From what I understand he has rejected offers of a new contract. As of this summer coming he'll have 2 years left ( maybe 3 if Levy snuck one of those 1 year extension options on ). I think Vertonghen is in roughly the same boat as well ?

If they continue to run their contracts down then all bets might be off as to how Levy would approach that.

Hope that's wrong though and there's something in the works

contract goes to 2016

Its funny how the press always say this about our star players. Talk about stir the sh*t.

Could well leave in the next year or so but not a chance it'll be to one of the sides mentioned there.

Arsenal or Liverpool - Pbbbb! No chance Levy would sell him to a premier league side and I doubt he'd feel the need to leave us to join a team around our level.

AC Milan or Dortmund - don't be ridiculous. Backward step to go to either of them

PSG - money talks but Eriksen sounds like he wants to have as successful a career as possible. Going to the French league would not fulfill those ambitions.

Milan, despite their struggles are still a big club, bigger than us.

Dortmund, have been the only team to beat Munich to the title in recent seasons, and did reach the CL final a couple years back. Hardly a backwards step.

Some fans seem to think, we're bigger than what we actually are.

I see the media are once again on the pursuit for the next Bale, they just can't decide yet whether to focus on Lloris, Kane or Eriksen.

What's the problem ? We sell Eriksen for a massive profit and loan in Frazier Campbell's cousin. Poch get's the shits and leaves by "mutual consent", we hire Neil Warnock as our new manager and embark on another exciting 5 year plan.

Be a shame to loose anyone we don't want to, given time I think we are building something.

We're always building something, have been for years but our best players will almost always have their heads turned if we cant challenge for the top honors.

Although historically they're a massive club, Milan don't have much of a pull on players at all at the moment. They signed Taraabt on loan not too long ago, that's about the level of signings they get these days, not one of the top prospects in the premier league. Italian football is a mess at the moment apart from the likes of Juve and at a push Roma. It may come back again in a few years but I'd say right now, in footballing terms (and in wages probably!), AC MIlan would be a backwards step.

Dortmund, I'll give you. Slight exaggeration to say it'd be a backward step there but I wouldn't say it'd be much more than sideways, which I doubt he'd look to do right now.

I agree I was just saying it would be great to hold on to the players we want and have a settle squad for a few years at least.
