Player watch: Christian Eriksen

[Ben1]

The club has played an absolute blinder on this one media wise.

 

[FinnYid]

Say no, get replament in, sell to Europe later on. There is enough interest in Europe and If we have replacement purchased and things are sour between him and club, he is better off walking now than being bit part player behind replacement and see his market worth regarding wages shrink. Sure there are risks, there are risks on any scenario.

 

[arunspurs]

Also face the fact that we sell him to Utd which strengthens a rival massively and we lose the player that makes us tick. We dont get deals done or only replace him with 1 player who hasnt had a preseason with us, doesnt know the league and thus makes us weaker as a team and Utd very possibly finishes above us in the league. If you are honestly ok with it then im baffled.

The fact its gotten to the stage where he could join Utd is a shambles

Honestly, I see 4 lines of moaning but whats your solution ?
If he doesnt sign a deal, we got to sell him. And the European window being open after us does us no favour.
He has us on strings and we cant do anything but sell him. Do you really think our club are happy to sell him to United.

If it happens we can only hope we reinvest it properly & it works.

I think Levy will ask 88m for Eriksen and settle at 72m
We will buy Fernandes and Lo Celso and Sessegnon

We are ok

This is ITDK

This is absolutely not the move he dreamed of. He turned down City before coming to us. He clearly saw us as a stepping stone, and I dont blame him at the time, to get to the club of his dreams. That club Im pretty sure was not Man U. In my mind, he's ballsed it up for himself, and that might be one reason why he seems so frustrated right now.

If that happens, Ron, you’re my new hero

I like your optimism ?

Easy to say...
Suppose United offer is 350k or 400k a week (they are most likely selling Pogba).
We reject it now and hope Juve, Atletico comes in with 40m and 200k a week deal.
Eriksen could just sulk and not accept. He could walk on a free next season and sign even bigger contract

There is no guarantee that we can sell him to a EU rival with the window closed. If Eriksen is willing to join United, he will be willing to wait for a year

 

[soflapaul]

So you'd let him go there for nothing in a year and leave yourself down £50m with a player who clearly isn't at interested as he used to be?

I think there are other options such as selling to someone on the continent at a reduced rate. It isn't my money but i'd probably lose 10-20m not to strengthen a rival.

Ron I don’t know you but I hope you’re right!

This is what we need to hope for. That is called improving.

Take Lo Celso or Fernandes out of that equation and we are not really pushing the boat out.

I'm still yet to read anything that makes me think any potential rumblings of an Eriksen to Man Utd deal are being driven by the player wanting to go to Utd rather than Spurs wanting to sell him in preference to leaving for free next summer.

I can't see a move to Man Utd making sense from Eriksen's perspective even if you suspect him of being motivated by money rather than a desire to join whatever club he chooses next summer. If he left on a Bosman next year he'd be just as likely to get himself a great financial package as he would now if he left for Man Utd (who would also have a transfer fee to pay).

I'm not saying there isn't any smoke here, but I think that if there are talks with Man Utd in the offing then it's much more likely for Spurs to be pushing for a deal than it is Eriksen.

What if the only other offers we have he isn't interested in? There's so many things to consider, things we may not know about that force our hand.

Christian holds all of the cards and we have to accept that. If he doesn't want to be here and would rather play for Man U leave him to it and let him make that mistake. If it's Man U or Real Madrid but only Man U are offering what can we do except reject and rid ourselves of £50m if that's what the bid is etc. We have very little we can do, that's the nature of a contract expiring unfortunately

 

[spursfan77]

Real and Barca aren't interested and all the other big clubs either don't want him or won't pay him half of what he'd get at Utd.

At this stage it's surely either Utd or he sees our his contract.

He sees out his contract then

I don't disagree with your position but might not choose it myself. At the end, my/our argument is a bit of a theoretical one. If other clubs are interested, especially continental ones, they would tell Levy and Christian about it and likely make a general/budget offer which woudl then allow the three parties to conclude whenever. if there are no little birds whispering then that's a tough decision and for 50m, i'd probably sell to ManU. 20-30m, probably not since they could be in the thick of things with us for that CL spot next year. If we had brought more players in, i'd be more inclined to do it. but without a greater number of incoming quality signings, i'd bank on Christian having an amazing year as he would be on one massive tryout.

I mean first you have to have a sense of humor,a sense of farce. Second we have to know who we are dealing with. But with that we are a fly trying to get to the top of a tea cup but the fact us we have moved close to the top.Its called Teutonic physics (don't ask me what it is)
But I know we will survive,I mean we won't go down.Even Leeds already are not trying to do a Leeds.With Levy we can never ever do a Leeds.
Darlington maybe.

If we get replacement in, it weakens position of Eriksen a lot. Year is a long time on football and after a season as bit part player, he won't be that hot commodity even on free. Top tier don't purchase and offer huge contracts just because someone is free. But key and risk is getting replacement first in.

Comeon mate, Ramsey gets 400k a week & he misses loads of games unlike Eriksen. Be realistic

I have no idea what you're saying, but im rolling with it, because you've quickly become a favourite poster.
