What itk has confirmed the delegation?
On a pod earlier today Duncan Castles and Portuguese journo actually confirmed exactly who was in in the delegation - apparently it was 2 people including our main financial/transfer bod whose name escapes me. (Not Levy lol)

I'm in the camp now where I want us to move Eriksen on. He's given his everything to the club and I love him as a player, but he wants to try something new and we should cash in on him rather than risk him leaving on a free.

Bruno Fernandes and Lo Celso would be perfect as replacements and i would love us to get them in this next week but I just cant see that happening. I'm worried we will get one of either BF or GLC.....and still sell Eriksen before the end of the European window.

Dream end to the window for me would be GLC and BF in and shift Eriksen on to play somewhere new like he wants

I wouldn't be that surprised if we sell Eriksen (after next Thursday) and don't sign anyone at all
Even for Levy that would be a complete joke and he knows it. He'd get skinned alive and genuinely risk Poch throwing in the towel. If we don't sign anyone there's no way in hell Eriksen leaves.

Would they not be talking about that very scenario?

Poch will not want a player in the squad that isn’t 100% committed. I don’t think it’s inconceivable that he goes after the English deadline.

For all we know there could be some more ITK today, but after A&C rightfully dedicated the ITK thread to Mr Pink, he's holding off until tomorrow

Eriksen's a pro and he'd be playing his best to impress potential suitors. The risk of us slipping into 5th or 6th by selling him is greater than any fee we'd get for him. Plus Poch would probably just give up there and then and I couldn't blame him.

Absolutely, but, would Poch pick him?

Especially if he had someone he had a player that was committed both in contract and in-line with the project.

Well in this apocalyptic scenario in which we don't sign anyone and have Eriksen running his contract down, there's not a single player in the squad that can do what Eriksen does. Poch would have to play him or we'd be fucked creatively.

Lamela would get a lot more game time but he's not a replacement and there's no other natural successor to fill his boots. Poch would be insane to drop him and I highly doubt he would - he's had no issue playing Rose and Toby after worse transgressions.

Remember Levy with the suitcase full of money going to get Modric ????
I reckon levy's really bad at leaving suitcases behind cause he goes on all night benders and things get out of hand. Explains why we always go abroad with a ton of cash and come back empty handed.

Completely agree, hope that both GLC and BF are in to replace him.

If I recall there was a picture of Levy out there closing the deal with Luka and his crew. Levy was looking like a boss that day for sure.

I cant see United allowing him to play in a game before moving to them? He could injure himself badly.
Not saying that he's going to United, but it's an important game for them. Situations like that have turned bad for the player though (Eduardo Salvio comes to mind).

Really warming up to the idea of BF joining the team. I have a feeling that Dele will benefit the most from having an additional creative player on the team, be it GLC or BF.​
