The media are still screaming from the rooftops that he is about to join Arsenal and that he wants to join Arsenal and that he's agreed personal terms and nasty old Palace are holding him back and stifling his career by demanding his entire release clause, blah, blah, blah.
IF Arsenal have agreed personal terms (very doubtful because Eze is honorable and has openly said he would never disrespect Palace) and its a big IF thats an illegal approach as Palace have said anyone seeking permission to speak either directly or indirectly to Eze has to activate his release clause. We know Arsenal have not done that. In fact the idiots in the media are still banging on that Arsenal will get him for less than that despite Palace publically stating twice that Eze will not be leaving for a penny less than his release clause and even then the club will demand most of that up front.
I now feel Sportings pain the way Arsenal tried to nickel and dime them over Gorkyres (sorry bad spelling) for months before a deal was struck.
They are clearly and unashamedly trying to unsettle Eze. Hoping he'll approach Palace saying he wants to join them. I just dont see Eze doing that. He's better than that and like Marc Guehi I dont believe he is in any hurry to leave Palace because he knows we have a special team here and a quality manager and he is not unhappy at Palace.
I dont believe Arsenal are serious enough to pay what Palace demand but if they are they'd better hurry up. His release clause expires in 2 days. Then Palace can demand £100m if they want to.
