I know it’s cliche but CE signing a new deal really would be like a new signing. We were all so consigned to him going and having to sign a new player anyway, this really would be a special

Absolutely. Toby and Eriksen’s futures are so fundamental to how I’ll feel at the end of the window.

If you follow spurs on IG you might have seen the vid with him Poch playing keep ups (that’s what we call it) and if that didn’t tug on your please stay we need you heart strings then I don’t know what will.

Clearly there’s a very good working relationship there between poch and Eriksen, would be a fool not to think that he might be signing that extension sometime soon.

Would be really good for the club and Eriksen too. He is irreplaceable too me, he always has been. Not that I don’t think we could cope and recruit to continue without him, I just think the best case scenario is that he stays.

Just seen that, they both look like they're having fun

Why on earth would he need to be doing simple training drills alone if he was off? You people read too much into things.

Surely if he was already off we would have left him at home like Danny, and if he was so deeply unsettled that he couldn’t train we’d stop splashing his smiling face around all our social media.

I'm rubbish with money, just ask my wife, so I'd be grateful if someone could clarify the Eriksen finances for me. We sell him now, we get maybe £60 million, sell him in a year and we get zero. So we'd be paying over £1 million a week plus whatever wages he's on, making him surely the most costly player on anyone's books. Assuming no club he likes pays what we want this window and he stays, then is it in the best interest of both parties to tie him to a 3-year (or whatever) contract by giving him a massive pay rise (£200K per week perhaps) but making his 'dream move' to RM next year less likely because they'd have to pay top dollar? Is this the balancing act player and club are playing atm? Thanks.

Yes, that’s a good proposal and outcome from our point of view - but less so from Eriksen’s. If he doesn’t sign a new contract - as for Toby - he’s guaranteed to get away next summer, probably to have a pick of clubs, and to command a hefty signing on fee as well as a greatly increased wage packet.

If he signs and if Toby stays with adding Sessegnon, a RB and Lo Celso we're challenging.

Properly challenging.

I’m over his crap performances at the end of the season now. In May, I would of been happy for him to go.

Now I want him to stay. So long as Lo Celso signs to push him to fight for his place.

We would still need a new right back and a fast attacker. But we wouldn’t be too far away from challenging.

We're not getting an rb.
