Love the guy, in my top 5 favourite players who have played for us over the last 15 years.

Just having him on free kicks alone would be an improvement on what we currently have

With the new Gareth Bale rumours and now these quotes this feels like a marvel script where the gang get back together for one last attempt at glory against all odds
Funnily enough I have a theory that Bale and Eriksen are destined never to play together/against each other. Have they ever featured together on a pitch at the same time?

Bale at Spurs May 2007 - September 2013
Eriksen at Spurs August 2013 - January 2020 (2 day cross-over, but never played together)
Bale at Spurs September 2020 - June 2021

Bale never featured in the two Champions League games we played against Madrid in the 16/17 Season.

Eriksen had already had his incident when Wales played Denmark in the Euro's.


Hmmmm.

Hmmmm.
They both started in a Nations League match between Wales & Denmark in November 2018.

I love this. Conte putting in the groundwork to bring him back in the summer. Could fix a tricky position for us with a free transfer and a player that knows both Conte and the club well. You know they must have spoken about it!

I miss Eriksen. Will be watching his progress at Brentford closely.
It was 100% discussed in January but deemed at that time "too complicated" I'm sure 3-4 months at Brentford, if things work out, would go a long way to alleviating some of those complications.

:) Dembele rocking out of retirement, I'm up for it.

Nice little touch here from the Spurs Twitter admin on the night when Eriksen (probably) makes his return to the football pitch:

Id take him back in a heart beat

The thing is - even if he proves himself etc for the next four months - would he really leave the team who gave him a chance to prove himself again. His form dipped but we were dipping as a whole. We were simply stale as a club and its not down to Poch, or a specific player or even th eowners but down as a collective

Depends.. how much connection he still has with the club. Maybe still some unfinished business, particularly if he feels more likely chance of silverware with Conte given he has worked with him.

I'm all aboard the Eriksen and Bale on a free train. You have £100m to fix 4 positions, you can get 4 £25m players or you can get Eriksen, Bale and 2 £50m players. I know which option I'm taking.

Wages complicated the maths a little but the principle remains.

Let’s wait and see how he does this season, it’s gonna take him time to get back to full match fitness.
