Me too, after his two goals for us at their gaff last season, spurs fans must hate him 🤣

What do you mean by causing problems at “the Turkish Club” (Trabzonspor) he went to? He was top scorer for them with 33 goals and 11 assists, they won the Turkish Cup, came second in the League and qualified for the Champions League. Solrloth was the Golden Boot winner for Turkey that year. It meant that Palace got their money back on the deal which brought him to Selhurst.
The real problem was Hodgson who seemed to know nothing about forward play and ruined many potentially good forwards.

I am wondering if I will ever not think about (and smile) the Wembley goal when I see him play.

I cheered him on today, but I wonder if the Eze love in will survive him scoring against us at Selhurst and say potentially stopping us getting into Europe.
Will it even last that long if he knocks us out of the Carabao Cup?

Who cares if he does. That's the job he's now employed to do.
However many goals he scores against us will never take away 'that' goal that he scored for us.
I'm glad to see him do well (hopefully not against us) and it'll be fun seeing him come up against his mate Olise on Wednesday.

Yes indeed, but many fans had no time for Ian Wright after he kissed the badge. He got endless abuse.
I never felt that way. He will always be a Palace hero to me, even if he does talk a load of bollocks at times.
I wish Eze well, but we need to move on. He is with THEM now.

I don’t see Eze celebrating scoring against us unless we give him stick beforehand. If we do we can have no complaints if he celebrates but it will just be a bit sad for all involved.

From what I saw, half his celebrations are sending his thanks to the heavens. Nice touch. But I dont suppose he will be sending any against us. One is more than enough already.
Three of my favourite ever and best ever Palace players have ended up at Arsenal , in each case breaking up three of our greatest ever teams - Sansom, Wright and Eze.
No wonder I dislike Arsenal.
To compound the misery, when the roles are reversed look who we end up with - the likes of David Price, Julian Gray and Holding.
Let’s hope Nketiah breaks the mould and we are the ones who end up laughing.

The Wembley goal was fantastic but for me the one against Villa in the Semi will always take the biscuit.

Same here apart from Eze, I just can’t put him anywhere near the class of King Kenny and Wrighty. Yes Eze scored the biggest goal in our history, but for me he had long spells in seasons and during games where you would hardly know he was playing. Also Eze leaving is not having the same effect as those two leaving, it was the beginning of the end of those great teams then, this time as a club we now cope a lot better with losing our best players and we’re doing better without Eze so far

Agreed.
Olise is the best player we've let go since and it's to the credit of the manager and players that we're up there challenging without him and Eze.

At least Arsenal paid the asking price. If you want a laugh read the Spurs forums slating their Board letting him get away then having to watch him score three against them. Every cloud 🤣

We’ve sat several times at games and said Olise was different class and were much more bothered when he left. I agree as well, great players have left us over the years, but I think you’re right, Olise was the best since Wrighty and Sansom, probably wasn’t around long enough to be in the same category as them for what he did for the club, but for sheer quality of player leaving I make you right.
Olise was always involved in games from start to finish, constantly wanting the ball and generally doing something with it, not sure I can say the same about Eze apart from maybe his little hot spell second half of last season
Arse fans will be crowing how they have made Eze a better player like they did with wright , I mean Eze was getting better season on season we made him arsenal rejected him , and wright wasnt scoring goals for us when he left only 90 and we made him , ive lost my love for wright awhile ago with things he done and said , Were Eze its different he loved his time here and the fans and the players

That Arsenal celebration still sticks with a lot of Palace fans, and there were things he did after he left that didn’t exactly endear him to us. That said to say he wasn't scoring for us is rubbish.
We were a long ball team. A good long ball team, but a long ball team all the same. If you look at Wright and Bright's stats they are almost identical. 2 games and one goal in it.
Bright then went to Sheff Wed - and his goal ratio went down. Route one suited him.
For Wright however - If you look at the goals he scored -the chip against Chelsea alone deserved its own award. Once he got to Arsenal and had people passing to his feet instead of his postal code, it’s no mystery he kicked on. Don’t blame him for that. Anyone would improve if they upgraded from long ball to actual football.
And we can’t ignore the fact we’ve done the same to others. Olise from Reading. Eze from QPR. Wright from Dulwich Hamlet. Nigel Martyn from Bristol Rovers. Matt Jansen from Carlisle, Wharton with Blackburn. This is football. Clubs higher up the ladder take from us, and we take from the clubs below.
Enjoy these players while they’re here. That’s all any of us can do and look back fondly.

Agreed. They could both be in next year's world cup final 😎
