I listened to talksport for the first time in ages earlier in the week and happened to hear a chat about Barkley coming to Spurs and if he could fit in with Dele and Eriksen. It was Durham and Goughie. In a throwaway comment right at the end of it, Goughie said 'and obviously there's no way Eriksen is worth £30m' - even though they were saying Barkley was - and that he was only that 'cheap' because he's in the last year of his contract.
I mean, there's possibly as argument to be had whether Eriksen is worth around the £30m mark but to just fob it off like that was incredibly retarded. We paid £12m for him, which would've been around £20 if he wasn't in the last year (I believe) of his contract and he's been excellent overall for us so his value has obviously risen and I could see us getting £30/35m at least if we sold him to a Madrid or Juventus etc. He's still very young and has had new hair put in so it's all good. Ozil was a genuine worldie at Madrid but has only shown glimpses here, i'd rather have Eriksen but at the same time, I'd probably rather have Madrid's Ozil.
Anyway, at the end of it I remembered that it was talksport and Goughie is a fat ex cricketer who can't speak properly and doesn't watch a lot of football matches.
