If you remove emotion from the Ebere Eze deal, getting £67.5m for a 27-year-old who has been an ever-present and transformational presence in our first team for 5 years, scoring pivotal goals and helping us win the first major trophy in our history is superb business.
We signed him for £16m, he’s grown with us, recovered from major setbacks (an Achilles Tendon injury on the day he was called up by England) and matured into a player who you look to for something special when the pressure is on.
QPR fans adored him and still do, Palace fans will always feel the exact same way. He has an irrepressible love for the game, it comes through in the way he plays; he’s the sort of talent everyone wants to watch, the sort of lad you can’t help but root for.
He gave me (and every Palace fan) the greatest moment of my football supporting life in May of 2025 at Wembley; it’ll stay with me until my dying day. The word legend gets thrown around a lot in modern sporting parlance but his achievements in red and blue are truly worthy of the title.
Go well, Ebs. ❤️💙
@SkyHelpTeam repeated ‘Download Failed. Item Unavailable’ over the past week. Have restarted Sky Q Box and router but clearly a Sky issue as customer service forum has same complaint 300x. What’s the resolution?
In all honesty, what is the plan long-term? Because if it’s to keep a 72-year-old manager forever, cling onto Zaha and play through him relentlessly, buy players with no re-sale value and hope that we somehow finish 17th or better every season, the plan needs re-shaping.
@Pret long time customer, excited to try Korean chicken baguette from Wandsworth store. Very disappointed that, on return to my desk, it was totally inedible. Bread absolutely soaked. See picture. Have had to throw away 👎🏻
@GNRailUK serious disruption on trains to PBoro out of KingsX this evening. If a train is so full that it’s impossible to board when it reaches Fins Park, is it claimable time under delay repay?
