Would £250k even cover Manning's hardship allowance?
'Hardship allowances are normally calculated as a percentage of salary, sometimes 30 per cent or more in areas where it is particularly difficult or unpleasant to live and work.' |  |

We had enquiries for players - think Palace asked about Eze very late in the window when they missed out on Bowen - but I hear the only firm official written offer we got for one of the young treasures in January was Blackburn for Ryan Manning at the princely sum of £250k  |
Taking the p1ss on a whole new level. I wonder if they asked for Eze and BOS to be thrown in aswell, a sort of buy one get two free job. | |

On retrospect, I suspect at a mere guess based upon a pure fantasy that we had an enquiry for BOS. This was responded with a high estimate on our part to see if they would come back and bite.
As this was late on in the window, we mitigated the risk by bringing in Clarke just in case they did meet our valuation. Which would explain why we signed him on loan when really we needed another Striker as we had lost Wells.
Of course, this is just guess based on our weird transfer policy that seems to be working now because we only sign young ens.
Like duh!

And maybe that's what Spurs thought. Maybe we are not the pushovers we once were. |
Maybe but in our last season of premiership payments I'd be surprised. | | | |

That finish from Eze...sublime. How he made that look so easy...that was a world class finish. |  | | |

It's a fine dividing line. If the only offer for Eze was £5M would you accept. What about anything less than £10M. Whatever the bid our financial situation would be the same and bidding clubs would be aware of it [Post edited 10 Mar 2020 14:06]

And our financial situation is that we're well within FFP, have room even to spend a little, and our owners seem to continue to be content to subsidise our allowable losses.
The bigger concern is that we wouldn't want to lose him for nothing in the summer of 2021. I would hope, to protect all parties, we get him signed up onto a generous new contract, with a gentleman's agreement about the kind of clubs we'd let him leave for, and the circumstances in which we do so, and a promise that his staying would be part of a concerted promotion push. To give him (his agent) peace of mind we might need to offer some kind of realistic but beneficial release clause (say £30m), or to really align goals, a kicker of a % of any transfer fee achieved over a set threshold (say £15m).

Rsonist made a good point a couple of months back when it comes to his eventual value - his position and role in the team isn't that conducive to a big fee.
Maupay, striker, 20 goals a season, easy. Webster, centre back who can also play a bit, easy. Bright, out and out winger, goes past people, east. Eze, well it'a bit more fluid and you kind of have to structure your team correctly to get him in, might make him a less attractive/more complicated option.
Things that mitigate against that - lots of teams play 4-2-3-1 now, and he's perfect for it. And he's shown for us this season and England U21s that he is capable of playing a set position, like wide left, and diligently doing the other bits of the game. |  | | |

Agree with rsonist's point and also your points in mitigation.
I would add this - Eze has far more talent than most. If - and it is an if - a club decides that he fits into their team they also know he has the talent to improve it massively. So maybe it's a case of less bidders but higher value regardless. |  |

He's also just getting better and better and better. The improvement on 12 months ago is marked. | | | |

It's really impressive.
I saw on the front page of LFW a link to a two-minute playlist of Eze against Preston. Whenever I see one of them it really hammers home just how often he makes the right decision now and just how economical he is with the ball while also being joyously expressive. | |

James Maddison and David Brooks are good comparables.
Maddison went for £22m after one full championship season with 3+1 years remaining on his contract.
In the same summer David Brooks went to Bournemouth for £11.5m. He'd played fewer games and had 3 years left on his contract.
Eze's only got 1 year left on his contract (unless there's a secret Hoos +1 in there that they didn't announce), but has played two and half seasons of championship games. So more valuable on experience, and there has been inflation too, but less valuable on contract status. | | | |

Our financial position has improved, marginally, so you would turn it down and try to sell others if you needed to.
The issue then becomes how long is his contract but even if it is only a year with no option, which I don't know but suspect is the case, then the £5 million would probably still be there in January. | | | |

Christ the valuations make me wonder what our front 3 are worth.😃He’s a quality player 12 /15 mill I’d think although not an impressive scoring record.BoS impresses me thought he was excellent at our ground this season and gave Henry a tough time which not many do. | | | |

Always makes me aligh at games when people shout 'man on' at him all game, as if he doesn't know. How people an watch him for this long and not notice that the guy has a brilliant eye and is ALWAYS aware of exactly where he is and who is or isn't near him. Got more brains in his baby toenail than a lot of the experts in the stands! |  |

12 goals from midfield (albeit advanced midfield) isn't bad - two more than benrahma, two fewer than Mbeumo.
Likely to end up on 15ish and averages almost exactly one in four through his career which, again, isn't bad for somebody who doesn't play up front, is still young and has mostly been playing in a crap side. | | | |

In some ways Eze reminds me of Le Tissier. Very skilful, composed and always looks like he has time on the ball. They both have a fluid, elegant style which to the untrained eye could be confused as languid. Le Tissier too suffered from unfair accusations of laziness. Just a shame that Eze won't be emulating Matt by staying at QPR for the rest of his career! |  | | |

Maddison Norwich stats 2017-18.
44 games
14 goals
8 assists
Brooks Sheff Utd same season
30 games
3 goals
4 assists
Eze already on 12 & 8 (albeit that includes 3 pens - tho I argue he'd have scored 2 from free play at Hull had he not been chopped ;))
As you say, their contract situations were very different but EE's stats more than match up.
To put them all in context - Adel in the promotion season, 19 goals (3 or 4 pens?) and 21 assists in 44! |  |

The only differences I could see previously with Maddison is that he played for Coventry before joining Norwich and had more England U21 games. But with Eze's loan spell at Wycombe and now matching him for stats in the Championship, I actually think we would be close to the same offer if they had similar time on their contracts.
My gut feeling is c£15m plus add ons - but a lot depends on how many clubs are properly in for him... |  |

I was looking at his total over his time at Qpr he only scored 4 in 42 last season but more than decent 11 in 33 this season so big improvement so I agree with you.Doubt if you will be able to get the chance to see the best of him something we have had to get used to by selling players over recent years. | | | |

I agree. There are certainly parallels, but Sterling is the finished article and has been coached by some of the best in the world at amazing facilities and been tested and proven at the very top level of club and international football. Eze has played average second tier games, coached by very good second tier coaches on a rented training ground. He is currently a squad player in the under 21 team. He is good and developing incredibly well in the circumstances, but to get to the next level he probably needs a little more speed (he isn’t slow, but Players like Sterling tend to lightning quick ).
Don’t get me wrong he is the best player I’ve seen since Taraabt, but Adel found the Prem a step up. |
It’s true Adel didn’t hit the heights in the premier league, he was still our best player. He was good enough to mix it with the best, his performance away against Chelsea is one of the best I’ve ever seen. |  |
