Player watch: Christian Eriksen

[Joeyboey]

Honestly I’d rather risk losing him for nothing than sell to UTD (it another English club).

 

[hellava_tough]

It's his final pass or shot which is letting him down

His movement and willingness to get involved is not in question; he's still busy and certainly not hiding

Also, I'm not so sure 5-2-2-1 really suits him. He's constantly coming deep for the ball, when really he should be pulling the strings in the final third

Mirror headlines....(yeah I know, I know)
Man Utd plan to TREBLE
Christian Eriksen's Tottenham wages if they can seal summer signing
Real Madrid are also keen on landing the Denmark star but Manchester United are ready to offer him £240,000-a-week in wages
Eriksen, currently on around £80,000-a-week, is just two months away from entering the final year of his contract – and has so far kept his options open by refusing to commit to a new Tottenham deal.
Senior figures at White Hart Lane are increasingly concerned that Eriksen won't re-sign as the deal he's looking for would need to match the £200,000 they're paying striker Harry Kane.

The timing of this article is deliberately designed to try to unsettle and undermine our bid to qualify for the CL at their expense. Too many bandwagon jumping plastic Man Utd fans as given licence to play at being so called sports journalists I’m afraid. They are shit scared of them failing to qualify for next years CL and will resort to all sorts of shithouse tactics to ensure it happens. Man Utd should quite frankly be ashamed of themselves that despite having hundreds of millions in transfer funds, a hugely inflated wages budget and the advantage of not having to play over three quarters of their home games away from Old Trafford that they are still 4 points behind us. If we even had a fraction of their transfer budget and wage budget, and referees on our side, let alone being able to play all our home games at our real home imagine how far ahead of them we would really be.

the days of Man U clicking their fingers and our players jumping on a plane immediately to that shithole in Manchester are over.

10 years ago, Harry Kane and Dele would already have been playing at OT already. Fact is, they haven't even made a bid because they know there would be absolutely no point.

 

[Gassin's finest]

Woodward is absolutely shit scared of dealing with Levy. Our Danny would devour him before his boiled egg and coffee.

 

[SE Spurs]

Can't see him going to another PL club, I'd be very surprised.

Jesus wept, get a grip man. It’sjust click bait. It’s not a global conspiracy by a sports journalism equivilant of the illuminati to ensure United always succeed and we always fail.

Sports Journalists literally play bingo with transfer rumours at this time of year. They pick players names out of a hat, then club names, and then write “articles” and “exclusives.”

I don’t think that united are in for him.

I won’t be surprised that this ‘news’ originated from MUFC .

According to some journos, RM are interested in Eriksen & Pogba (amongst a list of other players) and United might have put this out to get RM to place their attention on getting Eriksen first, whilst United coaxes Pogba into signing a new contract with them.

Full article says RM aren't interested...concentrating on Pogba and Hazard only....but I admit the story does look somewhat "contrived".

So here in the canaries I was chilling watching Gol, the main spanish football channel. They just did a piece on Zidane and his wishlist for the summer... Mbappe, Pogba and Hazard. Our Chris nowhere near.

Was Zidane involved in this at all, or was this from people who should know his targets?

Whether it's good or bad (probably bad) I can see us going to a 4-3-3 if Eriksen leaves us and replacing him with a fast wing forward like England are doing

With Kane dropping deep and having son and another quick winger ahead of him. A midfield 3 of Winks Dier and Dele (if replicating England style)

The only problem with that system is that it doesn't get the best out of Harry. He seems to be a link man, rather than the guy getting the shots.

A lot of stray passes, underhit dead balls, and questionable decisions today. Still got his assist.

He's always creating chances and always running for the team. I don't mind passes going astray if they are creative passes that could open things up for us.
I still think that he gets in every other side in the country.

 

[BringBack_leGin]

Top assister in the league while having a shit season apparently...

 

[fortworthspur]

he was good yesterday. of course some of his passes dont come off because he's attempting passes nobody else on the team can make.

 

[Hakkz]

He shouldn't be allowed to take any free kicks though.

agree. he hits the wall 90% of the time. corners suck, too. I was actually thinking during the game what will it take for him to be relieved of that duty.

Didn't Llorente almost score off an Eriksen FK yesterday?

Was that the one where Eriksen hit the wall and the ball trickled through?

I think he means the free kick out wide, to the front post, where Llorente came first and headed it wide.

Fair enough.

I still refuse to believe there's not another player that can consistently put the ball over the wall into the danger area.

No idea, it was in Spanish

It was Real Madrid, Zidane, then those three players.

that was one of the 10%.
