Oh yeah forgot about him, suppose thats quite importantIf they can't find a replacement it means they are not getting eriksen. So doubt we'd need zanillo unless lo celso isn't coming?
I dunno.

No idea why we bother with Madrid. This happens every fucking summer. Players don’t want to leave as they are the pinnacle of club football and Madrid hardly ever need or want to sell. We end up wasting our time chasing their players to no avail and it happens every year.
I think other than VDV every attempt to sign a player from Madrid has been a complete and utter waste of time
Do we though? I mean we might have one phone call and ask madrid to keep us informed of the situation and then move on to other targets. We don't know how much chasing we actually do.
It isn't if you spread that over two summers though. We didn't spend a thing last transfer window, and surely we didn't only have 35m to spend in each? We were after de Jong so there was 70m or so available last window too. It all adds upI still find it a big leap to expect us to add Lo Celso without sacrificing Eriksen. After buying Ndombele already, that’s a huge outlay.
Madrid seem to have gone a bit cold on Eriksen, maybe the fee Levy is asking is the reason.
The most probable outcome still seems to be to be a trade, Eriksen to Madrid, Ceballos and Mariano Diaz to us. Ceballos would add sole class to our midfiels, and Diaz would add another dynamic forward to the mix, one capable of playing centrally or wider.
Hasn’t it been stated several times that the loan request is because he doesn’t want his current management benefitting from a permanent transfer.
If he's not interested in joining us we'd have stopped trying to sign him/lost interest ourselves ages ago.if he is not interested in joining us then we should just go for other targets, he is not the only young CM with high potential in the market (and we have already signed one of the best )
Hmm the Ceballos and Eriksen deals did seem to be interlinked. Does make you wonder if RM are refusing to push for Eriksen now. On the other hand it could also be them playing poker.
Kinda hope Eriksen being back at Spurs, Poch seemingly keen on him staying, Ndombele in as an early statement of intent, maybe he could be convinced to stay and sign a new deal after all? Throw in a 100m clause or similar for RM/Barca if that's what it takes.
