Christian Eriksen was a visitor to the Steel City on Wednesday evening but it was he who showed the people of Sheffield a true cutting edge.

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

If he goes, he goes, little point in getting worked up about it. The team is always more important than one individual.

This is absolutely bull crap...anytime we have a decent player we have the whip telling us if we don't get CL we lose X player but X player joined us without CL

Exactly. He's young, why would he leave in the summer? Why not the following summer, or 3 years time? He'll still be fairly young then. This is what has or is destroying football, generally... the CL. Unless you're mega rich, or a team that has a long history of CL, the rest of us don't stand a chance (of long term CL), if we lose our best players every season.
IMO, half the teams in CL are not even that great. They come from far inferior leagues.
Stuff them say I! Would rather us focus on the domestic cups from now on! (and EL). I want us to finish as high as possible, of course. But the CL has become like a cancer in football, it's an obsession that has ruined domestic game, the once glorious FA Cup has lost it's appeal because finishing 4th is considered success.

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.

If it did happen it would be the same old Spurs: One step forward, two steps back.

Who in our team is good enough to play to Eriksen's standard ?

Lloris , Vertongen , Chadli , Walker (if he fully recovers) , Kane , Adebayor .

Lamela for all his talent hardly did a thing last night .

Have I missed any ?

Eriksen needs to be surrounded by better players than he is at the moment .

Oh here we go... press have cottoned onto the fact that Eriksen's actually rather quite good so naturally he must be at a 'big' team... whatever the fuck that is.

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

Spur's may need punctuation lessons :rolleyes:


With all due respect to our players, the only one I can see being even 'ready' for a move would be Lloris. Eriksen has been great, but the bigger teams normally wouldn't want to pay our asking price until the player was a little more proven.

I don't think we'll have to worry until next season at the earliest. He's only 22 and will be enjoying his football, so I doubt he'd be in a rush.

Winning something this season would go a long way to keeping our key players happy, though.

Yes you absolutely must move to play for a CL team for your career to progress.......just ask Mirco Marin, Victor Moses, Kevin de Bruyne, Mo Salah and Andre Schurrle

Poch seems to inspire fierce loyalty in his players so I would hope to keep eriksen for a good few seasons at least.

Obviously we all know that eventually if real come in with silly money we can't turn it down (until the new stadium is sorted etc).
