We need to either get rid now or tie him down. No half measures.
How do we do that if he refuses to sign and refuses a transfer. IMO he will run the contract down, same as Toby.

But that has nothing to do with Eriksen having 4 or 1 year left on his contract. He has never been a player that gets stuck in and wins tackles. It’s stupid to say that he suddenly has stopped getting stuck in when he has never been that kind of player.
Yeah, I don’t see why he wouldn’t do this. If he signed a new contract with a clause that states if Madrid come in with a bid over 80 million we sell, the player still gets his move and we still get compensated.
The problem is, does Levy proactively sign Eriksen replacement with the risk that Madrid may not come in for him, or does he play it safe and sell Eriksen and leaving us weaker as we will he unable to sign a replacement in time, which would be totally unacceptable for us fans POV
I didn't.

What could possibly work is a loan swap with Juve for Dybala. IMO Eriksen won't sign a new deal and will go for free next year. That would leave a sour dressing room and maybe he'd be better off out of the picture. If we could get Dybala with an option to buy we'd keep hold of a chunk of money this year which could enable us to complete our other targets. Of course, it would depend massively on players willingness and the clubs also, but Eriksen might fancy a year in Turin since he doesn't seem very enthused about staying here. I'd prefer him to stay though since it would mean some huge changes at the heart of the team.
Well you kinda did. Someone asked what has given you the impression that Eriksen wouldn’t give his all. And you quoted him and implied the 50/50 tackles being the reason.
Like he literally asked for reasons. If your post isn’t meant as an answer to his question, then maybe not quote him...
I would hope that moving forward we start a policy of selling players who have 2 years or less on their deals - being 1 year gives us no leverage and we simply can't let these multi-million pound assets go for free, we aren't that rich to replace. Would suck to be forced to sell a big player when we don't absolutely have to, but can you imagine if those with time on their side such as Dele or even Kane are looking at this thinking big bumper payday and pick of my clubs. Whereas we could probably fetch £100m for Dele, £175m for Kane if they still have 2 years left. I know it seems extreme, but it's been mentioned multiple times we will probably see this behaviour more and more over the coming years
Nobody asked me anything. I wasn't answering a question. I was merely making an observation.
We could offer Eriksen a bumper signing on fee to any new deal, say £10m - that might get him thinking twice about Real. As for the club, it’s either £10m to Eriksen or £50m for a replacement.
We should give Eriksen 90 mins tomorrow If he is not going to be signing a new deal to have an audition against our opposition who seem to be the only team he wants to join.....
