Would be absolutely gutted with this to tell the truth. I really hope Eriksen wouldn’t consider it, but there’s loads of rumours around this right now.

Would be terrible, he would help them click IMO. Let's not forget that he was still being called upon to help us get any bit of passing cohesion even in his final months with us.
He still communicates fairly often with @spursofficial and the rest of the team on social media so part of me would like to think based on morals he wouldn't join them, but I don't know if that's just very naive to think as much. Is hard to know a players state of mind and when it's down to money you just never know.
I would still be very surprised if this was something to happen though.

Could see Utd going for him, based on the fact they only have Bruno, Pogba and VDB for that position.
Eriksen apparently is open to it. I guess he’s bidding to really make us hate him.

I’m hoping he wouldn’t do it. But I honestly think Arsenal are beyond repair. That club is an absolute mess.

I can see his point, though I don’t agree that Eriksen is washed up, they’ve already got Willian in that sort of position, and he’s been shite and on huge wages. They’ve also got Ozil hanging around on massive wages, again in the same position.

Where have you seen it suggested that Eriksen is open to a move to Arsenal?

It seems to me that if Eriksen is truly determined to get out of inter, and his focus remains on playing for a "top club", then Arsenal are about the only realistic option out there atm.
Given his form I cant imagine that the European giants he desires are any more likely to move for him now than they were previously... though perhaps there might be an opening at PSG? England is where he's valued but United and Chelsea are stacked in his position, he doesn't fit the Liverpool system, nor any more our own really. With Pep's fetish for playmakers I could half see City going for it on a cut price whim, but that seems a long shot.
But no, Arsenal is the one team he would fit to a tee. He's exactly what they need right now and would solve problems for them...so it would be slightly infuriating if they could get him at the price mooted. On the plus side though CE would add to their list of aging players on big money contracts - something that forebodes issues down the line.
However if he's any sense Christian will demand a loan, just to wherever he can get playing time and find form - then play his ass off to try and entice one of his fantasy options. Besides, Conte is liable to storm out of Inter in a huff at any moment, so who's to say the situation there won't be entirely different come Summer?

That's who I think he'll suit, I also think he might suit Barca but it's just whether his stock has gotten too low. If I was him i'd have kept my head down until Poch found a new club but looks like him and Conte just don't click even remotely. PSG is a shout especially if they were keen on dele, you'd think that Eriksen would be a better fit.

If his agent can engineer it he should go back to Ajax. Young enough to repair his career in a league with easier opponents and to be brutally honest I'm not sure that he has the right mentality to be back under the spotlight of the Prem with how the last 2 years have gone for him

Nah he went to Arsenal.
Makes sense to me. Money wouldn't be a problem, City need a shake up up front and he's an Ajax-schooled, Guardiola type. Could be the David Silva style player they're missing at the moment.
Got five minutes at the end when he came on for Lukaku.
