And then players will think even harder before joining if they know that’s how we treat players. It’s all a balancing act. I agree I want him gone though if he doesn’t want to be here. Even if we don’t get what we think he’s worth.Little bit of a harsh way to word it but I agree.
It is the signal being sent to others ,if players are allowed to run down contracts/ refuse to sign it will harm the club in the long run as it will become the norm.
Being pissy about a transfer and being pissy about training/playing are different things. He wants a transfer but if he stays for a year it doesn't mean he will underperforming. If anything he has an even greater incentive.
It's a little embarrassing how Eriksen/us try and force him on Madrid when they clearly aren't that interested.
Whilst I understand that footballers may wish to test their capabilities at the highest possible level in the game, getting pissy in order to achieve this is certainly not the way forward.
Bit of respect please Eriksen, I mean, c'mon, I was one of the feckers that actually spelt your name correctly.
Erikson is calm. It's not as if he's acting like a dick like Pogba, Lukaku, Zaha. He's given us great service for many years and now he's getting a bit restless because RM have tapped him up.Yea, agree. Ericksen need to calm down and see how this pans put
Totally agree. Also Eriksen May have ‘total belief’ in his own ability and believe that when he gets his chance then he’ll take it and remain a fixture in their 11.“Zidane clearly doesn’t” Really? How do you know that? You don’t think they’re possibly playing the card to get him cheap? Do RM buy Squad Players?
Whilst I appreciate all the ITK’s info and am sure it is given in good faith, let’s not just take it as read that he is acting ‘pissy’. Until he comes out in press or is clearly acting unprofessionally I will give him the benefit of the doubt. I think his previous six years deserve that much.
Re Toby: at some point the club has to move on. At some point he's clearly burned bridges at the club, no point pining over him just like Eriksen.
Sanchez is in my opinion an incredible prospect and arguably needs to be getting regular game time soon. He was excellent alongside Vertonghen for half a season. Last season he was a bit wobbly but he didn't get much of a run of games I don't think him and Toby had good chemistry. Vertonghen is a better leader and organiser IMO.
He actually brings more height and pace than our current CBs, which is good to have.
I'm sure we'll consider adding another CB but I think Davinson and Vertonghen will be first choice. Will be sad to see Toby leave but that's football.
