no we didn't

Oh, yes we did

There was a rumour that Palace turned down a bid from Spewcastle last summer but was rejected alright and it came from Parish . I reckon we could get 60-70 mill for him at a push , just enought for Gallagher and a right back .

Obviously caught up in some alternate universe Star Trek episode.
Spock: "Fascinating. We appear to be in the universe as we know it, but there's talk of Eze going for £60/70 million."
Kirk: "You can't beat a bit of Vulcan logic my old friend."
Both: "Ha ha ha haha ha!"

Clueless idiot even

I'd say most clubs and fans probably look at this move as a massive overspend and it probably now acts as a deterrent to spending huge values on talent from so called lesser clubs.

If a team was to bid for Eze today I'd say they'd probably try their luck opening at a bid of around 25m and realistically with add ons we could probably look for a max of 40m. Obviously if he was to become more productive and influential in games during the second half of the season then this fee would rise. At the moment no one is going to play top dollar for a player who drifts in and out of games showing glimpses of magic every few games. His current level is good enough for us (which is why he's here) but not consistent enough for a top 6 club.
