I concur.

Some fans are so traumatized by the 4 game winless run that they forgot who raised their expectations with a 14 game unbeaten run in the first place.

These are the same ones who never lavished praise in that superb run but can’t wait to rub salt in when things aren’t going their way.

These are the same individuals whose hatred for an Individual outweighs their love for the club and cant wait to see him fail just so they can say “i told u Jose isnt a good fit”

If you really love the club, you’ll back whoever is in charge be it Gargelmel, Thanos or Megatron as long as they bring success

Thanos would be my dream signing, big strong, snaps half of the opposition out of existence....

Accoring to the Sunday Mirror Inter want Lingard on load if they can offload Eriksen. I can't decide if they're just clueless or completely desperate

Probably more of a case of more media BS desperate to try and fill column inches during an really quiet start to the transfer window.

I'd love it if we brought him back on loan with an option - as we've seen this year in particular, it's all about the squad game.

With him and our other options we could rotate without compromising on the ability to create chances.

My feeling is (and it's in no way qualified, just an opinion) that CE and others suffered with overplaying, overtraining or both when Poch was here. There's only so much you can do before you start suffering physically and mentally and it definitely seems more the latter with CE.

Thanos got results and to be fair had a valid point! I would not be against Thanos or megatron as our next manager ofc after Jose has chosen retire!

p.s Megatron was a very underrated leader, fantastic motivator! Before the crash he was streets a head of prime!

I just don't know. The #10 role is hardly one that we need to fill with N'Dombele and GLC able to do it, although the latter has had injury issues.

Depends on what the numbers are I guess.

I think he wasn’t bad at all in the few minutes he played under Jose... having him on loan is better than nothing ( which appears more likely this window )

Offloading Dele and getting Eriksen in makes no sense, as Eriksens departure is a big factor in Dele’s drop in productivity.

If they were permanent deals i'd agree. But if it's loans all round then it's a completely different situation. If Dele goes on loan and plays out of his skin he's worth £50m plus again and PSG would likely pay it.

Us loaning Dele to PSG and getting in Eriksen on loan as the replacement is a good deal imo. It could lead to us getting Eriksen fairly cheaply if he does well as well as selling Dele at a decent price and if neither deal works out then nothing lost and back to the status quo.

Because it seems that when Chris hardly plays these days when he's actually on the field.

Despite what he may not provide, the things that he can provide is something we very much lack and that's to just aid us in keeping the ball and setting a tempo. Even in his final period with us he was still called upon to do as much to effect. Of course there's a chance such a move won't turn out as we'd want but Dele won't be getting a look in regardless IMO or maybe even more accurately, I don't think Dele will raise his game enough to force himself into the side.

Plus I can't see there being the greatest of options for us this window for multiple reasons.

And both players will be suitably motivated to give their all.

I would love Eriksen back if it’s a motivated eriksen becUee we lack creativity at times ! Though were does he play in our system the only spot in ndombeles so then what happens with ndombele ? Jose clearly doesn’t trust him as one of the two deeper cms

Dele going out and Eriksen coming in simply won’t happen because we’re at our foreign player limit in the prem squad.

Regardless, I don’t think there is anything in the story anyway. Probably just agents letting clubs know these players are available.
