I think some of us are missing the point about Eriksen leaving, this isn't like Michael Carrick for whom we were just a lifeboat from the sunken ship West Ham United a safe haven until he could go somewhere better which he did as quick as he could nor is it like Luca Modric who wanted out didn't want to waste any more of his career at a second rate club and wanted to go somewhere better somewhere like Chelsea and went public to slag us off and force his way out, he didn't choose Real we did. Eriksen isn't using us as a stepping stone but if a change that suits him comes along I understand why he might be interested, people in all walks of life need a change from time to time and he has been with us for almost half a career so I am not surprised but this time his leaving won't hurt us as we can bring in quality, this happens at all big clubs so we should be ready for it and not be so defensive.
