Eberechi Eze - Crystal Palace

TheReligion · Dec 26, 2019

I don't watch lots of the Championship admittedly but this guy has caught my eye a few times and wondered if he's got the potential to step up a level to the PL.

21 year old strong, pacey, tricky forward. Looks good with both feet and has scored 9 goals with 4 assists this season. Good blocks to build on or nothing special?

Classical Mechanic · Dec 26, 2019

Someone in the PL will buy him that is for sure.

Lash · Dec 26, 2019

Definitely good enough to step up to the prem IMO. It would be with a team towards the bottom end mind you. My mate is a QPR season ticket holder and he think he's the best player he's ever seen at the club.

Classical Mechanic · Aug 3, 2020

Going for £16m. Could be worth a gamble as a back up. He can play pretty much anywhere and is similar to Grealish. I think you could flog him at a profit if he didn’t work out.

Got that touch of class, Grealish lite when on the ball imo. Would do well in prem, talk is Palace are leading the race and they certainly need more creativity in central areas so that would be a good move for him.

No freaking way he's 173 cm tall.

When was the last time we paid 15m+ on a player and made a profit? Let alone a flop

pocco · Aug 3, 2020

I would have thought somebody better than Palace would give him a chance, he looks like a really promising talent. I thought a team like Wolves, Everton or Spurs might have brought him in, especially as he's cheap and with the current financial climate.

AkaAkuma · Aug 3, 2020

Suprised theres no German interest.

You do know who is managing Spurs? He doesn't do promising talent. Just ask Troy Parrott and Ryan Sessegon.

Didn't he bring Greenwood through here? On a side note, I've never rated Sessegnon.

Grealish is exactly the player he reminds me of, really similar in his dribbling style and the positions he takes up on the pitch.

Been watching him all season and agree that Palace would be a good move for him. Hope he doesn't go to West Ham, just something very dislikeable about that club.

No. Never made an appearance under Jose.

Not quite 15 million, but if were to sell James right now I think we can get a profit on him.

Danny Roberts · Aug 4, 2020

Seen him live once and he impressed. Mate who supports QPR raves about him and I think he'd be a good signing for someone like..hmm, not sure but not us. Midtable Prem.

Ah that's right. He hadn't played but said his plan is to bring him into the first team over the next few months, but he got sacked. Think he'd brought him in to train with the first team though.

CM · Aug 4, 2020

Eze is good enough for a midtable side but he's still not ready to play at a higher level than that yet. It also wouldn't be wise for him to move somewhere he isn't a starter, he needs regular minutes.

pocco said:

He brought him on pre-season and then whinged for weeks that he was forced to play with kids. In a non-competitive environment.

He also said that we'd never see the kids again that season unless there was a crisis. Then he was fired just before the end of the year

Craig Ward · Aug 4, 2020

This guy looks brilliant. Skillful, composed on the ball.

Picks a pass when needed and ghosts past people easily.

16mil is a bargain for him in todays market

Ace of Spades · Aug 4, 2020

Very good player, palace is a very good move for him imo. He should get regular game time there.

My only Eric · Aug 4, 2020

Man I would pay to see him come on against pool and take the living piss off of henderson.

Drunken football dribble style is best dribble style.

I doubt greenwood would have played half a 1/4 of the minutes he got here this season under Jose.

"why always Lukaku"

His name is David.

TheReligion · Jan 2, 2021

Told you about this lad.

Gem.

FootballHQ · Jan 2, 2021

Has he declared for England?

Perhaps no space but I'd honestly call him up for the euros squad as a wildcard option off the bench.

Fridge chutney · Jan 2, 2021

I saw him play live at Loftus Road last year. He was fantastic. Was surprised he wasn't getting more minutes for Palace.

Blades1889 · Jan 2, 2021

Eze goal. I do rate him but there’s no way he scores that against anyone half decent.

He'll be 23 in a few months and until this season has been nowhere near a full England callup so "declaring for England" would've been a bit silly on his behalf.

If he can't get in the full squad he might do a Ola Aina (born in England, play for the youth sides and then switch when he doesn't get picked).

duffer · Jan 2, 2021

That goal was Hazard-esque.

Sandikan · Jan 2, 2021

Had him on loan at my boys Wycombe the other season.
Was ludicrously better than that league!

Not at all surprised he's becoming a force in the top league.

Think he's been a regular for England Under 21s this cycle. @Classical Mechanic would give more info on how Boothroyd has been using him than I can....

I assume with his heritage Nigeria will be taking a look and giving him big role for 2022 world cup so he might go and play for them like Victor Moses did. He's someone who'd probably have got some England caps after he moved to Chelsea.

He’s been fairly regular in the squad but by no means a key player. I’ve always thought he’d end up with Nigeria because I think the England set up have always favoured other players over him whilst he’s pretty far away from the senior side. Reiss Nelson has always been ahead of him, for example. Boothroyd seems to love him.

Thats just my opinion, he may really want to play for England. Surprised we haven’t heard more from Nigeria on it because they’re very pro-active with these things.

FootballHQ · Jan 2, 2021

Trained with Super Eagles in the past.

Silas · Jan 2, 2021

Think and hope he'll play for Nigeria. Could have a pretty exciting team going into the next WC.

GledTheRed · May 19, 2021

Done his achilles tendon, out for a good six months.

TheReligion · May 19, 2021

I've been a big fan of this guy for a few years so disappointed to hear this.

Next season would have been big for him

Damn, horrible injury after he’d seemed to really establish himself in the team.

Him and Neto were two of the more exciting younger talents in the league this year both struck down by injury.

CM · May 19, 2021

That's a real shame for him. He looked as though he was starting to get his feet under the table at Palace and next season would be the one where he kicks on.

I imagine this injury will set him back at least a year in that respect.
