Player watch: Christian Eriksen

[knowlespurs]

There would be very few left on here............

Yep only me

Without wanting to be too parrotty, we really do 'need' Lo Celso as well. We need our Lamela from '15-'17 back desperately, basically someone who can offer that little bit extra creatively in a different, more tenacious way than Eriksen, and also offer an alternative to him. Sadly, Lamela is unlikely to be able to provide that anymore. Nevertheless, Eriksen signing a new deal would of course be huge.

Thought that might be the case, fuckwits

I am here! at least say it behind my back

Lamela for the majority of his time here has flattered to deceive. His ship sailed sometime ago.

It's been taken down, too many idiots don't know when to give it a fucking rest.

A day like any other then!

When will you people learn that the ITK Thread is different to elsewhere on the site, if you want to talk formations, tenuous links to players, Twitter and any other non-related crap, then that’s the place to do it!

One lovely thread for all the random stuff you can think of, all lovingly looked after by our own @Archibald&Crooks

I anticipate this contract will suit everyone involved. No doubt there will be some sort of suitable buy out clause. I don't seem him doing a Zaha, when he is intent on playing for RM/Barca at some point, as this contract will take him past 31 years old if he's locked in.

That was my point. Though I do think he did well for us for a couple of seasons during the specified period.

It's a rare case of a clause working for all parties.

It gives us a guaranteed fee when there is a real threat of losing him for free, which in turn should allow us to adequately replace him if he leaves.

It gives Eriksen clarity going into the new season, a hefty payrise and new motivation (earn the move/prove them wrong).

The only concern is that I'm sure he'll have Real/Juve/Bayern/PSG in his ear like a bad conscience asking him to go on a free next year.

I think he will sign a new deal, have a blinding season, finally get his move to Madrid and we already have GLC who has learnt a bit from Eriksen during the season and we do not panic in 12 months time and we get a decent fee for him

And then Grealish comes?

Have a feeling he will stay at Villa whilst they are in the PL

 

[Sandros Shiny Head]

I’ve been pretty critical of him but if he actually signs a new contract instead of playing out his final year then fair play to him. Just as long as it’s in the contract that someone else takes set pieces

Second most goals in the league from set pieces.

Maybe he meant corners specifically? Because Eriksen has been god awful for the last 2+ years from the corner

 

[SSC]

If only it were that simple

Any chance of a deadline day style ITK ticker thread which mods can update so that key updates can be posted within as at the moment my stealth abilities at work are being questioned as I'm constantly scrolling through 15 threads with 90% tripe in desperate hope of some blue boxes of goodness!

Why do you need to start an argument about him again? Anyone with eyes knows his free kicks are terrible and corners just as bad. We were way more efficient with our corners when Lamela/Trippier taking them

It’s clearly a direction given from Poch. Do y’all really believe Eriksen can’t get it past the first man on a corner yet can make some of the absurd passes he regularly makes?

He can’t, simple as that

Guess that’s why he did it when we scored vs Dortmund?

You’re right, there’s basically nobody better in the league than him. I must have imagined when he hit Raheem Sterling’s knees when there wasn’t even a wall
