Isn’t it funny we could all see this would be a dreadful signing but the suits making the decisions didn’t

this has him as our second highest paid player. I seriously think he may be the worst signing we've ever made.

Why do people place reliance on these sham websites and take it as gospel?

Yes  said in an earlier post hard to believe that Palace a well run club with no PSR issues would pay 90k a week to a squad player

They gave him a new extended contract last summer. 

[UniFox21]

Spent all month saying we want rid, and then keep him

not gonna be at £90k a week though, that's just because they can't loan with 12 months left on his contract, so it'll be 1 year extension triggered, almost certainly at the same wages.

We might as well just throw him into the mix at this point. We look as if we’re accepting defeat so why not utilise him?

Yes but doubt it's was for that amount he's  not set the world on fire in the last 3 seasons

[HybridFox]

Get him on the bench at least. Get something out of it

[ronnup]

Useless lump doesn't even make the ****ing bench. This is a colossal **** up

[hejammy]

How can he be worse than a 38 year old who has run out of steam and a player who seemingly may well be the worst finisher we've seen for over 2 decades?

The difference is come what may Vardy and Daka at least put some effort into playing even if it doesn't come off while Édouard doesn't even try. 

Even at CP he was considered lazy by fans and not wanted by managers

Even a lazy Edouard would get more chances than Vardy the fleeting appearances he’s had for us he looked like a donkey but was in a position to get a chance at goal I know he fluffed the opportunities but one will go in eventually

[ClaphamFox]

The only way he’ll even make it onto the bench this season is if both Daka and Vardy are injured. And even then he’ll probably be behind Jake Evans. 

[Lako42]

Money well spent

Now that’s a player who knows where the net is, give him his chance in the first team Arseholeanal  have that young lads playing regularly so maybe we should give Evans a try out?

[whoareyaaa]

disaster signing from John & Cooper along with Skipp, BDCR and Ayew.

[HybridFox]

Laughing all the way to the bank. Full pay garden leave

Yep and that will be the only one he gets coming off his butt.🤣🤣

[Bernieboots76]

As far as I can see he has only managed 26 minutes of on pitch time in the league.  
 

Another great use of the clubs limited money which has NOT helped strengthen the squad in any way, shape or form.

Eduard got 7 goals in 17 starts last season  18 in 61 not bad figures it's truly baffling he can't even make the bench

When negotiating the deal with Palace, Leicester paid a £2.5 million loan fee and agreed to supplement a hefty portion of the forward’s wages, which are understood to be around a basic £90,000 a week inclusive of bonuses.

 

Edouard scored seven goals in the Premier League for Palace last season and signed a contract extension to 2027 before joining Leicester.

 

Despite that new deal, Palace are believed to have turned down a request from Leicester to rip up his loan prematurely in January.

 

The only option for a potential exit appears to be Major League Soccer in the United States.

 

The MLS transfer window is open until April 23, yet it is understood Edouard has already rejected a move to Atlanta United. The offer from Atlanta was worth a total £15 million.
