Player watch: Christian Eriksen

[THFCSPURS19]

Don't want him. Goes missing in big games

I don't want him either but lol at how people still think this when he's scored/assisted against all of the big teams.

 

[Thenewcat]

1) if he was motivated he wouldn’t have been pants before he left us or atrocious during his short spell at Inter

2) a can’t beat arsed Eriksen wasn’t one of our better plays. How on Earth can you come to that conclusion when he was anonymous for a long time leading up to his departure.

Eriksen ‘used’ to be a phenomenal player. A bit like Costa ‘used’ to be a goal scorer and a nightmare to defend against.

1). I’m talking about whether he is motivated now. Whether he was motivated at Inter is completely irrelevant to us, and frankly now so is what he did for us in either 2017 or 2019.

2). Eriksen had 12 assists for Spurs in 2018-19 - 3rd in the whole league and twice any other spurs player. So yeah, he was still one of our better players

Different circumstances one had been here 6 months and put on 200k a week. The other had been here the best part of a decade and was clear in that he wanted a new challenge was honest with the club and even when the club tried throwing money at him was clear in his desire for something fresh. He had given us the best years of his career. Its the same people that say they would let Kane go happily etc. Lets not compare the two as if they are like for like scenarios

I’m not comparing the scenarios.

I have said, 3 times, very clearly, that a few people used the info (which isn’t gospel) to slate Ndombele - the same posters are unperturbed when it comes to accepting Eriksen, a player that actually wanted to leave and achieved that goal. People shouldn’t act holier than thou when there are rumours that Ndombele wants to leave, saying shit like “I don’t want anybody that doesn’t want to be at the club” and then within the space of two weeks say they’d want somebody that didn’t and doesn’t want to be at the club. I don’t know how I can make that any clearer, and I’m honestly not trying to be rude at all.

What they have done in a Spurs shirt is irrelevant to what I’m saying, or trying to say.

I am not diminishing Eriksen’s time here, I loved him as a player. I’m not even slightly comparing the scenarios. I’m not slagging Eriksen off, I’m slagging the double standards of a few posters off.

I get your point, but the main frustration with Ndombele is the apparent lack of even basic professionalism. Some seem to think Eriksen didn’t try at the end of his spurs tenure but personally I think that’s bs - no doubt his form was impacted by his desire to leave but that’s not the same thing

Yeah, I get that too. I wouldn’t actually be vehemently opposed to Eriksen coming back and I don’t begrudge him wanting new experiences at all. I just think people should show a bit more support to our current players, rather than turning on them based on ITK

it would be great if the ITK was wrong as he’s a massive talent. It’s going to really piss me off if he ends up being amazing at Barca or something

 

[Montalbano]

If you honestly think Eriksen would return, watch episode 5 of All or Nothing. He wanted to leave so bad — there is no chance he comes back.

I watched it and yes he did but grass isn't always greener as they say. Still can't see him coming back though, shame as he was easily one of our best players and my favourite when he was on top of his game.

 

[Hazelton]

Let him struggle. He was a great player and servant mostly but those last couple of years were abysmal. Move on.

 

[TropicalYid]

Hes not coming back. I dont think neither he or the club wants that.
Loved Eriksen as a player, that is until we all saw that he couldnt be bothered and forced his way out.
Im actually smiling a bit when I read that he benchwarming in italy. Also when they lost EL. Cant help it.

That said, i would not want to see him at Arsenal, Chelsea or man u either.

 

[wishkah]

Prob a more reasonable and better returning player than bale. But yeah...

With all this misty-eyed romanticism, why don’t we lobby for the return of Allan Nielsen to cover the 2nd striker position? Why stop there? What’s Ramon Vega up to?

Not a lot, they are retired

 

[thekneaf]

I've watched the documentary. It just doesn't seem like he'd have any interest in coming back.

 

[midoNdefoe]

if we got a motivated Christian Eriksen at spurs for less than 30 million i would bite there hand off!

Try not to get the fingers down your throat...
I came across a good deal in Sainsbury’s recently and got thrown out trying to bite the cashiers hand off. I was sick everywhere!

 

[sam1972]

We took back Keane and CE, for me, is a much better player it’s a no brainer.

He's a big time businessman now, isn't he?

 

[paulcumpstone]

Eriksen was and is a player but i dont think it suits him or us, when it was clear he had become stale over the last 18 months he wasnt half the player

 

[doctor stefan Freud]

He’s been middling to crap for a couple of years now- I’d rather invest the funds in someone hungrier who actually wants to be with us. It’s a big fuck him from me

 

[Johno1470]

Not a chance he comes back. We’ll look like clowns, as will Eriksen and we’ll be paying at least double what we sold for.
