I hope he does leave now, it will be better for us.
Don't want him signing a new deal in a deflated sort of way. It's obvious he wants to go so hopefully it's sorted out and we get who we want in.

As much as I like him as an individual and enjoy his eye for a pass, I won't be too sorry to see him go. With every passing season the PL gets faster and more physical, and that's just not Eriksen's thing. These days he rarely tackles, he shirks 50-50s, and offers very little protection across the edge of our box. Opponents get past him with ease these days. The PL demands more.

Unlike Bale and Modric I won't be devastated if he leaves. They had their best seasons before they left, and the holes the left in the squad were huge.
Eriksen is a fantastic player, and by far our most creative. However whether it's through a new signing or change of formation I honestly don't think we'll be much worse without him. I'd love him to sign on and finish his career here, but if he goes so be it.

I just can't see many of the big clubs in Europe being able to pay us what we would want for him.
Real Madrid - they could normally afford him no problem, but will most likely be signing Hazard. Unless there's a deal to be done including Bale or Isco etc then not sure if they'll pay out £100m plus for Eriksen after the current spending spree they're on.
Barcelona - if they move Coutinho on this summer, then I could possibly see them bringing Eriksen in but I don't think they actually need him.
Juventus - possible, could see him playing there but not sure they'll be able to spend big on him. Spent big on Ronaldo last season and don't think they could afford to do it again so soon.
Bayern Munich - with James Rodriguez not signing permanently there's a space for Eriksen there, but again would they be able to spend big on him? They're trying to sign Sane from City and already looks like they might get priced out of that at around £80m.
Then that leaves the wildcard option of Man City or Liverpool coming in for him - both could afford him but no way would we sell him to another club in England.

News coming out now that Eriksen told Poch he wanted to leave TEN DAYS before the biggest game in his and our history.
That's absolutely disgusting if true.

His mind has been elsewhere for sometime. On his day a fantastic player, but not in the class of a Modric. Hopefully he can be sold quickly.

I'm not so sure it's that bad of a thing to do if that's true. To be fair Poch himself hinted publicly at leaving in the build up to the game (if we had won).

Not sure I’d go that far, but it’s not exactly the best timing..... and unlike Hazard who actually influenced his last game and massively contributed to them winning a trophy, Eriksen just didn’t turn up.

Don't you think you're blowing this out of proportion? Come on, we've known that Eriksen has dreamt of a Real Madrid move for a long time, this news didn't surface out of the blue 10 days ago. He's been a very loyal servant of the club, always worked hard for the team, and now it's time for a new challenge. He's maintained full respect for Spurs and Poch wouldn't have played Eriksen in the final if he thought that he wasn't 100% committed to the game.

I have loved him but this season something felt different. His body language, work rate. Just didn't seem right, don't remember the last time he went in for a tackle. We will lose a lot of creativity but I think we can bring in someone to replace that, I also think it will allow us to play a different system.
I just hope its abroad, don't want to see him at City or Liverpool. We need to bring in a player who can beat the first man at corners.

Yeah I’m sure Levy will make statements that he’s not for sale. All part of the negotiation process.

If JJ knew about this months ago so did Poch so I'd say that was bullshit.

Not only that but we don't even know if that's true. My guess would be that he told Pochettino long before that, if his form is anything to go by but I guess there's really no point in trying to guess.
