Eberechi Eze to Arsenal Football Club.
- Andrea made the call and Eze ordered his agents to cut all communication with the scum.
- Parish was out today enjoying a casual shopping day. He has been left astounded by how fast Andrea has completed this hijack.
- Josh Kroenke green lit the deal today
- Eze currently at a New Balance event while his agent is closing final details with Andrea.
- The plan is for Eze to complete his medical this week God willing.
- Judge Andrea Berta when the window closes, not a minute before.

You are not safe either. Dishonest discourse. Make your mind up or does it depend on the club?
Are set plays ruining the Premier League? 🤔

Disingenuous article & biased article. The same author wrote an article praising Liverpool's use of setpieces, under the headline "Why being good at set pieces can win you trophies"

He told Amorim .. I WANT ARSENAL
He told Jorge Mendes … I WANT ARSENAL
He told Sporting… I WANT ARSENAL
He told Saudi… I WANT ARSENAL
You could never ever make me hate the man who had to console his parents and family that he do whatever it took to play for Arsenal Football Club. My club.
I hope you smash it Viktor.

We went into this game with no Saka Saliba Havertz and Rice (bench) without a single fan concerned. That is called elite squad depth.
For context, White Saliba Hincapie MLS did not start today and that alone is an insane defensive line up. Our squad is insanely deep and ready.

My understanding is that there has been informal dialogue between Arsenal and Crystal Palace for the transfer of Eze very very recently.
The player is clear..Arsenal is my dream choice. His camp feel optimistic as things stand.
Some sources have suggested the release clause is technical and requires it to be paid in a set timeframe (2 years) but these things are so confidential that one cant be entirely sure.
Clubs prefer interested parties approach the selling club directly to discuss these things with honour and dignity to find an agreement as opposed to unsettling a player. Eze loves Palace and will want it all handled properly as it has been. The MGW is a case to be studied in this regard of what not to do.
There is a long way to go for this file to reveal itself properly, its important to follow it step by step but things seem positive as of today. There are some fantastic journalists reporting on it currently. Support them.
Health permitting I will try my best to give updates as and when ❤️

They tried to run the “Arsenal are a boring set piece team who are ruining football” agenda and we just put one of Europes best defence in a spliff. Atletico beat Real Madrid 5-2 recently and we bagged 4 with a clean sheet. Scary hours.

The contract renewal list Andrea had when he walked in was obscene. When he wraps up Saka and Saliba, he needs to be commended properly for it.
No matter how difficult agents can be, he has a creative solution to counteract it.

Tim Lewis and Steve Parish share a long standing excellent relationship and have worked on multiple football related projects. Did Parish stall the Eze deal the last 48 hours after covert conversations?
Frankly, some things are better left for folklore.
Andrea Berta built a fantastic relationship with the Eze camp over the last 6-8 weeks. I am sure that will come out sooner or later.
Josh being in the UK helped massively as Mikel and Andrea delivered an undeniable pitch in person. While some at the club raised PSR concerns, Josh stood firmly with Arteta. Green light was given and Tim Lewis / Parish and Berta / Eze agents completed the greatest hijack in recent times.

Eberechi Eze Current State of Play
- His future was linked to Ethan’s hence my statement “until a formal approach is made, proceed with caution”
- Since the talks / glowing references from Arsenal players Arteta is obsessed and directly communicated this to the board.
- My understanding is personal terms have never been an issue. Once source said, he would sign a 5 year deal tomorrow.
- Furthermore, I also understand he has told Chelsea and Bayern his preference is Arsenal but how long can a player wait?
- Informal dialogue has taken place with Palace but nothing further as of today.
- Arsenal will focus on sales and hopefully the sale of Trossard opens the door?
The hope is Andrea makes sales and picks up the phone to Steve Parish. If anything develops further I will be sure to update you.
It is well known in the industry Parish is honourable and straight forward. He would use the money to re-invest into Selhurst Park and other club matters. There is a deal there to be done.
That is all I have on Eze specifically.
Let me be clear… WE HAVE TO SIGN EZE.
We cant go into the season short again.
The fans are not asking for €200m signings like Yamal or Mbappe.. they are asking for a Hale End boy who directly fits a massive hole in our squad.
The facts laid bare.

I think its important to recollect your thoughts before speaking after a game like yesterday. Context is king and we have been on a club historic run recently.
We played 3 away games in 7 days with 6 first team attackers out injured. The lads have put in a sensational shift while carrying knocks that have not even been publicly disclosed.
Also, its key to remember we have been to Old Trafford, Anfield, St James Park and played City once and are leading the Premier League heading into the festive period.
I know first hand the squad are treating yesterday as a loss and that speaks to the mindset of the current group and what they aim to achieve this season.
The break comes at a timely manner for us because the current squad need a breather and in the words of Gunnerblog the cavalry are coming.
