player into the team.

I have heard rumblings from those who are questioning whether Vieira was the right choice of manager.I am willing to accept that we are in transition and the Vieira reign is in its infancy.

In my Palace ' network ' PV is being given something of a free hit this season. My perception is that the hierarchy at Palace also recognise and accept the Transition that we are going through.

I get the point about PV not fitting Eze into the team, which is why I can only assume that the player himself is still far from ready to command a starting place. Certainly from what I've seen of Ebs this season, it's a player still on the journey back to full match fitness.

I have to admit that while recognising Eze's undoubted ability last season, I thought he was still work in progress at PL level and of course that progress was brought to a halt by his injury.

Old, Ungifted and White

Eze is a creator and once he moved into the middle last season he picked up two POTM awards and was in line for a call up for England. If you look at his stats he was among the top players in the PL for progressive passes, shot creating actions, assists and was also one of the top dribblers. We are desperately short on creativity at the moment and we have one of last season's top creative players on the bench. I'd be absolutely gutted if we sold him in the summer before he's had a chance to fully recover.

As I've said elsewhere, I think Vieira is perhaps just being cautious in managing his recovery, as in our position we can just about afford to ease Eze back and show patience with the integration of Olise.

I don't mean to be condescending, but I do think people are forgetting just how good he was just prior to his injury. It is really interesting to note his stats when he played in the middle: [Link] 10 games 2 goals 4 assists.
