Fucking hell really? Levy forcing a player to join United? What a lot of horseshit, United fucked up the Bruno deal, cant close the Dybala deal and have now turned to Eriksen.
Eriksen wants a move, he said he wanted a challenge (stated publicly), Real havent came in for him either have any other elite club, he has refused to sign a new contract... but yet STILL this is Levy's fault, catch a grip? People talk on here like United are some shite side, they are still easily one of the big 5-6 clubs in the world, probably the biggest support wise, and have still managed to win more than we have in the last 5 years, oh wait thats right no one cares about silverware anymore

No-one can force him to go. By going to Utd at his age he'd basically end his chance of a move to RM/Barca. Hence why I'd lose all respect for him IF he went to Utd.
Whilst he gets a lot of stick for corners he has very good stats for indirect free kicks. It would be a threat.
It was in jest, I believe the low corners are partially intentional.

This is all on Eriksen and Madrid stringing him along no doubt, but that doesn't mean this link to Utd has been encouraged by Levy, as it would be the smart move for the club financially.

So where is this similar move to get rid of Toby? You can't make any player want to go anywhere and does Levy seem like the type of guy to lose any leverage by offering one of our best midfielders to, United a club he doesnt have the best of histories with? It's just all bullshit.

Toby seems to have not let it cause any issues on the pitch, and clearly didn't have a buyer at £25m. In which case keeping him for 12 months isn't such a painful scenario.
Levy was actively offering Toby to Utd last summer!

Because he has run his contract down and put us in a position where we can't win. Nobody exhibited any real disdain for him until it became apparent what he was doing. You got a few dumb old guy comments about his corners and not getting stuck in, but he was one of our most liked players until it became obvious he's dicked us about.

You really believe that? Toby made up his mind up a long time ago to go on a free. Why do you think there were no offers for him? In my opinion any contact with his as simply met with a "not interested". Toby for £25m is a bargain for anyone
This thread just gets me thinking what most of you lot would have been writing about Hoddle if the internet was around then.
Hoddle wasn't known for his tacking, but just like Eriksen has provided many great moments with his goals and assists, at about the same rate as Hoddle did for us, and although Hoddle helped us win trophies, Eriksen has been the lynchpin in the consistent team we have had over the last 5 years.
Hope he stays, but if he goes will be fondly remembered by me, and will wish him well wherever he ends up.

We don’t sell our best players to Man Utd anymore so doubt this will happen. We only sale to the likes of Madrid nowadays. Poch told the fans to stop having this small club mentality. Let’s listen to him. As if we’d sell him to Utd, as if he’d want to go haha.

I think the combination of wage demands, his age and a fee put paid to any hopes Toby had of leaving. I think he'd have happily moved if a side come in with the right money.
Our ITK last summer was full of us trying to do deals for Martial and Toby, if you think it's all lies then why even post in this section of the site? Had it not been for Woodward both would probably have happened.
I'm of the opinion that Levy is pushing the Utd move as an option (Herc and Gards have alluded to this being the case) but Eriksen may not take it. We can't afford to be letting a £50m asset go for nothing, especially one who's head seems to have gone. Levy hates Utd, but he values the club's financial situation more!

If he goes then we will be able to afford to up our bids for lo celso and fernandes. As I’ve said since the start of the window, getting players in is dependant on him going. Looks like it’s now true. Extra cash means we could up those bids and push them through. So you could see why on that basis we hypothetically could be pushing him to Man U.
Personally I reckon he will stay now unless Madrid come in for him and then probably sign a precontract with them in January if Zidane is out of a job by then.

I can’t believe money is the problem with these deals I just thought Levy thought they were massively overpriced? I don’t see how getting some money for a player will make us pay well over the odds for another one? Levy is smarter than that surely?

Not sure if its BS but I wouldn't be surprised.We just have to ultimately come out ahead.
Levy spent the Bale money so maybe 2 + Sessegnon are on the cards

Exactly.
Hazard won chelski that europa final.
If Eriksen wanted to make Real Madrid love him too he should have taken that Champions League final by the scruff of the neck and won it for us, which is what true elite players who are good enough for clubs like Real Madrid would do.
And also improve his set piece delivery... ??
