He played as one of the inside forwards, I can’t see him displacing Son or Kulu in our 3-4-3, Conte at Inter used him in a 3-5-2 deep lying playmaker role, I don’t think Conte sees him as a n.10/inside forward like he was in Pochs system.He played in a 3-4-3 for most of the season in our best season in my living memory. Where we went undefeated all season at home in the last year at White Hart Lane and finished second. But he couldn't possibly play in that system could he. Some people have short memories.
Also Poch’s 3-4-3 was different to Contes, Eriksen had license to go deep and almost have a free role, Contes is a bit more ridgid.
But Eriksen is a phenomenal player one of my favourite ever so if he’s keen to come back and Conte is keen to have him back then it’s a no brainer on a free, get it done and let he and Conte worry about where he’d play and in which formation.
