Double it and I would still bite your hand offFor all CE assists and goals, is there anyone one here who wouldn’t swap CE plus 25 mill for KDB, if not why not?

My over-riding impression of Eriksen v City was that he seemed disinterested. He didn't drop deep to try to get on the ball or try to help out in midfield. He lost possession time and time again and I didn't see him covering every blade of grass which is his stock in trade. Stats might say different, but IMO it was a poor display. City, on that form will make anyone look poor though to be fair.

This is clearly false.
And anyone watching a single Denmark game knows Eriksen isn´t disappearing when he is needed the most.
2014 ...

Just from the top of my head. If I remember correctly Eriksen scored an important winner late against Inter last season and without his late winner against Brighton we wouldn´t have played in the CL this season. Two fairly key moments of last year. Not sure if any of our other players had more key moments than he did.
I figure you haven’t answered my question, you’ve skirted around it and included players just to avoid it, the thread is about CE not the others.
YOu brought in Denmark.I really don't care about Denmark. By the way I only judge Eriksen in what I expect based on his quality. Thats the difference of opinions.I dont compare him to other players we have.I know and most people know he has talent. There is something lacking for me with him that truly great players have though. So when every talks of his as if he walks on water.....
Problem with Eriksen is we expect too much of him. Stick him in a team that is firing on all cylinders and he is unbelievable, but he's never going to the kind of player to drag you through a game single handedly. If the team starts playing well again, so will he.

But it proves that he has it in him.
Data kind of proves that for Spurs as well.
But if we are talking about Eriksen being great or truly great then I guess we can agree. Eriksen isn´t "truly great" if you mean along the lines of Bale. He is a lot better than most of the other players we got though. And a lot better than most of the players in the PL. So even if he wouldn´t walk into the starting line-up for RM and Barcelona he is still a bit special.
Are you talking last season? How about Lucas Moura? In any case really its a moot point. Let me ask you a question about how you rate Eriksen generally and compare that with how he played in key games like the one in Madrid and the one yesterday. And being one of our top players and many think he is the best of our players,when do you expect from him in key games?
I think about great players,especially midfield great players that I look to them to make a difference in the game when we need it.Not every game but generally when we need someone to inspire,to create but I NEVER see Eriksen as that player.Thats what I expect from great midfielders
