What did they pay for Eze in the end? I'd have gladly taken him but not as a starter.
Tonight was what he's capable of but he has no consistency yet (but few at that age do).
20m I think and he ain't no Jack Grealish

That's why he cost £20m instead of at least double if not triple.5-10m I'd have snapped your arm off and I'd have paid that last season, let alone this summer. 20 - no chance though. He's no Jack, Mount, Zaha, Diangana, Barnes etc - he'll be bloody good but not 20 at this stage even in this market given the inconsistency.
"An inspirational performance from Eberechi Eze ensured that Crystal Palace moved up to sixth spot as Leeds suffered a second successive 4-1 defeat"
"Eze dusted himself down after being fouled on the edge of the penalty area to curl home an exquisite free-kick via the underside of the crossbar. “He was outstanding,” said Hodgson. “The goal for me was the icing on the cake.”
Cheap too. How many times did I suggest this guy ?
But then maybe he wanted to stay in London
Maupay in fairness would have been a much better signing than Wesley and has as many goals as Watkins in the league so far this season.One performance does not mean we should have signed him.
We had all this bollox with Maupay and that nut job from Rangers last season. Yet now......

How many players are signed for any side and are guaranteed to hit the ground running and have great seasons? There's always risks.I didn’t want to sign Watkins. I didnt want Maupay. I didn’t want Eze or Cash.
Fed up with signing and aiming for championship players who we have to then wait to see if they come good. Spent last season waiting for players to come good and looks like the majority of fans are now prepared to wait again because now we have lost 2 games I am reading a lot of ..... he will be fine/come good etc etc.

And there is no point looking enviously at players we didn't sign ....totally pointless exercise. We probably spent what we could this season, so the focus should be on making our players perform better.How many players are signed for any side and are guaranteed to hit the ground running and have great seasons?

We don't have the budget to go after more established players because of the wages these players command.Everyone is a risk.
But there is a scale of risk isn’t there. Using our one eye catching, albeit lone signing as an example.
10/10 of fans would say Barkley will be more successful than Watkins based on what we know about him, previous performances and pedigree thereby a less risky signing.

We're still beholden to FFP and there's not a god damn thing any one can do about it unless we want to risk massive fines (which puts a dent into future budgets) or even points deductions. Whilst we have been able to allocate good amount to fees we have very clearly found wages an issue. We could get Barkley because we didn't have to pay a large fee to sign him, no way would be signing players for big fees + big wages at this stage.Another season of mediocrity at best then.
Thrilling .
Yep.Another season of mediocrity at best then.
