Obviously contracts are confidential however when asked after Eze made a substitute appearance for England Phillip Beard replied he would be absolutely delighted if Eze started a game for England.
The deal with Palace always had a lot of add ons money based on appearances (as long as Palace remained in the Premier league) etc and I am guessing this was a big sell on clause my guess would be circa £2M.
I also believe the 20% sell on fee is for the whole amount not just the differance on any profit Palace may make.
Don't we all just love Eze.....
Good to see Beard still keeping tabs on things years after he left the club. A true fan and much maligned by our ungrateful fanbase imo.
V pleased for Eze, whether it benefits us or not. I hope it does, I hope he makes a good impression and goes on to Euros squad.

He is playing to deep and has to much to do when he gets the ball. He needs to step up and receive the ball nearer the goal. Obviously not his fault, Southgate I presume wants him playing a bit deeper ,but for me he is wasted in this position.
AND WHEN I DREAM , I DREAM ABOUT YOU AND WHEN I SCREAM I SCREAM ABOUT YOU!!!!!
No one here making a claim for the squad really. Not a fan of Jared Bowen or Gallagher at all. Nowhere near the level.
Agree, those two poor today, as was Palmer. Alexander-Arnold decent in midfield though, but so far Konsa making the biggest claim for the squad for me. Think we'll need to be a threat from set pieces to do well at the Euros if we play like this against opposition set up to frustrate us.
Thought Eze did enough to get more of the country behind him and show what he can do. Only player in that first half who didn’t do the usual England thing and take three touches and play the easy ball. He should be pleased with that.

yeah agree on Konsa, he's had a good game.
Eze was excellent first half and when we upped tempo a bit after half time we looked a lot better, TAA running the game in midfield

Agree. My concern is that his attacking burst might be judged ‘high tariff’ by Southgate. With that burst through crowded defenders there is the risk of turnover and Mr Cautious might prefer slow and steady possession which bores the arse off of us but less likely to be punished.
Grealish already sitting high and wide since Eze and Trippier have both gone off

don't buy that at all, if anything will cost him it was that he was part of a quite lethargic first half, that and he's up against some really good players in the same position. Southgate is cautious as every manager is but the slow build up is usually due to the opposition putting everyone behind the ball so very little space to play in and first half we had no width at all with Eze, Bowen and Palmer all wanting to come inside
