I wonder what our stance will be if the Pogba deal drags on. Eriksen might lose interest in Real also if he feels he's not their first choice.
I think this is why Herc said we would be after Lo Celso and NDombele regardless of the Eriksen situation. We'd obviously need another attacker if Eriksen left late but it wouldn't be as much of a fire drill in Lo Celso was already here.
I can't see them not getting Pogba.
If I recall correctly he extended his contract at Ajax by one year because he didn't want to leave on a free and deny them a transfer fee given the role they'd played in his development. The calculus is a bit different now because he's in his peak years, but given his previous I'm optimistic that we're going to get something out of him one way or another.
What’s lloris said
Yeah, before the season starts
he might be our hardest working but only fitness wise, he’s never seen a tackle he wouldn’t hide from. I’m not saying he has to be Sissoko but that moment with Mane in the final was pathetic
The reason Alli, Eriksen and Kane didn’t play at their best was because our lack of squad depth didn’t allow them to be looked after physically and mentally as well as providing them with competition.
Everyone in the whole squad, bar maybe Sissoko, could have played better. He still played pretty damn good and if anyone we bring in to replace him is as creative and hard working as Eriksen was in a "bad" year then we'd all be delighted.
