IF we´re selling Eriksen to Real Madrid, and IF we´re looking at a player coming to us as part of the deal, I´d much rather have Isco (better and a year younger). And Bale for good measure.

It’s a lot easier to shine at those two clubs in those two leagues. Since he moved to elite clubs I just think he’s looked a bit meh and has lived off that World Cup. He’s a faux elite footballer in my opinon, Eriksen is head and shoulders better than him. It won’t happen anyway due to the stupid wages he’d probably want.

Or Modric. Doubt we'd get any to be fair.

He does have injury issues, that is true. But he is also an excellent talent. Can play very well cutting in from the right as well as an AM. Considering I doubt he would cost much and we could also get him on a loan for the rest of the season, I would be delighted with getting him. Ether way, I would hate to see him at arsenal. Far classy for that lot.

Could very well be another Özil for them though. Technical player who turns up when he feels like it and sits on massive wages.

Would be shocked if he would agree to a team that isn't in the Champions league. Although maybe the thought of playing with those strikers would be appealing. Arsenal continuing to neglect their defense won't upset me though.

Crazy isn't it? Everyone in football knows their defence is terrible and they spend Jan chasing loan deals for Denis Suarez and James.

And now they don't have RB either. Priorities.

I can't even say they think its FIFA because even in FUT you make sure all positions are at least decent

Potentially. Depends how he is managed. I have followed James most of career as he is one of those players I really like watching. He massively benefits from managers putting an arm around him and making him feel wanted. Uni has an odd track record. He worked incredibly well with Benaga who is a very particular personality but then again failed with the egos at PSG.

Your statement does not refute @St José Dominguez statement at all. Both things can be true and in this case they happen to be. His already growing profile was vastly increased by his performance in the 2014 Word Cup. All the while he was part of the Mendes chattel and I believe still is. He is a player with many question marks to his character and game though he is undeniably talented.

And has been described as an insensitive machine in the way you talk about. I don't think James would last long with Poch's methods before whining in the press.

He might struggle with the high work load that is true, but Lucas also had a shocking work rate at PSG and seems to have adapted. I also think Poch is very much a people's manager and by all accounts likes to get chummy with the players. That would really suit James. I guess it comes down to how well we know him on and off the pitch. I would love him here, not necessarily as a Eriksen replacement, but if we could get a loan till the end of the season to see if he fits. I think his ability would nicely complement what we have and would help taking the work load of Eriksen.
Saying all that, I still think if we loan anyone it will be Malcom.

I'd be all over this as a loan until the summer. Lets us get a closer look at him, allows Poch time to see if he thinks he can work with him, with a view to include as part of the Eriksen transfer. Allows a 6 month transition period too.
If Real are comfortable that he's a talent with a personality that is professional, no reason they wouldn't be open to it as it works for them long term - if they don't then that speaks volumes to the player.
We have a great relationship with Real (by that I mean we sell them our best) can't see why it wouldn't be good business all round.
