is there any reason why we still cannot meet his buy out clause ?
it will be cheaper than what we offered for Mortinho
That's as good as I've seen him play tbh.thought Erikson was really good tonight, would love him here.
I banged on about Isco and Afellay I dont know how many times in the summer. Both players that we could have got reasonably cheaply and ideally then left us to put the big money on Moutinho. Instead we are stuck with Sigurdsson and Dempsey
Eriksen is a fantastic player, first properly saw him when he was the best player on the pitch by a mile in and England vs Denmark game a few years back and ever since when I have seen him I have been impressed. Not someone who I have ever thought as a realistic target though, destined for bigger things IMO.
agreed. he's a good player though, but probably overpriced.That's as good as I've seen him play tbh.
The definition of missing the boat.
Side note: Eriksen was absolute shit at the Euros, I remain unconvinced. Think he needs a couple more years in Ajax.
If we do that does he then become another 'missed boat?'
We got Modric when he was just starting to make a name for himself. Many thought he was too lightweight. Admittedly he was impressive internationally but you get my drift.
If we can't afford established talent, or even break out talent like Hazard, Oscar and, by many reports, Isco, then the gamble is necessary I'm afraid.
