He basically says Wembley has been our second home but it will be good for the team and the fans to get back to our own stadium. Express try to make out this means he wants to stay but he doesn’t actually mention that.

He doesn't suggest that at all, he refers to WHL being home and he cant wait to play there.

I do think he could stay IF we are ambitious in the transfer window and sign some top quality players. It may even tempt Toby to stay too but it's a big if.

Fact is if he doesn't sign on this summer the club will WANT to sell him. Hard to argue with their logic financially. He has to sign or go and I'm hopeful he'll sign and we should offer as much as we can afford to. Not too confident atm tho.

The club should really make him an offer in line with Kane and Alli, if he then doesn't sign we have to sell. There is a possibility tho Eriksen will sign he is a good player although it hasn't been the best of season performance wise.

I'd be surprised if the offer we made before wasn't somewhere in the vicinity of Kane's and Alli's. Thing is he's that little bit older and he knows now is the time to move if he ever wants to play for Real/Barca. If was ever gonna sign he would've done it by now and I really can't see him staying at this point.

Our only hope is that no-one comes in for him and he starts to genuinely think we're his best option. As soon as one of the big Spanish boys comes in he'll be out the door though.

This is a situation that should never have been allowed to develop. I think we are now seeing the implication of not signing Grealish or another versatile forward player EARLY in last summer's window. Given that the window was punctuated by the world cup, shortened to shut before the start of the season plus with the club knowing that Son was going to the Asia Games soon after the season started, it was imperative from both a football and a business perspective to get another forward in so we could put a timeline for Eriksen to sign up or be sold ideally to one of the big boys in Europe before the end of the summer window.

Instead, whilst the likes of Leicester were decisive in signing Maddison early, we messed about trying to get Grealish on the cheap which spectacularly backfired after Villa secured investment and then descended into the farce of last minute bids on deadline day . With the security of another forward to beef up the squad, we could have sold Eriksen probably for around the £100m mark last summer if he didn't commit by a set deadline. In the meantime, he has continued to flatter to deceive on the pitch and with a year left on his contract, we'll be lucky to get £30-40m for him this year. This situation has been badly handled by the club IMHO and if he does leave, the value we should be reaping having developed him for the last 6 years (the very essence of our strategy for buying young) will not be realised. SAD.
