I still don't understand why he is so underrated. He's been one of the best playmakers in world football over the last year.
I reckon it's because he has the charisma of a goldfish. I love the guy but he is not a "sexy" football player, I don't mean in the looks department, but in his style of play, celebrations, general demeanour. Someone like Coutinho will always grab the headlines, or even Alli, over him regardless of stats. He might come across as a robot at times but if that means other clubs ignor him then that suits me fine.

Yes, also the fact he doesn't play for a one of the top footballing nations must have an impact. I'm sure if he was German, French, Argentinian, Brazillian etc.. he would be rated more highly. As you say though, the longer he goes under the radar, the better for us

He has a typically Nordic demeanour, no?

I think his underrated, cos he doesnt look like a footballer, not got the tats or the flashy haircut, he goes under the radar, a lot of his play does as well, because his not a flashy player. Pogba maybe the bigger name with the hollywood style and stupid celebrations, but I know who I would rather have in our team.

Just come across Eriksen's Twitter & Instagram and noticed his username is chriseriksen8 on both.

Has this always been the case or is he now likely to be taking the #8?

If £90m isn't enough for Coutinho, they'll have to pay more than they got for Neymar to get Eriksen.

The worrying thing about this is that Eriksen has alway's dreamed of playing for Barca from boyhood.

I would accept it if they pay the exact amount they received for neymar within the next two days.
If not they can bugger off.
