He has already ticked inter off his CV list has he not?
Edit, just checked, he has. He has played for 7 clubs. 5 of the loan moves. Mental.

I think you're right, we should trust in the same people and methods, except if we are to "knock RM off their perch" I'd like to see the dial turned up a notch. Not go for the "superstars" such as Mbappe and Bellingham types but the ones who may be in that class within the next 2-3 years to join Foden, Rodri and hopefully Alvarez, Doku, Rico, Bobb, etc. who aren't there yet.

I remember Chelsea letting Winston Bogarde rot in the reserves for four years on £40k a week.
What a nightmarish existence that must have been for him.

The Dutch Danny Mills.
The amount of people underrating Eze here is quite surprising. He's a superstar footballer and I expect you will all be saying what a great signing he was a year from now.
He moves in a way that very few can, and when you consider he's quite a big body (in how he uses his stature), its even more impressive. I mean, have any of you even watched him? His talent is front and center every Palace match. His balance and ability to carry the ball and glide past defenders in transition is world class. Grealish is probably not getting any better and Eze is the perfect player to take his role. They have the same graceful flow when ball carrying. I expect he'll play in a left winger role for us.
The posters on here saying that players like this stagnate us, and top teams like Bayern don't make signings like this are far off the mark.
And with comparables such as these:
It should be no wonder that we're all over him for the rumored buy out fee. Having these comparables while playing for Palace is incredible. English too - bargain.

Why would he be wearing last season's kit?

Only if there’s a 3 for 2 on offer at Aldi’s.
Grealish is about 600 times the player of Eze and the most comparable player in the squad is Doku who is already younger and better than him.

In what way?
Grealish is the almost perfect control player in the City system. With Foden et al in the middle, much of our ball retention, tempo control and game management is done by Grealish and Silva on the wings. Eze is your typical English wideman/playmaker who dives towards the goal or an attacking movement at almost every opportunity. He's essentially Foden 3-4 years ago or Doku now which is fine unless you're 26 and coming off the best season in your career.
There's a reason Doku doesn't generally start games when Grealish is in form and comes off the bench, and it's the same reason why Eze wouldn't get a look in either. In bigger games we can't use him, and in smaller games we don't need him. He doesn't have the brain and we already have two young lads with similar skillsets that we're trying to improve that aspect of in the same position. Any more would feel like a job lot.
